Ponte de Lima Homestead - 1.750.000€

---

This lot of land, vineyards and its constructions is 5 km from Ponte the Lima. This town is the oldest in Portugal, and its name comes from the medieval bridge (’Ponte’) that crosses the river that flows next to the town, the Lima. Some pics are attached.

The official name of the manor is ’Quinta do Bom Gosto’ (Good Taste Farm) and dates back to 1937. Its story and style is published in a thesis of architecture (’Memory and Transformation - the Good Taste Farm’), and in the ’Best Portuguese Manors’ book, as examples. Today, this beautiful building could use a bit of love. Maybe, with high probability, the fact that the famous pilgrimage Caminho de Santiago is contiguous to the estate, will bring it fortune soon.

It presents an opportunity to develop a manor house for private residence or, for example, a boutique hotel with 20 en-suites in one of the most beautiful regions in Portugal with high demand, occupancy rates, and prices. To accelerate and secure a development, a concept already exists by a renowned local architect, well aware of the City Hall specificities. 

Considering the building and the 600 sqm of agricultural sheds and ruins, it is possible to elevate the livable space to 1.544 sqm. This can permit 20 luxury en-suites with 40m2 each.

With 9 ha of land, you can add motivation with its well kept 10 year old vineyards, spread across 7.5 ha. The varieties are local Loureiro and Vinhão, originating a delicious ’vinho verde’ - this is the best type of wine to savor with seafood and fish. Till recently was marketed by the Winery of Ponte de Lima.

The whole estate is walled with granite, and the main entrance gate is stone craftsmanship. 

Finally, it is 5 km distant from the center of Ponte de Lima, even less from the A3 highway, 40km from Galiza / Spain, and 70 km from Porto, the ’capital’ of the North.
