About this property
This stunning Manor House, located in Mafra, is inspired by 18th-century architectural style. It is truly a magnificent architectural gem.
With a total area of 120 hectares, the Manor House boasts a private gross area of 1,311 sq m and a total construction area of 1,579 sq m, including a chapel, various support buildings, and an expansive wooded area.
The construction of the residence, dating back to the mid-20th century, was inspired by the century-old homes of Portugal’s noble families.
