The 'Quinta do Jardim Botânico e do Palácio do Sec. Xix' is located in Portugal, near Badajoz / Spain and the city of Elvas (Unesco World Heritage Site). The estate covers around 9 hectares (90,000 m2). 20 minutes from the Spanish airport, which has flights to Lisbon, Madrid, Seville and Barcelona. 10 minutes from the A6 motorway, which connects to the Spanish and Portuguese capitals (Madrid and Lisbon).
It's worth mentioning that the small French architectural palace, built by the Portuguese nobility around 1880, has a construction area of 1,200 square metres and comprises: four magnificent halls and living rooms, eight bedrooms, eight bathrooms, a functional and fully-equipped kitchen, an office, a basement, a wine cellar and a lift between the floors. We highlight the beautiful ceilings, stained glass windows, solid wood, lush staircases and halls, double glazing, central heating, terraces, balconies with incredible views of the garden, houses distributed throughout the estate, close proximity to the hospital, public services and banks.
The ceilings are high and carved, the wooden floors stretching across the entire pavement of a house furnished with very generous spaces and plenty of sunlight.
The palace was completed in 1887 and renovated in 1916, undergoing painstaking and rigorous restoration work in 2010. It is thus surrounded by the immensity of the Forestier Botanical Garden, made up of countless centenary and leafy trees of rare typology and quality, but of indescribable beauty, opening up huge, very harmonious clearings of grassy spaces.
The water lakes, the canals, the stone benches, the statues, the huge and fabulous swimming pool, the immense privacy that embraces this manor house, give it its rare and passionate beauty.
In another wing of the estate, we find the beautiful support houses, the riding arena and the 30 boxes to house the respective top competition horses. Including the walker, a jumping ring for horses, 2 independent houses and land for cultivation.
This is a secular property of a rare and noble nature, optimally located and of indescribable beauty. (Ref. Fg330).
