Description
Ang10330.... - 18th century manor house with chapel in the North of Portugal ordered to be built by D. José Freire da Costa by order of his uncle D. Frei Manuel da Cruz, bishop of Maranhão and Mariana; The house, in its quadrangular shape with an Interior Courtyard, has the Chapel as the epicenter of the entire building, reflecting in general and in detail the aesthetics of the construction of the Cistercian Order.... On the ground floor, adjacent to the Chapel, we find the Wine Cellar , the Lagar and an imposing kitchen, and on a lower floor there are several stores allocated to the storage of agricultural production and implements. Built at a high elevation, with the facade facing west, the manor enjoys a privileged view over the surrounding area. The most upscale residential area is located on the 1st floor and has a very large construction area. The living area located on the ground floor is also large. With a completely walled and fenced perimeter, a land area of almost 1 hectare, an independent house for caretakers and a water supply from its own mine, the manor house is also a small farm, offering the conditions to lend itself to a variety of uses, both residential and /or business. Served by several motorways and expressways, travel to any point in the region is quick and safe. Its proximity to cities such as Porto, Penafiel, Paços de Ferreira, Vizela, Felgueiras, Guimarães or Braga, among others in Douro, Minho and even Trás-os-Montes, enhances the setting of the house and the desire to go out to “ get to know Portugal”.
