Centennial Farm, on the South Bank of the Douro River, in Oliveira do Douro, Vila Nova de Gaia, Porto. It is the charming “Quinta da Pedra Salgada” that has about four hectares of breathtaking landscape with the Douro River as its main protagonist in its surroundings.

This property is characterized by a manor house of the beginning of the XVIII century, with two floors and rectangular plan, with the main facade facing the Douro River.

Full of history, in a truly bucolic environment, and in harmony with the sublime views of the river, it is the perfect location to reinvigorate of energies, inspired by the richness of the shades of green that emerge from the most diverse plans of the farm, with a privileged view of the waters that echoes there in a landscape that extends to the eastern panorama of the city of Porto.

With a river front of 234 m, its privileged location has an huge potential, allied to the advantage of the ongoing reconstruction of the marginal of the Douro River, urban rehabilitation and accessibility of the area, already with excellent access; also the proximity of the anchorage of Hotel boats, such as the ones of the companies Douro Azul and Croisieurope.

The Freixo bridge rises on the horizon giving continuity to that perfection of the movement of the waters of the river that follows its route to the mouth of the Douro.

Its proximity to the Freixo bridge, the most upstream bridge of the Douro River estuary, and which connects the highways to Viana do Castelo, Braga and Amarante (to the North) and Aveiro, Coimbra and Lisbon (to the south), gives this property another unique potential for any investment project.

Upstream of the farm is the ”Cais da Quinta da Pedra Salgada". It consists of a granite ramp that extends perpendicularly from the bank to the river, and can serve as access for recreational boats, also allowing the possibility of building an Anchorage next to the river for possible boats and/or a heliport, only about 4000 m away from “ribeira do Porto”.

In addition to being an excellent option for own housing, the property also has an indisputable potential for its transformation into a luxury hotel or for another type of investment/project related to tourism, such as organization of events (meetings, weddings, business lunches), rural tourism, etc…

The main house, located on an intermediate level of the farm, is divided into two distinct areas. The original house dates from the 16th century. (1535?) and a later enlargement dating to the 18th century. (1780?); On an upper level is the homemade House.
The buildings are complemented by several outbuildings scattered throughout the property.
