About this place
The Casa e Quinta da Igreja is a significant renovation project located in Braga, Portugal, presenting a rare opportunity to acquire and restore an architectural gem from the 18th century. Situated just 8 kilometres from Braga's city centre, this property showcases the elegant Baroque style for which the region is renowned.
With a total area of 32,000 square metres, the property is versatile, allowing for the development of a luxury condominium with multiple flats, or transformation into an event venue. Significant investments of over €600,000 have already been made in renovations, which include the installation of concrete and iron slabs, an elevator, and a new roof.
Notably, the property includes several structures, each with distinct features: the grand Solar ideal for a large residence or corporate use, Casa da Eira perfect for guest accommodations, Casa da Azenha for a tranquil retreat, and more. This project not only offers a canvas for creative development but also qualifies for advantageous tax benefits, making it appealing for private and commercial investors alike.
Braga’s rich history, coupled with a dynamic urban culture and a reputation as one of the best cities to live in Portugal, enhances the attractiveness of this investment. The property is also a prime candidate for a Cultural Golden Visa, presenting a pathway to EU residency for non-EU investors.
