8 bedroom farmhouse for sale

  Amazing Manor House with 1300 m2 of built area in the main building, a second house with 350m2 and a chapel, inserted in a Farm with 120 hectares. The main house, with 1300 m2 on two floors, was built in the middle of the last century, observing the construction techniques of Portuguese noble houses, and is in an impeccable state of conservation. Materials were used such as stone slabs recovered from churches and other manor houses, noble wood, Versailles-type paintings on the ceilings in the main halls, highlighting the special attention given to finishes, harmoniously incorporating extensive 17th century tile panels and 18th century, original stone interior arches from the 16th century, stone vaulted ceilings, 18th century fireplace stones and other pieces from France, Italy, Germany, Venice and Greece. The beautiful old Portuguese tiles are present in the interiors throughout the entire house, in an impressive harmony, and are the ex-libris of the building's interior. The whole House is a journey into the past, with the genuineness and harmony of the finishes perfectly recreating the environments of the old Portuguese manor houses. The solidity of the construction, the breadth of the areas, the integration and beauty of the finishes, allied to the modern comforts available, make the house an exceptional place to live with glamour. The plan of the house is in H, with two floors of approximately 650m2 each. There are two main entrances, one for each floor, one with access through the gardens, the other by a staircase adjacent to the car park. The house is surrounded by beautiful boxwood gardens and several plateaus with vegetation that form beautiful natural scenarios. It also has a huge main balcony and two adjoining balconies, at first floor level, overlooking the adjacent gardens and fields. The privacy and tranquility resulting from the size of the property and its integration into the landscape are remarkable. On the upper floor of the house are the main halls, such as the extensive entrance hall with painted ceilings, old stone slabs on the floor, tiled panels and an imposing stone staircase and tiled walls. From the hall you can access the huge Main Hall, with painted ceilings, old stone slab floors, fireplace with 18th century stone and magnificent old stone arches framing the various doors. From the main hall you can access the main balcony of the house, with a formidable view of the house gardens, countryside and Tapada de Mafra. Next is the imposing Dining Room with the same type of finish as the main hall and overlooking the pool and its supporting structure, with the pool lined with tiles by Manuel Cargaleiro. Next to the dining room is the large library/office, also with a fireplace and a large balcony, which connects to the main balcony. Shared bathroom, kitchen, pantry and servants' room with private bathroom complete this wing on the first floor. In the private wing of this floor there are also two large suites, one with a balcony connected to the main balcony of the house and two more interconnected bedrooms, with a bathroom. On the lower floor of the house, also with the main entrance hall and with the same type of finishing as the upper floor, there are two huge suites, with extraordinary decoration and finishes, with a predominance of stone, wood and tiles, combined in harmony and enormous quality and beauty. The halls on this floor are also impressive, with the huge hall with arches and the old library standing out as the privileged place for parties, due to the breadth and beauty of the rooms, which have access to a huge outdoor porch that continues the spaces already in oversized but cozy. With separate access through the parking yard, on this floor there is also a large cellar, storage areas, engine rooms and an excellent caretaker's house. The chapel is integrated in the gardens of the house and was also built using the techniques of the old Portuguese chapels. There is also a second building, rustic, with an area of approximately 350 square meters, on two floors, with housing, wine press, warehouses and old stalls for horses that can be easily modernized. The beautiful gardens surrounding the property were inspired by the gardens of European stately homes, with boxwood hedges integrated into elegant stone structures and exotic and autochthonous vegetation. Still in the vicinity of the main house there are several fantastic landscaped or forested plateaus, with pergolas, stone tanks, a riding arena, creating several environments of great quality and natural beauty. In the forest part of the property, with approximately 115 hectares, bordering in part with the Tapada de Mafra, there is an artificial lake with exceptional landscape framing, abundant afforestation of cedars and other ornamental trees. The part of the forest area made up of eucalyptus trees is being exploited by a specialized entity, which ensures the cleaning and conservation of the forests and paths of the estate. Located near the village of Gradil, the property is thirty minutes from Lisbon, with excellent access via highways. The property also benefits from its proximity to Mafra, with access to large commercial surfaces, quality restaurants and all the necessary services, as well as proximity to beaches, airfields and other entertainment and leisure facilities!
