Farm Estate For Sale in Castelo De Paiva, Portugal
This is a rare opportunity to buy a centuries-old manor house and farm complex, set on a prime location of a hillside on the margins of the river Douro, only 37 kms from Oporto. Its earliest known use was by monks in the 17th century. Today it is occupied by the owner.
This is a rare opportunity to buy a centuries-old manor house and farm complex, set on a prime location of a hillside on the margins of the river Douro, only 37 kms from Oporto. Its earliest known use was by monks in the 17th century. Today it is occupied by the owner.
The property stretches from a 350m long river margin to the top of the hillside, occupying 120,000 m2 of highly desirable land, providing beautiful views towards the river Douro and still unspoilt woody mountains around.
Four separate houses made of granite stone enriched with a variety of details and touches are linked together to create a most charming place with a soul of its own. Chapel of St. Joseph, romantic enclosed garden, a stone water tank filled with fish, a pond with a duck house, a fountain and a lot more make this property truly special.
Elsewhere in the property there is another set of stone buildings which are a farm complex separated from the rest of the buildings by a road. It is a fascinating place. The stone walls will start talking to you and ancient history of houses will breath at you, imagination will start to wander and you will fall in love with these houses instantly.
The complex of granite stone buildings have an orchard nearby and are attached to a parcel of land of 20,000 m2. The entire plot of land has planning permission, subject to licensing, for construction of leisure and tourism facilities. In it it may be possible to build an aparthotel, small health club, tennis courts, swimming pools, minigolf, etc. in an area occupying approximately 10,000 m2.
The other 10,000 m2 of land also have the same planning permission and are located above the main houses. This area may be ideal for riding horses and for other outdoor activities as it has perfect views overlooking the river Douro and the sensation of beauty and peace cannot be overstated.
Because of its location, accessibility, proximity to Oporto and extensive (350 m) margin with river Douro, Quinta do Freixo is an ideal property for tourism projects. It is a calm and beautiful place and yet enjoys the amenities of a large modern city and an international airport, just an hour away.
There are many possibilities, from a sophisticated project to just using the existing buildings and of course, using the river margin for boating, etc. There are separate entrances and spaces wide-apart which allow a dual use, as a private "paradise" property and for a tourism project.
Further information and photographs can be viewed in the property website.
