Mansion, Elvas

Manor house built in 1880 by the Portuguese Nobility.

Quinta da Espanhola is a unique aristocratic estate located in the historic surroundings of Elvas, set within an environment of rare natural beauty and complete privacy.

Established on a vast area of landscaped and tree-filled grounds, this property combines architectural grandeur with the serenity typical of large Alentejo estates. The main manor house, inspired by Romantic and Neoclassical architecture, stands out for its timeless elegance: harmonious façades, large windows that flood the interiors with natural light, high ceilings, and decorative details that reflect the refinement of its late 19th-century construction.

Inside, the spaces are distributed across generous living and reception rooms, formal salons ideal for hosting events, several spacious bedrooms, and support areas that preserve the aristocratic character of the residence. The atmosphere blends historic nobility with comfort.

The exterior is equally remarkable. French-inspired gardens, with century-old trees and rare ornamental species, create a romantic and exclusive setting. The estate also includes secondary buildings, agricultural areas, and a complete equestrian complex with 30 stables, riding arenas, a horse walker, and supporting infrastructure — making it ideal as a private residence or for a high-end tourism or equestrian project.

Its proximity to the Spanish border enhances its historical and cultural character, in a region classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site due to the fortifications of Elvas.

Quinta da Espanhola therefore represents a unique opportunity to acquire a prestigious historic property, where tradition, elegance, and scale come together in a truly distinguished setting.

Estate with 90,000 m² comprising a French-architecture manor house, a botanical garden with rare flora designed by Forestier, an equestrian center with 30 stables and horse walker, a show-jumping arena, two independent houses with swimming pool, and additional land suitable for cultivation.

Located 25 minutes from Badajoz and 2 hours from Lisbon.
