Fantastic Property In Chaves

Just eight kilometres from Chaves lies the historic and notable village of Casas Novas, renowned for its emblematic manor houses, solar homes, estates and other significant cultural points of interest. This area contains numerous remains of Roman occupation and Castro culture. Quinta do Souto is a noteworthy example of an agricultural settlement and is one of the oldest residential nuclei of the village, which is why it is classified as a Property of Municipal Interest. The property is exempt from IMI (municipal property tax) for life. Situated on the square of the Chapel of São Bernardino de Sena and converted into high-comfort accommodation, it enjoys an excellent location for discovering a Trás-os-Montes region rich in thermal tourism (Chaves and Vidago spas), gastronomy, leisure (Vidago Golf and Chaves Casino) and authentic traditions.
The estate comprises several fully restored buildings that preserve the spirit of traditional construction while offering contemporary comfort. The current layout provides accommodation in five suites and an independent one-bedroom apartment (T1) separate from the main building, with a total area of 43.74 m2 and direct access to a generous 27.76 m2 terrace with magnificent views. The exterior areas include communal and social spaces, a dining area of 45.70 m2 with a barbecue and a pantry support area of 14.40 m2, and an extensive garden with a swimming pool and poolhouse facilities.
Covering approximately 5 hectares, the quinta includes woodland areas of poplar grove and pine under a coppice regime, featuring maritime pine, cork oak, oak, eucalyptus and strawberry tree, among other species. There is production of tree nuts (hazelnuts and chestnuts): around 600 hazel trees of various ages are planted, the oldest about five years old. There are approximately 25 productive chestnut trees, with enhancement of the property among the main objectives and the possibility of expanding the planting of these species. The estate has two water springs, three irrigation tanks, a lake with a 10-metre mouth and a well.
The quinta provides a pleasant leisure and recreational space, served by tracks that allow peaceful walks, bicycle rides or simple moments of relaxation. Maintenance is easy through the use of small machinery. This wonderful estate benefits from an excellent location and quick access, being only two kilometres from the A24 exit.
