Property description
This stunning farmhouse, whose history dates back to the early 20th century, is situated on a property of approximately 5 hectares and stands out for its unique and heritage-oriented character. The main house, completely renovated in 1967 by the renowned architect Vassalo Rosa, is developed over two floors, with a total area of approximately 400 m², and includes 7 habitable rooms. Highlights include magnificent 18th-century tile panels, a large kitchen, a dining room and a living room, both with high and ornate ceilings, as well as five bedrooms and an office.
The caretaker's house, also two stories high and composed of two wings, has five rooms, two kitchens and two bathrooms on the upper floor. On the lower floor there is a wine cellar with an oven, a storage room for agricultural implements and a garage for four vehicles.
Near the main house there is also a workshop, with a large kitchen area and emblematic large chimneys. The property also includes an animal shed, a well with a water tank fed by a spring, a courtyard, and a fresh, well-maintained garden with a vegetable garden and a fish pond.
The rest of the Quinta's rustic area is composed of numerous trees and pine trees, bordered by the Ribeira da Laje stream, benefiting from excellent sun exposure and panoramic views of the entire property.
Its cultural value is also noteworthy, as this farm served as a setting for the film "A Culpa" by António Vitorino de Almeida (1981).
Located in a very tranquil area, the property benefits from a privileged location, close to commercial areas and with good road access (IC19, CREL and A16), being a short distance from Lisbon, Oeiras and Cascais.
The origin of the village of Rio de Mouro is uncertain, although there are references dating back to the Middle Ages, with documentation from the 15th century relating to agricultural land lease agreements. In the first half of the 20th century, Rio de Mouro was a peaceful town in the municipality of Sintra, known for its good water and air quality, characterized as a rural parish marked by farms, vegetable gardens, vineyards, olive groves and orchards.
