Quinta do Convento da Franqueira with 3.8 ha, swimming pool, terrace, garden and chapel in Barcelos, Braga.
This farmhouse was built in the mid-sixteenth century as franciscan monastery, with stones from the historic Faria Castle, one of the most important castles of Entre Douro and Minho.
The farm was fully restored in 1967 by the best craftsmen and with the best Portuguese materials. In the 1980s it was renewed again, being in excellent condition. This farm combines high standards of comfort with historical interest, in a charming setting of Minho, a true invitation to nature walks with panoramic views: to the north, the distant mountains of the Gerês National Park and the top of Monte da Franqueira, the Atlantic Ocean.
This farmhouse has great potential to be transformed into a boutique hotel, spa or divided into small family apartments. It currently operates in the housing tourism scheme.
The Convent, main building, has 1840 m2 of area, divided into two four bedroom residences and two apartments with one bedroom, which are a substantial source of income in the summer months. This farm has 5 hectares of land prepared to plant vineyards, 8 hectares of forest with pine and eucalyptus planted and one hectare with orchard, gardens, fountains and a swimming pool with an environment, allowing great privacy.
Several rooms, several bedrooms, living areas, are about 17 rooms of the farm, with more to finish. The guest rooms of the main house are furnished with antiques, original prints and paintings, as well as traditional Portuguese fabrics. Each room is a suite overlooking the garden.
The house also has attached a small chapel.
A large part of the property consists of a forest of pine, eucalyptus and wetland trees. The extensive gardens are filled with several unusual plants, with several sunny terraces.
About 200 meters from the house and behind a 17th-century fountain, the pool is filled with spring water, which flows from a 300-meter mine that pierces Monte da Franqueira. The view from the pool terrace is especially idyllic at sunrise and again at night, when the sun is already set behind the eucalyptus and night-goers fly over the pool.
The convent church, Bom Jesus do Monte, nowadays little used and generally open to the public on weekends, has a privileged visit of the choir gallery, which is connected to the living room on the first floor of the house.
Parking for four cars.
This farm is 50 kilometres from the centre of Porto and is close to the accesses to the A11, 5 kilometres from the centre of Barcelos, 45 kilometres from Francisco Sá Carneiro Airport and 55 kilometres from the Spanish border.
