The interior is defined by handcrafted cane ceilings, whitewashed walls and natural Santa Catarina terracotta stone floors. The kitchen preserves its traditional character, operating as a functional space integrated into the home's original identity. Custom-crafted Siberian larch timber windows equipped with double glazing and burglar-resistant safety glass secure the main living areas.
The ground floor includes a master bedroom with an ensuite bathroom alongside a guest bedroom and a dedicated guest bathroom.
The estate expands beyond the main residence to include an independent guest house and a separate guest apartment. These additional structures provide distinct living spaces while maintaining the architectural continuity of the property, characterized by original handmade
roof tiles.
The exterior grounds support a self-sustaining lifestyle with a private vineyard that produces up to 350 liters of organic red Touriga wine annually, alongside olive trees yielding up to 60 liters of organic olive oil. A Mediterranean pine-lined avenue leads to the main house and its surrounding terraces. Outdoor amenities include a 12.5 x 5.5 m salt swimming pool and a private lake known locally as a barragem.
The property's infrastructure is supported by three boreholes - one dedicated to the house and pool supply, and two for agricultural irrigation - as well as a 4.5 kW solar system, grid electricity and a water softening system.
