Description
This farm has a main building that does not go unnoticed to any conimbricence for its location and for its grandeur. Already visited a few times and have followed its evolution as ruin. For example, by the time the first post here on the site, during our first visit, had a tub that was on the 2nd floor near a heavily damaged by a fire zone. We went back there every day in 06-09-2014 and said tub was already on the 1st floor after floor have given, probably due to the machines that went to clean and chop ground there around. 8 days later I returned to the site to see parts of the building and attachments that were hidden so far and I came across the tub already traveled on the ground floor (Photo # 10).
With time, back to the site for one last visit because I think there is still something more to offer us. In recent times we managed to contact a family member of a former owner who has provided us some more information.

Historical Notes
This building, the second was found, belonged to Joaquim Gonçalves Junior Rama that there are over 50 years lost that it was the fifth of the English Guard # 1 by the corrupt hands of a said “friend”, at the time was a lawyer and some inheritance issues. To the despair of the property loss, of Sr. Joaquim Rama prayed a curse to those who tried in the future acquire ownership. They say that the popular desire was fulfilled and that…
all those who had the opportunity to buy this property died of it and without descendants.
And now photos… and in the end can still see a small video ever before released on our Facebook page.
