Quinta do Mosteiro de São Jorge de Milreu – Historic Estate with 37 Hectares Near Coimbra

This 37-hectare estate, located on the south bank of the Mondego River near Coimbra, combines historical significance with investment potential.

The property features approximately 6,500 m² of built area across several distinct structures, including a 17th-century cloister, church, friars’ refectory, a small chapel, monks’ cells, and a panoramic corner balcony with sweeping views over the river.

The buildings display baroque tilework and a notable 1751 painting by André Gonçalves. The origins of the Monastery of São Jorge trace back to the 11th century, having been inhabited by Augustinian monks, and later by Jesuits between the 16th and 18th centuries, before returning to the Augustinians until the dissolution of religious orders in 1834.

In 1999, the property was restored and adapted to house the Vasco da Gama University School, which operated there until 2013.

This estate offers unique potential for tourism or cultural investment, combining historical value, extensive construction, and a prime location near Coimbra—a UNESCO World Heritage city.
