Description

Perched on top of a sun-drenched hillside, this extraordinary century-old quinta is a living testament to the traditional architecture of the Douro region. Fully renovated in 2020 and ready to move into, it seamlessly combines historical charm with the comfort and functionality of modern living. Boasting breathtaking views on the Douro Valley, from every point of the property and its 3.5 hectares of terraced land. This includes 1.5 hectares of native woodland, vegetable gardens, and an impressive variety of fruit trees. Winding through traditional cobbled paths and granite walls, you’ll find numerous peaceful corners perfect for relaxing, reading, or simply enjoying the surrounding nature. At the heart of the quinta lies a swimming pool, strategically positioned at the highest point of the estate to offer unparalleled panoramic views. There is also a barbecue area with an outdoor kitchen—ideal for al fresco gatherings—as well as a beautifully restored barn that now serves as multifunctional indoor and outdoor spaces, complete with two toilets and great potential for further development. The estate features a spacious car park with room for approximately 20 vehicles, along with a closed garage for four cars. A irrigation system covers the entire property, supplied by three natural springs, a well, and its own potable water. Every detail has been carefully considered to ensure ease of maintenance and environmental sustainability. Above all, this quinta is remarkably versatile: currently operating as a five-star holiday rental, it is equally well-suited as a family home, holiday residence, or rural tourism project. There is already an architectural project in place to convert the barns into four self-contained units with private bathrooms, create small independent guest houses on the land, a sundeck by the pool, a bar or wine-tasting room in the garage, and additional parking. A native-species landscaping plan reinforces the commitment to nature and the unique identity of the site. This is a place where tradition meets forward-thinking vision—perfect for anyone seeking to live or invest in a truly exceptional setting.
