XIX CENTURY HOUSE

XIX Century Manorhouse is a historic estate set across 13 hectares above the Águeda river valley, where landscape and architecture form a single composition. The main residence carries the cadence of early twentieth century design, with frescoed ceilings, hand-painted tiles and high, dignified proportions that define its presence. Arriving through mature grounds, the estate reveals itself gradually, offering privacy and scale without excess. It is heritage anchored in land.

The principal house is arranged over two floors, with nine bedrooms and five bathrooms unfolding through a sequence of reception rooms, salons and more intimate quarters. Fireplaces ground the interiors in winter, while terraces and a cloister-like courtyard introduce a quieter, contemplative dimension. Beyond the main residence, a secondary house of approximately 200 sqm and a separate staff house extend the estate’s flexibility, creating scope for guests, multi-generational living or a discreet hospitality vision.

Outdoors, woodland, gardens and open land frame wide valley views, while the legal structure of multiple urban and rural plots offers unusual long-term optionality. Further outbuildings remain subject to restoration potential, reinforcing the estate’s layered character. Located within reach of Aveiro, Coimbra and around one hour from Porto airport, this is a heritage estate defined not only by architecture, but by the continuity of land and legacy.
