Quinta da Serra’ is located at the foot of the Serra da Estrela, about 5 minutes from the town of Seia. It is a small farm with an area of 2,913 square metres, located in an urban area and consisting of two houses. One of the houses, the main one, has an implantation area of 169 m2 and a living area of 338 m2, since it has two floors and there is also an attic, with the same area, with incredible views of the Serra and transformed into an open space (studio/library) with 2 bedrooms, storage and 1 bathroom. It’s worth noting that the entire roof, duly insulated, has been newly built.

The great advantage of this Quinta is that it can optionally provide all the features, not only for actual residence or just for holidays and weekends, but also for tourist purposes, taking advantage of the great proximity of the Serra da Estrela and the panoply of snow sports and hiking, and the thousands and thousands of people (national and foreign) who visit the Serra every year.

We should emphasise that the following are part of the sale of the Quinta: The Main House, the Casa dos Caseiros, which is separate from the main house, with an Urban Article and an overall area of 122 m2, with 2 floors and a panoramic terrace, including 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, 1 kitchen and 1 living room, and with storage and a small cellar on the ground floor. This house is in need of restoration work, especially to make it more modern and comfortable.

The main house, inspired by the architectural lines of Raúl Lino and built entirely of granite, is also characterised by its generous size, particularly on the ground floor: it has three bedrooms, two of them en suite, plus a guest bathroom, a large living room with a wood burning stove, a large utility room and a garage. The first floor comprises a kitchen, three living rooms (one with a wood burning stove), a pantry, two bedrooms, a bathroom and a space for a winter garden or a living or working area. The attic, as already mentioned, has plenty of sunlight, as it has a living room with two large VE lux windows. The ceilings are entirely cement and the floors are cement and wood / tacos. The bathrooms have practically all been renovated and modernised. This house is ready to move into, with only minor painting required.

It is located in the centre of Portugal, at the foot of the Natural Park with views of the Serra da Estrela, where you can enjoy the various nature trails accessible all year round, as well as the beautiful natural lagoons distributed throughout the natural park and even practise snow sports in the ski resort during the winter.

To complement all these buildings, there are also a number of old support structures with a total area of approximately 135 square metres, including a dovecote, a shed with a tank for washing clothes, a large wood oven and other agricultural storage spaces. However, these structures were never registered and recorded in documents. All the other buildings and property have up-to-date documentation.

The property has always belonged to the same family, who use the house to spend their holidays and weekends. The main house underwent some refurbishment and remodelling work in 2015, particularly on the roof, as well as the bathrooms. It meets all the conditions and comforts for immediate habitation.

Situated in a very quiet and safe area, close to all amenities, including local shops, the market, pharmacy, schools, sports centres, cafés and restaurants, bank and post office.

As an investment and if the option is also partly or totally for tourism exploitation and profitability, it will certainly be an excellent investment and a beautiful business. With excellent access, around 1.5 hours from Coimbra and 2 hours from Oporto and the airport.

The maintenance of much of the originality of the house, referring to the cosy and imposing fireplaces, the old mill for processing grapes, the large rooms and outside true garden spaces.

Outside, there is the area surrounding the pool, somewhat distant from the houses, in order to offer a welcoming environment and great privacy. The beautiful saltwater pool, has a size of 6 X 12 m, letting itself involved by toilet, shower and compartment, and also by panoramic terraces all around, is also garnished with some forestation around it.

The property is fully equipped with water, electricity, septic tanks, in addition to the well with inexhaustible water, which feeds the pool and the entire irrigation system.

There are also a set of ruins on the farm, which can be reused in order to further leverage its tourism offer or for other types of activities.

The walls that surround the property, built in stone, were also totally recovered, keeping all its original features.

About 2.10 hours from Lisbon and the Humberto Delgado International Airport. (Ref. 1050-23).

The house at Quinta da Boavista has basically three construction dates.

1. The original house, the ’Casa do Feitor’ of the property called Quinta da Boavista, property of the Benedictine Order of the Convent of S. Francisco, with spatial typologies (relatively reduced compartments, ceiling height less than 3m) and constructive (exterior walls folded with 80cm thickness, wooden partitions or stakes in the interior) among others, that show that the date of its construction is in the XVIII century, and its use as a farmhouse.

2. Quinta da Boavista and the house were acquired by the 1st Viscount of Trevões, Emídio José Ló Ferreira at the end of the XIX century, who ordered the recovery and expansion works of the existing body, with the construction of the great glazed balcony to the East. The expansion was initiated by the Viscount in 1905 (as recorded in the decorative stone of the cornice), in the typology of ’Brazilian House’, with high ceilings and larger spans, walls in granite perpianho plastered, topped with pilasters, cornices and platbands in granite masonry. The compartments have more generous dimensions that end, to the South, in a party room with about 140m2 that opens to a balcony (veranda) in granite with balusters guards and staircase of honor, in granite masonry.

