Built in the 18th century, it is a manor house with a coat of arms, typical of Portuguese architecture of the time.
The main access is via an external staircase that leads to the main door, located on the upper floor. Above this, the coat of arms of the first owners stands out.
Small garden in front of the house, maintaining the connection between architecture and nature, as was common in the 18th century.
The estate is delimited by a wall, with a gate decorated with sculpted elements and pinnacles, giving a distinct touch to the entrance.
Tranquil surrounding space, with trees that embellish the place and create a welcoming atmosphere.
Considered a Property of Municipal Interest since 1982, being a point of interest for those who appreciate history and heritage.
