Small Farm, 3 Bedrooms, For Sale

Nestled in the heart of the Alto Douro Wine Region in Valença do Douro, Tabuaço, this exquisite estate seamlessly blends contemporary architecture with rural heritage, offering a unique connection to the breathtaking Douro landscape. With stunning views of the Douro River and its iconic terraced vineyards, this property features a 3-bedroom house, a swimming pool, and an extensive 9,000 m² of land, rich in historic vineyards and century-old olive trees. Built in 2019 by architect João Aires Pereira, the house reflects a thoughtful renovation of a 19th-century schist winery. Its 169 m² of gross construction area is spread over two floors, showcasing traditional building materials and expansive windows that invite the outside in. The living room is warmed by a wood burner, while the open-plan kitchen and dining area extend to a charming outdoor terrace with a schist table. The private area consists of three bedrooms, including a suite, and two bathrooms, plus the comfort of air conditioning and central heating. Outside, the pool is perfectly situated amidst the vineyard’s historic Class A terraced slopes, complemented by vintage olive trees and two wells. There is ample exterior parking space and a ruin with potential for restoration. Additionally, a previously approved, though expired, project for a second 1-bedroom house with 37 m² of private gross area adds to the property’s future possibilities. Located within the UNESCO World Heritage Alto Douro Wine Region, a hub for Port and DOC Douro wine production, this estate is less than 15 minutes from Pinhão and just over an hour and a half from Porto. It offers the serene rural lifestyle while staying connected to one of the world’s renowned wine destinations. With a permit for tourism operations, this estate is perfect for a primary residence, holiday home, or tourism investment. Its distinct architecture, pool, historic vineyard, and river views, along with future development potential, present a compelling opportunity for those seeking an authentic Douro living experience.