3. In 1931, the Quinta and the House are bought by Francisco António Teixeira, recently returned from Brazil, who finished the work (as can also be read in the decorative stone of the cornice), with the construction of the body (3) that will house the kitchen, storage, and the caretaker’s house.

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.

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 Sá Carneiro International Airport, 15 km from Lamego and 10 km from Resende. From Lisbon, we will always talk about 3 hours of travel (Refrª. 859-23)

It is a property with very interesting characteristics, in which quality and good taste have been the most important factors. The way this farm is organized, either by the multiple fruit trees it has, the organic vegetable garden, the annexes and their applications, the peace, the great accessibility, prevailing still mainly the privacy that the property offers us.

About 1.30 hours from Lisbon and the Humberto Delgado International Airport. (Ref. 958 -23).

Once upon a time there was a mansion where Memory and History walked hand in hand. A special place where dreams and fables meet and wander around, playing hide-and-seek, in secret gardens by a river.

A very elegantly designed mansion, well to the neoclassical taste, with privileged location and beauty, built in the 19th century, by the Baron of Urgeira, to be the home of his eldest daughter. Located within the city wall, in the front line facing the River Minho, its floodplain, and facing the Cathedral of Tui in neighboring Spain. Next to the mansion is the oldest door of the wall of Valença, the ’Porta da Gaviarra’, where walkers end the Portuguese ’Santiago Camino’.

The mansion is a set of 2 Urban Articles: the ’parent house’ (mansion) and another building (’the annex’), uninhabited, and attached to the mansion, and in need of works. At present, there is no direct passage to the ’parent house’ although it is very easy to do so. You can, however, have direct access to the larger garden even if you are not connected to the ’parent house’.

A mansion well suited to the taste of the time. Built in stone masonry, whose exterior walls, original to the house, are made of granite with great thickness. Richly worked iron guards on the balconies. The cornerstones, punches, cornices and frames of the openings are in finely worked granite. Composed of ground floor and two storeys, the mansion has a total of 7 bedrooms, spread over the 3 floors, 5 of which are ensuite. One of the bedrooms is on the ground floor (’the chaufeur’s room’), with its own bathroom. There are 2 bedrooms (ensuite) on the first floor and 4 bedrooms on the second floor (attic). As for bathrooms, it has a total of 6, one of which is a toilet. There is no central heating. The mansion is also equipped with charming and refined dining room and living room. There is also a garage, several storage rooms, a lounge on the ground floor, library, kitchen and romantic gardens.

The attached house (’annex’) consists of a ground floor and two other floors, with 5 ensuite rooms, spread over the several floors. It also has, on the ground floor, a pantry and a room. The roof has a concrete structure and is in good condition. It has central heating infrastructure that needs to be revised (electrical convectors).

Decoration and works carried out on the mansion (parent house):
In the second half of the 20th century, it underwent an important remodeling work: structure of pillars, beams and slabs including the structure of the roof.
All bay windows are new, made of high quality wood, with thick section and double glazing. Placed in 2018.

In the rooms there is parquet flooring in hardwood and in the bedrooms there is carpet.

Most divisions have been covered, very recently, with wallpaper of great quality and refinement (Versace, Laura Ashley, Elitis, and the famous Thibaut).
The wallpaper that lines the walls and ceiling of the living room, on the second floor, is in French toile de Jouy, and represents an 18th century party in Chantilly.
The living room has a fireplace topped by a large granite stone with a carved angel head and plant motifs adorn the angel’s face on the sides. This stone was removed from the ground floor (next to the garage) where it served as a lintel for a door. The fireplace in the dining room is made of marble, acquired in France, and is lined with three cast iron plates representing putti and plant motifs.

The terrace has a hydraulic mosaic floor, manufactured by hand, with a design inspired by the Italian palace from the film ’Leopard’ by Luchino Visconti.

Outside:
It has two gardens, one smaller next to the terrace with several camellia trees, a rhododendron and two magnolias.

The second garden has a high wall along the circulating path of Gaviarra, part of the old wall of the stronghold. Adorned with a large number of camellias, some of which are quite rare. There is also a rare example of a ’Bela Portuguesa’ rose created by a French botanist in the 19th century who lived in Lisbon where he directed the Botanical Gardens.

It’s European Cultural Heritage since 1987 and World Heritage in the French and Spanish section. The interest in this path, and its popularity, has been hugely growing, and is today more sought after by tourists and hikers than by devotees to Santiago.

The Valença Wall:

It is a jewel of military architecture (candidate for World Heritage by UNESCO), with a total length of 5.5 km. The buildings are located in the oldest part of the wall, that is, in the initial nucleus of the village, directly facing the River Minho, the emblematic Eiffel Bridge and the monumental city of Tuy, in Galicia. On the northern side of the fortress.

The entire wall of Valença was one of the first monuments in the country to be classified as a National Monument (as early as 1910).
The whole intramural village is also classified.

