Historic Mansion For Sale in Gradiz, Viseu Portugal

This house was built in the 1600's as a fortified hunting lodge "Solar" and has been in the hands of the same family ever since. Regretfully, changed circumstances force the sale of this property and the adjoining orchards and gardens.

This house was built in the 1600's as a fortified hunting lodge "Solar" and has been in the hands of the same family ever since. Regretfully, changed circumstances force the sale of this property and the adjoining orchards and gardens. Located in the stone built village of Gradiz, 3km from the town of Aguiar da Beira and close to the beautiful market city of Viseu, this house is built out of handhewn granite blocks. It features hand-painted cielings in the reception rooms and has many bedrooms. The walls and roof (new) are in good conditon, but having been closed for many years the house requires attention.

The bottom floor has many rooms and cellars for the storage of wine and cereals, from the days when the house was at the heart of a vast farm. The house is surrounded by the small traditional village of Gradiz and the surroundings are forested and mountainous with much fishing and hunting. Adjoining the house are the formal gardens (in need of much attention/pruning) and orchards, planted with many exotic african and n. american species in centuries past. The Orchard is watered by a natural spring, which in the old days fed an aqueduct to the main house.

It would make a wonderful boutique hotel, artists studio/school, hunting lodge or a large family home. The house bears the armorial markings of the family. The house has substantial lands including some parcels in the village centre, near the church. Each floor has approx 500m2. The vineyards and fields are approx 25,000m2. The orchards have 4000m2 and formal gardens and house lands are aprox 4,000m2. There are some separate parcels of land for development sold separately.

A Government historic house preservation grant can be applied for. The house was the principal house of the district, and is known as the "Solar de Gradiz".
