2 Luxury 6 or more Bedrooms Used, in Castelo Branco

A 400-hectare property located in Malpica do Tejo, around 15 minutes from the A23 motorway, offering excellent access.

An excellent property for cattle breeding and farming.

With a mostly flat slope, it is separated by a municipal road, but fully fenced, with the benefit of being crossed by a water line.

The farmhouse and stables cover 280 hectares, with an electricity connection, water from an artesian borehole, several wells and five dams, the largest of which supplies around 100 hectares of irrigated land.

There is also an area of floodplain for crops suitable for irrigation, estimated at around 100 hectares.

There are also clusters of cork oaks and holm oaks.

The cork oak forest produces 132.210 kg of high-quality cork in a single run. The next cork harvest will take place in 2025.

In terms of infrastructure, the estate has a main house, five staff houses, a winery, a cheese factory and an oven.

There are agricultural warehouses for animals, storage for animal feed and agricultural machinery, a workshop and other outbuildings.

All the buildings are made of schist and the houses will need maintenance work and minor restoration.

The property is part of a limited company, which will be an integral part of the business.

The Herdade das Ganadarias, with an area of almost 400 hectares, is located near the city of Castelo Branco, in the Beira Interior region, about 15 minutes from the district capital. The property is part of a company that operates it, and this company will be included in the transaction, which will greatly benefit the parties involved from a tax perspective. It is a livestock estate, primarily dedicated to the breeding and raising of cattle and sheep. It has excellent access. The reason for the sale is the advanced age of the owners and the lack of interested successors.

The property is morphologically flat and slightly undulating. It is divided by a municipal road, with the side containing the buildings and stables covering 280 hectares and the other part approximately 120 hectares. It is fully fenced and partitioned. It has electric power and water from an artesian well, wells, and 5 ponds, one in each enclosure. One of the larger ponds can support nearly 100 hectares of irrigated land that can be prepared. It is crossed by a water line. There is a notable area of lowland suitable for irrigated crops, estimated at about 100 hectares. There are also clusters with areas of cork oak and holm oak. The cork oak forest produces 9,000 arrobas of high-quality cork in a single harvest. The next cork harvest is scheduled for 2025.

In terms of infrastructure, the estate has a main house, five houses for employees, a winery, a dairy, and an oven. There are agricultural warehouses for animals, storage of animal feed and agricultural machinery, a workshop, and other outbuildings. All buildings are made of schist and masonry. The houses will naturally need some conservation work, minor restorations, and comfort improvements.

Additionally, the estate has electricity with its own transformer station, natural springs, and a water line that makes it possible to increase the irrigated area of the estate. Given its proximity to Castelo Branco, about 15 minutes from the A23, and the good accessibility it enjoys, it could always be destined for a large-scale agro-tourism unit, based on the vast existing urban construction area.
