Description

Discover Quinta da Fonte, a distinguished estate dating back to 1797, located in Santiago do Cacém in the heart of the Alentejo region.
This magnificent estate combines refined traditional architecture with spacious indoor and outdoor areas, offering an atmosphere of tranquility, privacy, and comfort.
The property—comprising the house and the estate grounds—is situated on the southern edge of the town of Santiago do Cacém, right at the boundary of the urban perimeter in the Fidalgo area, facing the Quinta do Rio da Figueira public park.
The estate and its grounds enjoy a privileged setting and a unique geographical location: on one side, it faces the southern slope of the Castle, offering an unobstructed view of this monument; on the other, it opens towards the west, providing views that extend to the sea and across the lowlands between Santo André and Sines.
The property is believed to have once belonged to the Order of Santiago, as evidenced by boundary markers bearing the Order's emblem. It appears in documents dating back to 1799 and features a terraced layout integrated into the valley, which includes water tanks, conduits, and the spring (*fonte*) that gives the estate its name.

The residential area spans 290 m² across two buildings (one of which has two floors); the area dedicated to warehouses, the olive press, and storage rooms is 549 m²; and the area comprising threshing floors, terraces, and water tanks totals 359 m².
