Description
The 'Quinta da Casa do Pelourinho' with an area of 4.961 m2, is located in the Alto Douro wine region, in a village belonging to the municipality of Resende, Viseu.
It is a centennial residential building, in stone, with sober and imposing lines that give it a manor house style, characteristic and traditional of this area of Portugal. The House with an area of 468 m2, with a very appreciable architectural style, consists of three floors and is inserted in an old farm (all fenced) in the historic centre of the town. It also has a beautiful granite emblazoned portal that gives access to the farm.
On the ground floor, with access both through the land and inside the house, we find a deactivated wine press, but with all the equipment recovered and restored, illustrating to its dimension an authentic 'wine museum'. Then, we come across a large living room, where family members often gather for social gatherings with groups of friends. We also refer to the walled patio, with benches, barbecue and flower beds. On this floor there are three other rooms: an equipped laundry room, a storage room / pantry and a workshop, with some equipment for technical assistance. The house is fed by two water supply pipes: one from the public network and the other from a mine that belongs to the house. This equipment is located in the workshop. All these rooms have independent accesses.
On the first floor, which constitutes the residential part, we find the main entrance with direct access to a wide reception room, which communicates with a generous living room for visitors. In the centre, a majestic hallway with accessibility to all divisions of the house; 1 beautiful dining room, 1 equipped kitchen, with an old and beautiful fireplace, deactivated, but fully restored, 1 small room to support the entrance from the outside and other services. On this same floor, but on the opposite side, there are three more bedrooms and two bathrooms.
The second floor is served by an elegant wooden staircase supporting the housing part. We also find an office, a comfortable solarium and four bedrooms, one of them with large dimensions, a very nice balcony overlooking the main entrance of Casa do Pelourinho.
It also has a garage and the caretaker's house in need of restoration.
The farm is laid out in terraces, has a new automatic irrigation system and has been completely renovated with fruit trees: vines, cherry trees, orange trees, lemon trees and plum trees. Another 3 agricultural properties, totalling around 6 hectares, are part of this sale and are located close to the main house. These properties are inseparable from the sale, as there are 3 water mines on them that supply the house. The water comes from springs in closed stone tunnels and is used for human and animal consumption and agricultural irrigation, available all year round. All the pipework was renewed at the end of 2022.
Quinta da Casa do Pelourinho is almost overlooking the River Douro and is 90 km from Oporto and the Francisco Sa Carneiro International Airport, 15 km from Lamego and 10 km from Resende. From Lisbon, we will always talk about 3 hours of travel (Refrª. 859-3)
