In the emblematic city of Lamego, we find this distinctive property spread over the 3.3 hectares of land that comprise it, symbiotically aligned with the slope of the Mata do Santuário de Nossa Senhora dos Remédios. At Quinta de Arneirós, we can marvel at walking or driving along its stone sidewalks surrounded by granite walls, enjoying its verdant gardens, organic vegetable garden and orchard. The farm also has a small lake in addition to its lush swimming pool treated with Biosal and the heating system is being developed. Casa da Lenha, which is a granite stone house built in the 19th century, nestles on the slope of the hill, with a superb view from above, affectionately called Recanto dos Enamorados. This traditional house can serve several purposes. It is also adorned by a shed with a rustic porch and a wine press and various ancient items, a stable for the two companion horses and a changing room with a shower overlooking the pool. Currently used as a family home and to run a gardening and organic mushroom production company, the house, built in 2020, stands out for the choice of its layout on the property, which gives it excellent sun exposure and stunning views. The house consists of two floors. On the ground floor we find the social area and the services area. We are welcomed by the entrance hall, which is also a distribution hall, leading us to the living room, with a double-sided fireplace, which is in an open space with the kitchen. Next door, we have a rustic kitchen with a wood-burning oven and an imposing family dining table, so characteristic of this region of the country. On the opposite side, we have a service area, with a bathroom, office, closed garage for 2 cars, laundry room and wine cellar. On the first floor, we have three wonderful suites, all equipped with spacious and inviting balconies. The master suite also has a very functional closet. The chosen panel of neutral tones brings us a feeling of familiarity while calming and energizing us! Regarding home automation, the house is equipped with large tilt-and-turn windows, with triple glazing, solar filter and external electric laminated blinds, allowing perfect control of natural light. Its solar panels supply the sanitary water and electricity for the entire house. It has a heat pump, underfloor heating, air conditioning, video intercom and alarm with video surveillance, wireless network, automatic gates, automated irrigation, built-in appliances and two holes for water supply. After consulting the PDM of the Municipality of Lamego, it appears that the property may have different uses, namely in terms of tourism, agricultural exploration or simply for family use. The city of Lamego is well known for its peculiar sausages, namely ham, chorizo-moura and salpicão, for its wine, from rosé, to red wine, from sparkling wine to port wine, for its red-toned cherries. yellowish, for its fleshy chestnuts... in short, for the particular flavor that its lands give to vegetables. Its main celebration is the Festas de Nossa Senhora dos Remédios, usually between the 24th of August and the 8th of September. At the top of Santo Estêvão Hill, the sanctuary is currently an integral part of the city's panorama, to which it is linked by a scenographic staircase, with 686 steps. Since 1984, the Sanctuary of Nossa Senhora dos Remédios, including the staircase and park, has been classified as a Property of Public Interest, forming part of the National Heritage. Popular devotion in the place dates back to a chapel, with the invocation of Saint Stephen, built in 1361. In the 16th century, threatening ruin, it was demolished (1568), and the construction of a new temple began, on the initiative of the bishop of Lamego . An image of the Virgin and Child was deposited in the new hermitage. Over time, devotion to Saint Stephen diminished, being replaced by devotion to the Virgin. The devotion of those who turned to her in search of relief from illnesses gave rise, in turn, to devotion to Our Lady of Remedies. The current sanctuary was begun in 1750 and completed only in 1905. This ancient city has around 24,000 inhabitants (2021 census), with its main activities centered on services, commerce and agriculture. The latter represents an important source of wealth, coming mainly from the wine sector, since the municipality, like the other municipalities in the region, is integrated into the Douro Demarcated Region. In this city we find the secular one - Caves da Raposeira. The monumental and religious tourism sectors have been growing gradually, and it is in them that some potential is identified, with the municipality's vocation being recognized. The dynamics recorded are sufficient, although there may be improvements in this sector. This situation was reinforced with the completion of the A24, with this infrastructure being considered a determining factor in the attraction and demand for this region. The Higher School of Hospitality and Tourism, the Higher School of Education and the Higher School of Technology and Management have attracted young people from different regions of the country, who are enchanted by the magic of this city, with its monuments, historic streets and neighborhoods, its large number of emblazoned houses, fountains, parks and gardens, cruises and pillories, which surrounded by walking trails at different levels allow them to enjoy the natural beauty of this region and an unparalleled quality of life. The city enchants both national and international people – anyone who visits wants to return! It has also aroused the interest of several foreign families, who choose to make this place their new home. Allow yourself to discover this property and how transformative it can be!
