STORY
-----------
Welcome to the stunning countryside of Portugal, where the sprawling vineyards stretch as far as the eye can see. But amid the natural beauty lies an enigma, a forgotten relic of a once-prosperous family - The Mota family.
In the late 1800s, the Mota family constructed their grand estate, cultivating the finest wines in the region and building a legacy that spanned generations. But at the turn of the millennium, the family vanished without a trace, leaving their ancestral home abandoned.
Now, the Mota mansion is a tantalizing mystery waiting to be solved. What led to the family's sudden disappearance? What secrets lay buried within the walls of this magnificent estate?
Join us on a spine-tingling adventure as we delve deep into the heart of the Mota family's abandoned mansion. As we explore, we stumble upon a hidden room that holds clues about the family's past and uncover some shocking revelations.
But hold on tight because, during our exploration, we did something truly insane! You won't want to miss this thrilling journey as we uncover the Mystery of the Mota Mansion. So hit that play button and get ready for an adventure you'll never forget!

I have been watching you for a couple years and I have to say your amazing. I love how you explain everything for us clueless Americans that never had gotten to travel to see anything like you show. I want to thank you for that. I think they left all those clothes because they only took what they could take if they did “flee” and what did they care about leaving any of that behind? When you are rich all those material items can be replaced.

It breaks my heart to see these beautiful abandoned residences. The reason is sometimes simple, you should know that in Portugal, when the parents are deceased, the children do not pay inheritance rights, so they do not have the need to sell or maintain the property to pay notary fees, resulting in thousands of abandoned houses in Portugal!

@prof.isabelmaria5475 Жыл бұрын

Is that so? That's sad. It breaks my heart too. I always dream about how life used to be when original owners lived at those places.

When i had visited Portugal, the family i visited had a corner fireplace in the guest bedrm. It is the only country where i have actually seen this. .. yes, marble is very inexpensive in Portugal, or at least when i visited. A relative had some furniture pieces topped w/marble, then shipped back to the states.

I'm wondering how the Port tasted,an wonderful place, love the tiles the looking handmade. My favorite is the hidden wine cellar. I was young and went in Germany on the Mosel river Close to a wine cellar to sample wine. The deeper I went the better an aged the wine was. As I went outside I feeling the alcohol taking full effect 😞.

Did you know you can have the wine analyzed for chemical make up and reproduce the exact recipe? My friends did this with Roses bourbon. The barrels, if filled, can be worth up to 10,000. Dollars each. They contain years of work to get perfection. I really enjoyed this video. Also the jugs laying around are highly collectible and sell for big bucks.

A hidden wine cellar? Maybe a secret stash they didn't want to declare?

@christerstabis3187 Жыл бұрын

Well, you could clearly see it from the yard, with a window you can easyliy look through, so I don't think it was supposed to be secret.

@patriciamariemitchel Жыл бұрын

@@christerstabis3187, I thought the window was in like a hallway. Oh, a courtyard entryway? But it's a strange window, not meant to be looked through, but to appear to be something more like a drainage vent? If someone looked in there they might not know what they were looking at. 32:25

@christerstabis3187 Жыл бұрын

@@patriciamariemitchel Yes, the window may be for venting. I don't know. But it is the wine cellar, as he says in the video, right after your time mark. As long as someone got light there would be easy to see that it is a wine cellar. So I still don't think it is secret, unless there was another wall outside of the window in an earlier age (which I can not see right now there has been).

@mikehamilton6259 Жыл бұрын

Bro Leslie, just so you know for future reference, the best way to uncork a wine bottle, especially Champagne, is to firmly grasp the cork, then twist the bottle and not the cork. This is especially important for Champagne because it will prevent the cork from causing damage to the ceiling, amongst other things like lights, chandeliers, etc.

If I had seen this house by myself I would not think too much about it, but you have a way of bringing these houses back to life. You are a great historian in that you recreate what life might have been for the people in the house and suddenly the place feel so human and leaves me with a touch of sadness for the inhabitants who are long gone. It makes it so cool to explore these houses with you both. Well done!
