The Estate and its Stud Farm came into the family by dote with the wedding, in the 17.th century, of Dona Maria de Faro with Don Nuno Álvares Pereira de Melo – 1.st Duke of Cadaval. Since 1648 until today the Stud Farm suffered various crossovers that suited the taste and needs of the ages. In the 17.th century the mares were divided into two herds. This way, two types of completely distinct horses were born, some more heavy and proper for work in the field and and other much more swift and thin for the saddle. Since 1954 and under the guidance of Fernando Sommer d’Andrade, a great friend of the family, the line followed has been the use of Lusitano stallions with the predominance of Ater Real, Sommer, Veiga, besides their own, of brown fur and generous and robust temper. The Stud Farm has several teams of horses entering in competitions and some horses involved in bullfighting. Horses are being exported to Belgium, Mexico, Germany, Italy, Brazil, Switzerland and Spain.

Through substantial investments in this area, the estate is nowadays the leading domaine offering a variety of different touristic services to its guests. Incentives, Congresses and Seminars, Team Building, Wind Surf, Wine tasting tours, Bird Watching, Carriage driving, Hunting and Fishing are some of the activities available.
