Chamusca, Braga

The Palcio de So Pedro, dating from 1861, is a historical gem located in the town of Chamusca, representing an architectural and cultural landmark that has remained in the same family to this day. With a gross private area of 1, 383 m, spread over three floors, the palace houses 21 bedrooms, as well as several other rooms and spaces that recall the splendor of bygone eras. On the second floor, we find a variety of rooms decorated with frescoes on the walls, painted panels and ornate ceilings in wood or stucco, with moldings so detailed that they capture the visitors attention. This floor also houses the kitchen, bedrooms, bathrooms, and an impressive 4.5-meter-high library that stretches across three halls, evoking the grandeur of the past. Three separate fireplaces, along with two stoves, add charm and warmth to the rooms. On the second floor, as well as more bedrooms and bathrooms, there is a terrace with stunning views over the lezria and the River Tagus, offering a setting of tranquillity and natural beauty. The top floor, comprising the attic, was formerly used for workers accommodation. The property retains its original charm, with the first two floors featuring high ceilings and wide plank floors in good condition. Most of the windows, while preserving the original design, have been modernized with PVC and double glazing. Outside, the 4, 873.5 m property includes a small chapel, which plays an important role during the Fogarus procession in Holy Week. The garden is adorned with benches and flowerbeds decorated with Delft tiles, which an Italian craftsman took to Antwerp and from there to Europe. and an ancient noria covered with a vibrant bougainvillea, which when in bloom, colors the space. There is also a pond, which is thought to have been intended for ducks, but which can be converted into a large swimming pool, ideal for the hot Ribatejo days. The property also has several storage rooms, a barbecue room, warehouses, some of which have already been restored, and a covered riding arena. One of the buildings used to house what is believed to have been Portugals first generator, which is currently incomplete. With all these features, the Palcio de So Pedro can be transformed into a dream home for a family or seen as a promising investment, with all the conditions to become a charming hotel. Being around 5 km from the town of Goleg, known for its equestrian activities, it could easily be made profitable by offering quality accommodation for horses and riders. Santarm is 22.5 km away and Lisbon is 91 km away. This palace is in an ARU (urban rehabilitation area) and could benefit from economic benefits in the event of rehabilitation work, essentially aimed at providing it with the comforts of today.
