Nineteenth Century Property

About the Property

Located at the entrance to the Serra da Estrela Natural Park, this historic property enchants with its late 19th-century house, commissioned by the Marquis of Gouveia as a gift for his wife. With a classic and imposing architecture, built in stone, the property is surrounded by a vast forest of 16 hectares, full of centuries-old oak and chestnut trees, 12 lakes, fountains and a chapel. The main house offers ample living spaces, two pantries, a dining room with capacity for 14 people and a wine cellar in the basement. In addition, it has two bathrooms, a bedroom and an office on the ground floor. The ground floor has three bathrooms, including a recently renovated one, six bedrooms, two dressing rooms and a small living room with a balcony. All bedrooms and living rooms have a fireplace. There is also an area reserved for employees on the second floor. The roof was completely renovated about 5 years ago. In addition to the main house, there are three other houses on the property. Casa dos Patos, an old rabbit hutch, has two en-suite bedrooms, a living room with kitchenette, bathroom, office and a porch. Built approximately 11 years ago. Casa da Cocheira, the former harness house, was converted into a 2 bedroom flat with two suites, kitchen, living room and balcony. Built about 8 years ago. The property also includes a chapel in excellent condition and an old caretaker’s house, with great potential for restoration. All houses are supplied by two water mines within the property, but are connected to the public supply network to ensure stable water pressure. Situated in Gouveia, on one of the highest points, the property offers stunning views of the surrounding valleys and mountains. It is part of the Serra da Estrela Natural Park, ensuring a unique natural environment. The property, with 14.5 hectares of walled forest, also includes approximately 1,200m2 of buildings, with the main house about 950m2 and the two tourist apartments about 80m2 each.

The Municipal Master Plan of Gouveia classifies the area as protected, allowing an increase of about 10% of the construction area within the walled area.
