Quinta in Barroselas – Excellent Rehabilitation Potential

This estate is located in Barroselas, set within a peaceful rural environment, ideal for those seeking a rehabilitation project with character and strong appreciation potential. With a total area of approximately 16,769 m², it is a spacious property offering excellent privacy and open views, providing multiple development possibilities, from a private residence to a tourism or agricultural project.

Main features:
The property consists of several land registry articles, with emphasis on the mixed urban article of 3,510 m². Within this area stands a traditional stone construction typical of the region, preserving the charm of the old Minho architecture. The building is distributed over three floors, with the ground floor comprising storage and cellar areas, and the first and second floors intended for residential use.

Outside, the property stands out for its natural richness and agricultural diversity, including olive trees, orange groves, chestnut trees, and various other fruit trees. It also benefits from three water wells, a natural spring (mine), and a stone tank used for water storage, supplied directly by the wells.

Historical curiosities:
The current residential structure develops around an ancient granite core, likely the original nucleus of the house. Its architectural configuration—featuring original access to the main floor via an exterior staircase and balcony—reflects traditional manor-style construction.

Over the centuries, the dwelling has been expanded while preserving traditional building elements and the authenticity of its original design. The varying wall thicknesses, thicker on the lower floor and progressively lighter on the upper levels, highlight ancient construction techniques.

There is also reference to the existence of a former chapel near the pathway within the property, reinforcing its historical context and suggesting a possible religious or manor-related significance in the region.

Inside the current construction, a stone engraved with the date 1231 can be found, suggesting very early occupation of the site.
