House T20 in Abrantes with virtual tour

Historic Estate “Villa Maria” | Tramagal

An absolutely unique property in the national real estate landscape is presented: Quinta Villa Maria, located in the town of Tramagal, municipality of Abrantes — a residence of outstanding historical, architectural and heritage value.

Built in 1945, Villa Maria was commissioned by the family of Eduardo Duarte Ferreira, one of the most influential Portuguese industrial families of the 20th century and a central figure in the economic and social development of Tramagal through the historic Metalúrgica Duarte Ferreira. This connection gives the property strong local and regional significance, far beyond that of a simple rural estate.

Architect-Designed Property

The main house was designed by the renowned architect Porfírio Pardal Monteiro, one of the most prominent figures in Portuguese architecture, winner of several Valmor Prizes and author of some of the country’s most iconic buildings.

The residence features a palatial architectural style, with imposing scale and presence, reflecting the social status of its original owner and the high construction standards typical of grand manor houses from the first half of the 20th century.
