Manor House In The Dão Wine Region

Farm Tondela stands quietly in Portugal’s renowned Dão wine region, surrounded by 53,730 m² of land that includes expansive vineyards, olive trees and direct river access. This estate marries the authenticity of its 19th-century English heritage, built in 1865, with a refined 2006 restoration that respects provenance and modern comfort.

The house spans 800 m² across three thoughtful floors. Six suites anchor the living experience, with four offering private salons for retreat and reflection. Communal spaces unfold with a generous ground-floor living room overlooking the countryside, a fireplace at its center, and a kitchen with dining area illuminated by tranquil garden views. Substantial double-glazed windows frame vistas of the mountains, river, and vine-laden slopes.

Vineyards cover 6,000 m² with four classic Dão red grape varieties, all rooted into American stock for resilience. Among olive trees and curated vegetable gardens, the land reveals a rhythm of slow living with views stretching to waterfalls on the Asnes River.

A gas boiler and propane tank quietly manage central heating, supplemented by double-glazing and fiber optic connectivity. Two wells and a private mine supply water, while modern infrastructure ensures comfort in every season. The farm Tondela offers the rare union of privacy, authenticity, and enduring rural beauty.
