FARM WITH MANSION AND EVENTS CENTER
A Riverside Refuge: Nestled in the bosom of nature, Quinta de Santo António do Freixo represents a harmonious fusion between the human being and the majestic surrounding nature. Its serene waters and lush vegetation, carefully maintained, create a symphony of green that transports those who visit it to a state of almost unknown inner tranquility.
Located just 8 kilometres from the centre of Leiria, this vast property covers an impressive 10 hectares (100,000 square metres). The architectural ensemble that adorns its grounds has a total covered area of 1,639 square meters, integrating perfectly into the bucolic surroundings along the banks of the River Lis.
Originally belonging to the family of the poet and doctor Américo Cortez Pinto, there are official records of its existence dating back to the eighteenth century. acquired in 1983, the farm has undergone a transformation, becoming a place dedicated to the realization of events, becoming its main activity since 1998.
This unique architectural complex, testimony to centuries of transformations, includes:
The manor house, carefully restored in the 1980s, stands almost on the edge of the river, near a waterfall. This two-storey dwelling offers 7 bedrooms and a romantic outdoor balcony that opens onto a French-style garden with centuries of history and the river.
The old cellar, recently converted into a second function room, retains the original stone wine presses and is surrounded by a lush vine.
Adjacent to the cellar, we find a dovecote, two storage areas, changing rooms and other facilities, including cold rooms, an industrial kitchen, pantry, engine room, residence for caretakers and storage spaces.
A central courtyard connects the main house, the old cellar and a small rural tourism house. Access to the events area is via a central bridge.
The function room, a true architectural marvel, was the latest addition to the farm. Designed to integrate into the landscape in a harmonious way, its most striking feature is the totality of the glass side walls, ensuring that those present inside never lose their connection with the river and the surrounding gardens.
The old farm buildings have been reconverted to support event activities.
In addition to the gardens, there is a wide lawn and a central alley of orange trees that leads to another orchard.
Finally, a spectacular DRIVING RANGE to enhance golf shots, with privacy, tranquility and safety!
