A historic property with a Baroque manor house set on a fully walled farm spanning 7.6 hectares. This property was an important home for friars of the Order of Malta, who found it an ideal refuge. The Romans also passed through these lands, and it is said to have been home to an important Roman villa due to the abundance of water, evidenced by the numerous imposing fountains and tanks found there. These were used for centuries and later embellished by the friars with Baroque motifs, maintaining their water channels and a large Roman cistern. The 250m2 manor house comprises: - Hall; - 5 bedrooms; - 2 living rooms; - Kitchen; - Library; - Chapel.
Outside the manor house, surrounding the residential area, there is an extensive lawned garden with an old building that has been fully restored and converted into a garage, stables, and storage space. Note that the doorframes of these rooms are medieval. The farm is fully walled and private, with four gates, two of them richly decorated, providing access to the fountain garden and cistern. The Baroque fountains are a testament to the fertility of the soil and the abundance of water, making this property unique.
This fantastic property is located approximately 15 km from the city of Portalegre and 5 km from the historic town of Crato, where it has all essential services. The future reservoir of the Pisão dam will be very close to this property.
