Filhadeira Estate — 9.2 hectares, 800 meters of riverfront and a history rooted in rural life In Lavacolhos, in the municipality of Fundão, you will find this estate with 92,000 m² of land, where nature, stone buildings and rural tradition come together. Known for years as Quinta da Filhadeira, the property was dedicated to cheese production, at one point housing 260 goats whose milk was used in the production of its cheeses. It also welcomed schools and visitors through the "Be a Shepherd for 1 Day" program, providing experiences of contact with animals and rural knowledge. A history that could inspire a new project in rural tourism, agritourism or educational farm. A home with space and character The main residence is distributed across two floors, preserving the entire original lower section in stone: • Ground floor: two bedrooms, bathroom, living and dining room and kitchen. • Upper floor: three bedrooms, room with fireplace, a second living area and a spacious recovery space. • In the lower section there are also two spaces designated for wine cellar and storage. The house has water and electricity from the public network, combining the character of traditional construction with the essential comforts for daily living. Water, nature and 800 meters of riverfront The extensive riverfront is one of the major attractions of the property. By the water, a mill and a stone house add character to the setting and possibilities for enhancing the existing heritage. The estate has two springs, a well and a tank, as well as water pumping from the river through a system powered by solar energy, with water and irrigation distributed throughout the property. On the land there are 100 olive trees already in production, with plans to plant a further 150 olive trees of the Galega variety. There is also a greenhouse of 10 × 4 meters, with steel structure and alveolar fiber panel covering, to complement agricultural activity. Structures for production and rural experiences In the middle of the land is the animal area, with a spacious interior space for shelter. Currently, the estate houses 15 sheep, maintaining the structures linked to its agricultural and livestock past. A stone building integrates the equipped cheese-making facility, milking area and curing room, with also a space for events. This ensemble provides a starting point for those wishing to explore the connection between local production, learning and rural experiences. Potential for a new chapter Given the size of the land, the presence of water, the various buildings and its history, this estate presents potential for different projects: • Rural tourism and agritourism, with experiences linked to the life of the estate. • Recovery of the "Be a Shepherd for 1 Day" concept, for schools, families and groups. • Activities and workshops linked to cheese, the olive grove and local traditions. • Retreats and small events in contact with nature. • Own residence combined with an agricultural project. New uses and the recovery of buildings will depend on their respective viability and applicable licensing.
