Description
Historic Century Farm with Rural Tourism
Located between Nazare and Sao Martinho do Porto, this property, dating back to the 13th century, has been in the same family since the 19th century.
Classified as a national public interest site since 2005, this property may be the only example in Portugal of Cistercian medieval farms, considered the best-preserved in the Iberian Peninsula.
The main house, on the ground floor, consists of eight bedrooms where ceilings, walls, and fireplaces are richly decorated with wood and stucco, as well as the entrance hall, library, and living room. The furniture mainly dates from the 19th century and is well-preserved. The upper floor is characterized by a longitudinal corridor that distributes to nine bedrooms. At the top of the house, there is a living room, dining room, kitchen, and an office. There is also the second upper floor, an attic, the width of the house, which leads to a en-suite bedroom with a privileged view of the two main gardens of the property.
The original 13th-century building has undergone several interventions over the centuries, due to architectural preservation requirements necessary to fulfill the functions of a wine press and wine barrel storage, which can still be seen today. Iron columns were installed in the cellar, supporting wooden beams corresponding to the floor of the first floor, the original barn of the Estate.
The cellar is a 1000sqm space with capacity for approximately 150 seated people, equipped with male and female sanitary facilities and a large bar. This room is ideal for hosting events, especially thematic and historical ones, wine tastings, and other activities.
In the area of the former stables, six 1 bedroom and 2 bedroom duplex apartments with spacious areas were built, ideal for families. Each apartment has a double bedroom, living room, bathroom, kitchen, and is equipped with central heating. All apartments have a terrace overlooking the cultivated fields.
The property covers an area of 63,940 sqm and a total gross construction area of 5,573 sqm. The main building has a facade height of 14 meters.
