Among country estates for sale near Crato, this €990,000 Baroque property offers an appealing base for buyers seeking an equestrian lifestyle. The estate extends across approximately 7.6 hectares of enclosed private land and includes stables and two horse boxes. Its scale provides space for enjoying horses, countryside pursuits and a more self-contained rural routine, subject to suitable management and approvals. The six-bedroom property is centred on a historic manor house dating from around 1750. Renovation completed in 2015 has helped preserve the building’s period appeal while supporting modern residential use. A vaulted entrance gate opens into a secluded estate protected by a stone wall more than 3 metres high. The manor’s 250 m² construction area contains approximately 195 m² of living accommodation. Five bathrooms, three garages and a separate one-bedroom gardener’s house add practical flexibility. A grand hall with high ceilings introduces the formal interior. The lounge and living room include traditional wood-burning tiled stoves that complement the Baroque atmosphere. A library could serve as a home office, study or relaxing retreat after time outdoors. The fitted rustic kitchen is equipped for everyday family living and entertaining. Outside, two richly decorated swimming pools offer a luxurious alternative to riding and rural activities. The grounds also include a fountain, Roman cistern, orchard, olive trees and landscaped garden areas. A well, borehole, cistern, mains electricity and septic tank support the estate’s rural infrastructure. The property stands at the foot of the Serra de São Mamede mountains, where the landscape supports hiking, bird watching and nature exploration. Seasonal streams, a river and winter or spring cascades add interest to the surrounding environment. Crato is just 3 km away, making local access more convenient than many remote rural estates.
