Farms and Estates Used, in Coimbra, Taveiro, Ameal e Arzila, with Swimming Pool

The ’Quinta do Eirado’ is located in the village of Taveiro, in the municipality of Coimbra, with its main address at Rua Eng.º Júlio Araújo Vieira, no. 6. It comprises a main house, various complementary buildings, and the estate land. The three urban parcels that make up the property have a covered area of 945 m² and an uncovered area of 8,960 m². The rustic parcel, corresponding to the estate land, which is designated for development, has an area of 28,000 m².

Favorably located with good access, the property is a short distance from the village’s main services and 7 km from the city of Coimbra, accessible via the A31. From an access and mobility standpoint, Quinta do Eirado is located 1.4 km from the A1 junction (Lisbon/Porto), 8 km from Coimbra B Railway Station (North Line), 1.2 km from the Taveiro Industrial Park, 6.1 km from the General Hospital (Covões), and 11 km from the Pediatric Hospital of Coimbra, the Coimbra University Hospitals, and the University of Coimbra itself.

With classic architectural design, the house has always been a family residence, maintaining nearly the original layout, finishes, and furnishings. It served as a permanent residence until the passing of the family matriarch in 2022 and is still regularly visited by her descendants.

The main house comprises the ground floor, first floor, and attic, with a gross residential construction area of 453 m² per floor, a porch area of 37 m² on the ground floor, and an open balcony of 37 m² on the first floor. The ground floor consists of two entrance halls, an office, a dining room, three bedrooms, a laundry room, a kitchen, a wine cellar, two storage rooms, a bathroom, and a barn. The first floor includes seven bedrooms, two living rooms, one hall, and three bathrooms.

As annexes to the main house, there is also a swimming pool, a small masonry playhouse (in need of significant renovation), an autonomous structure of the old well with a ceramic tile roof, an irrigation tank, a restored threshing floor with a shed and porch, a bakehouse, surrounding gardens, a gate, and walls.

The set of urban parcels also includes a garage, an old stable, a wine cellar, a woodshed, and two buildings used to support the staff who worked on the estate.

The land adjacent to the built structures has good agricultural potential, as it is flat, with irrigation infrastructure and quality arable soil, and is crossed by a drainage channel for rainwater flowing from the eastern slope toward the Ribeira de Reveles.

According to the Coimbra Municipal Master Plan (PDM), this land is designated for urban development, which significantly increases its potential commercial value. Under the PDM, this 28,000 m² plot is located in a residential area (R2), and it is expected to be crossed by a section of the main road distribution network, with the following possible construction capacities identified:

a) Under Article 94, no. 1, b), a building index of 0.90 applies to the strip of land adjacent to the existing public road up to 1,000 m² (allowing a gross building area of 900 m²) and 0.45 for the remaining area (allowing a gross building area of 12,150 m²), for a total gross area of 13,050 m²;

b) The road easement does not limit this building capacity, and even the planned section of the main road distribution network within the land does not impede this urban development, potentially even enhancing its value;

c) This section of the main road distribution network should have a width of 6.50 m for lanes and 4.50 m for sidewalks, requiring a protective strip, following the definition of the alignment in the execution project, of 10 meters on both sides of the axis, with direct access to plots and marginal public parking;

d) There are no constraints regarding road easements, including national roads and the municipal road planned in the PDM, which may enhance the land’s value.
