Detached House, 7 Bedrooms, For Sale

Located in the prestigious region of Vila Nova de Gaia, Porto, this distinguished property, originally known as Quinta da Devesa, presents an unparalleled opportunity for those seeking both luxury and tradition. The estate comprises a main manor house from the late 19th century and a secondary residence, both elegantly restored in 2022, neatly enclosed within a 4503 square metre walled plot. The meticulous restoration retained the original elements and was executed by artisans from three continents, resulting in exceptional details, including hand-carved African woodwork and a striking Thai stone bathtub weighing 1.5 tonnes. The original stone fireplace, grand staircases, and solid African hardwood floors have been meticulously preserved. Designed by a renowned Italian designer from Milan, both kitchens seamlessly merge with the original aesthetic. Externally, the property boasts an orchard with fruit trees originating from Madagascar, Brazil, Morocco, Australia, Japan, among others, totaling 45 different varieties. Energetically efficient, the property features photovoltaic panels that contribute more energy than consumed, while the natural water from two mines ensures the irrigation of the estate and potential pool supply. Domestic water heating is managed by heat pumps and climate control through a comprehensive air conditioning system. The main house offers four bedrooms with three supporting bathrooms, while the secondary house includes three en suite bedrooms. Only a five-minute stroll from Canidelo’s waterfront and beaches, the property enjoys stunning sea views.
