Located in a sunny valley in Monte Gordo, Vila Franca de Xira, Quinta da Gaivota is a unique property where history, nature, and tranquility come together in perfect harmony.

A house with history and identity

The residential component consists of a historic building formed by the union of two structures about 150 years old, later connected through an intervention in 2007 that added approximately 55 m² of new construction.

The original architecture is distinguished by its exterior walls, which are 80 to 90 centimeters thick, a testament to the solidity and construction techniques of another era, giving the building a very distinctive character and identity.

The residence spans a basement, ground floor, and first floor, with a built area of approximately 415 m², complemented by a patio/courtyard of 355 m².

A natural heritage of rare diversity

The rustic area of the property extends over 17,355 m², distributed across different natural and agricultural environments:

- 4,000 m² of land with stone pines and cork oaks;

- 260 m² dedicated to a vegetable garden.

The property also features various fruit trees, including orange, lemon, plum, pomegranate, and peach trees, providing a natural environment and a special connection to the land.

The interior paths, bordered and paved with stone and decorated with statues, blend harmoniously into the landscape, enhancing circulation and the discovery of the estate’s different spaces.

Infrastructure and support for agricultural activity

Privacy, accessibility, and surroundings

The estate has a privileged layout, bordering on three sides paved municipal roads with public lighting: Estrada de António Adalberto Simões Ferreira, Estrada da Serralheira, and Estrada do Barrão.

Two sides are enclosed by cement block walls approximately 1.80 meters high, while the others are protected by plastic-coated metal mesh fencing, 1.65 meters high.

A small paradise of tranquility, history, and nature.