The entire intra-wall area has, already, all the modern infrastructure of cable TV and internet, natural gas, electricity and sanitation, a co-project of urban requalification carried out by famous Pritzker prize winner, Arch. Eduardo Souto de Moura.

The town of Valença:

In addition to its natural beauty and cultural heritage, Valença is situated in a strategic urban geographical location. Due to being in the center of seven cities with more than 100 thousand inhabitants, Valença is considered, by specialists in urban planning in Portugal and Spain, one of the ’Potential Cities’ in the northwest of the Peninsula. With four international airports close by and served by motorway to all cities, Valença is also an important station on the Porto-Vigo railway line, as well as a crossing point for the projected high-speed line.

’Quinta das Camélias’, historic property from the beginning of the 19th century (1810), located in the Sintra National Park, in a privileged area in São Pedro de Sintra, in the emblematic town of Sintra, which UNESCO has classified as a World Heritage Site.
This farm with 8260 m2 is located in a place of enormous natural beauty, with water running through the rocks of natural springs giving rise to small lakes, full of centenary trees and a vegetation so diverse that only in Sintra is found.

With Request for Prior Information in the final appraisal phase, the farm will consist of 2 distinct areas, separated by a path, this being one of its added values:
1) the area of the palace complex and secondary body, with a gross construction area of 1086 m2 (useful area: 980 m2);
2) highlight of the area that is currently used as a garage in a detached house with garden and private pool with a gross construction area of 160 m2 (useful area: 132 m2).

At the moment we find several constructions on this farm, with the main building deserving the most emphasis, a palace dating from 1810 filled with tiles, numerous details in stone and which is in a state of abandonment and in need of general recovery works. Comprising a basement with a bedroom, bathroom, kitchen and pantry. The first floor consists of a hall, two bedrooms, living room, kitchen and two bathrooms. The second floor comprises six bedrooms, three bathrooms and an office. The third floor has two bedrooms and two bathrooms. This main building is connected to a secondary body, which is proposed to be demolished and replaced by a current building camouflaged in the beautiful garden that characterizes the landscape. Noteworthy are the impressive views from the palace to the immensity of the landscape.
Next to the palace, we also find a small chapel and a fabulous glass garden greenhouse.
At one end of the property, we find another building in poor condition, consisting of 2 floors with a cellar in the basement and ample space on the top floor.

The garden, as already mentioned, is composed of a very diverse vegetation, characteristic of Sintra, where camellias, various exotic plants such as Adam’s ribs, among many other species, prevail. There is then an area of forest with extraordinary, secular trees that ends in a majestic amphitheater.

Opposite but separated by the public path, we find the garage and another house (in ruins), with a private patio and a water reservoir (capacity of 763 m3).

28 km from Lisbon.

House of Francisco Solano de Abreu
Old residential house, over 200 years old, located in the historic center of the city of Abrantes.
With 710m2 of covered area and 100m2 of land, this house has 27 rooms spread over 2 floors.

The ground floor has 4 independent entrances from the outside. The main entrance to the house is through a large door that gives access to the entrance hall with a stone slab floor. Through the hall we also have access to the other rooms on the ground floor. It is worth highlighting the rooms used for a banking institution that operated in the house until the 1970s, a wine cellar with a floor made of slate and granite slabs and the old rooms where a police station also operated.

On the upper floor, the rooms are very spacious with shirt-skirted ceilings and wooden floors. It is on this floor that the social area of the house was located, with the bedrooms, bathrooms, living rooms and kitchen. This floor also gives access to the garden with a cistern from the Arab or Roman era, appearing in the first inventory of cisterns in the city of Abrantes in 1811.

There is also a garage with capacity for two vehicles.

The building retains the original architectural features that could be a great asset in restoring the interior of the house.
The house’s baseboards are mostly covered in tiles from the 18th and 19th centuries.
The facade as well as the entire exterior of the building were completely restored, double-glazed PVC windows and fire-retardant doors were installed, the roof of the house was also rehabilitated with thermal insulation.
The interior needs restoration work so that it can be inhabited.

Located in the historic center, next to the São Vicente church and the São Pedro Theater, the Francisco Solano de Abreu house is also very close to the Castle, which is approximately 100 meters away.

Dr. Francisco Solano de Abreu was born in this house in 1858, being recognized as one of the great benefactors of the city of Abrantes.
He founded around 3 newspapers and belonged to the management bodies of Montepio Abrantino Soares Mendes, where he created a private pharmacy, contributing a large amount himself for this purpose. In 1905 he founded the Abrantes Agricultural Union, of which he was president. He was the provider of the Santa Casa da Misericórdia for many years, creating the ’bank’ at the Hospital do Salvador, which depended on it, and building the operating room, maternity ward and other facilities. He also helped found the ’Soup of the Poor’.
In 1908 he was elected president of the Chamber of Abrantes.
In honor of Francisco Solano de Abreu, a secondary school and an avenue in the city of Abrantes were named after him.
