Description
18th-century manorial estate with a palace in Torres Vedras, just 45 minutes from Lisbon.
Former residence of the Counts of Tarouca, the property, classified as Public Interest, boasts over 5,000m2 of built area, comprising a main house (manor), several annexes, a chapel, cellar, gardens (15,000 m2), and a 9-hectare plot of land with characteristic regional flora (pine trees, cork oaks, elm trees, strawberry trees, laurels, chestnut trees).
The manor, dating back to the 18th and 19th centuries, consists of 3 floors, with a gross built area of 1,700m2, and is distinguished by its imposing stone staircase, plastered walls, wooden floors and ceilings, frescoes, tiled coatings, and views over a large quadrangular courtyard. Highlighted is the property's entrance through a stone archway, a gift to the Tarouca family for their contribution to the construction of the Palace of Mafra.
The gardens and extensive woodland provide an idyllic setting for serene walks and moments of contemplation, along shaded avenues, ornamental fountains, and historical heritage (chapel dedicated to Santo Andre Avelino, from 1778, and the Chapel of Santa Maria Madalena, from the early 19th century). Located at the front of the property, the late 18th-century Chapel, magnificently restored, impresses with its tile panels and the elegance of its Baroque style, with details that evoke possible past connections to Freemasonry.
In the wings adjoining the historic manor, an area built in the 1990s currently houses the facilities of an association, with the potential to create a truly unique lodging experience, where comfort merges with historical splendor.
With a rich history and timeless beauty, this property has enormous potential for a tourism project, offering a truly memorable experience where the past and present converge to create unforgettable moments of refinement and beauty.
