18th-Century Estate, Alvados, Leiria

Set on approximately 40,000 sqm of land, this remarkable estate in Alvados combines history, authenticity and an exceptional natural setting, framed by the magnificent landscapes of the Aire and Candeeiros Mountains.

Dating back to the early 18th century, the estate comprises a collection of traditional buildings totalling approximately 2,000 sqm. The ruins of the main house, dating from 1725, form the historic heart of the property, alongside several stone agricultural structures that reflect the different periods, uses and ways of life that have shaped the estate over nearly three centuries.

Among its most distinctive architectural features are vaulted galleries, stone arches and columns, traditional presses, a wood-fired oven and a cistern, together with other structures that preserve the character and heritage of the property.

The predominantly flat terrain, combined with the scale of the estate and the diversity of its existing buildings, provides an exceptional foundation for a restoration project that blends contemporary architecture and modern comfort while respecting the identity of the site.

With its scale, history and unique configuration, this Alvados estate is ideally suited to a quiet luxury project, whether as a boutique hotel, a slow-living retreat or an exceptional private residence, always in harmony with its authentic character and natural surroundings.

Nearby are some of the most emblematic landmarks of the Serras de Aire e Candeeiros Natural Park, including the Alvados Caves, Santo António Caves and Mira de Aire Caves, as well as Fórnea, walking trails, viewpoints and striking limestone landscapes. Porto de Mós, with its castle and historic heritage, completes a region rich in nature, culture and authentic local experiences, just 1.5 hours from Lisbon.
