Historic Estate With Private Chapel, Minutes From Porto

I present to you an extraordinary historic estate located in Águas Santas, in the municipality of Maia, just a few minutes from Porto. Built in 1719, this remarkable property with more than 300 years of history combines grandeur, authenticity, and a truly unique setting.

The main manor house, with approximately 600 m², features an elegant U-shaped layout and noble architectural design, set on a fully walled plot of 5,390 m², ensuring privacy and exclusivity.

Inside, the property offers five bedrooms and five bathrooms, distributed across spacious rooms full of character. The house preserves the typical layout of the period, with four distinct living areas — a dining room, living room, music room, and library — reflecting the aristocratic lifestyle of the 18th century. Original elements such as exposed stone walls, traditional Portuguese tiles, solid wood flooring, and high ceilings enhance the property’s historic charm.

On the ground floor there is also a laundry area and a self-contained space prepared for local accommodation, comprising two bedrooms, a living room, and a bathroom, with independent access.

The historic gardens, carefully preserved, feature centenary trees and one of the oldest boxwood gardens in the country.

The estate also includes a private Baroque chapel of approximately 60 m², highlighted by an impressive 18th-century gilded wood altar dedicated to Our Lady of Piety. The chapel is still in use today and serves as a beautiful setting for weddings and other religious ceremonies.

Complementing its residential character, the estate is also prepared for events, featuring a covered marquee with capacity for around 220 guests, supported by an annex with a fully equipped kitchen, reception area, sanitary facilities, and parking.

With excellent road access and close proximity to Porto, Maia, and Francisco Sá Carneiro Airport, this property offers exceptional potential for private residence, rural tourism, or event hosting.
