Anwesen Mit Stammhaus Für Privatresidenz Oder Ländlichen Tourismus In Felgueiras, Resende, Viseu.

Estate with ancestral house for private residence or rural tourism in Felgueiras, Resende, Viseu

This historic and widely known property is called Quinta da Vinha due to its natural beauty, the “excess of nature” as Miguel Torga once said, its setting among mountains, and also for its famous Vinho Verde.

The estate and rural house, located in Felgueiras on the slopes of Resende, Viseu, are just 7 kilometers from the magnificent Douro River. The region, birthplace of illustrious and noble families, writers, and politicians, has left a legacy of large estates, manor houses, historic monuments, and traditions, coexisting with progress that does not distort the land’s past. The restoration of the house, the stone threshing floor, the granary, the wine cellar/bar, and numerous decorative objects reflect this reality, which will be appreciated by those with good taste or by tourists.

Upon arriving at the house, one is greeted by a traditional and imposing granary under the shade of a majestic pine tree. It evokes dreams of typical grape harvests performed on the adjacent large stone threshing floor, facing the mountains and green pastures where cows and sheep graze, wild birds fly, and the waters of a stream and tank create an indescribable tranquil atmosphere.

The ground floor is stunning, with wooden tools and barrels housing a bar and wine cellar of rare beauty, filled with historical ornamental pieces and rare wines, perfect for joyful gatherings. Two other rooms complement the space, and the porch houses the machinery.

The first floor, at street level, has a suite and three bedrooms, reading rooms with panoramic glass windows overlooking the fields and mountains, a TV room, dining and living areas, a traditional kitchen with a wood-fired oven, and two bathrooms. There is a large fireplace and heaters. The interior is rich with period details, exquisite antique pieces, discreet colors, rustic furniture, and built-in illuminated wardrobes.

The high-quality furnishings remain and will stay with the property.

Adjacent to the main house, there is a large one-bedroom unit (T1), a two-story building for agricultural support and Vinho Verde bottling; a long, narrow building currently only on the ground floor, but prepared for an upper-level construction.

Complementing this, the green space with gardens, leisure areas, and crops, nourished by the stream at the end of the valley, awaits the owner’s creativity to further enhance the beauty of Quinta da Vinha.

A vegetable garden, orchard (featuring the delicious cherries of Resende from about 100 trees and 100 olive trees producing pure olive oil), a modern chicken coop and barn decorate the surrounding greenery with terraces and walls, wide paths, and lush forested areas dominated by chestnuts, oaks, and cedars. Together with the renowned Penedo das Uchas, they create an indescribable well-being and rare quality of life.

The estate produces grapes (Alvarinho and Avesso), with a harvest full of emotion among the local community, which each May turns the grapes into Vinho Verde, famous for accompanying roasted kid goat and piglet. A production and bottling license exists, with climate-controlled facilities and equipment.

Beehives and two large greenhouses are part of a strawberry planting project, adjacent to extensive blueberry plantations.

Thus, Quinta da Vinha, surrounded by road and water, perfectly integrates with the scenic beauty of the nearby Serra de Montemuro and the more distant Serra das Meadas and Serra do Marão.

This natural space, with 7 springs and 5 tanks, awaits new life, celebrating the greatness of the people and their traditions with quality and modernity.

Develop a rural tourism accommodation and enjoy intense days in a paradise-like location with even greater capital return.
