Description

Quinta dos Três Rios: A Captivating Wine Estate and Elegant Tourism Retreat

Step into the charm and heritage of Quinta dos Três Rios, a distinguished wine estate and boutique tourist accommodation nestled in the heart of the renowned Dão wine region. At the center of this 4.6-hectare estate lies a mid-1800s Georgian-style farmhouse, originally built by an English entrepreneur who made his mark in Portugal’s textile industry.

A Timeless Restoration

The current British owners have masterfully restored the estate with meticulous attention to detail, preserving its historic character. From the original pine floors to the intricately panelled shutters and vintage door handles, every element reflects a commitment to authenticity. Purchased in a dilapidated state in 2005, the property underwent a comprehensive transformation, culminating in the completion of the main house in 2006. Since then, it has flourished as a thriving tourism and wine enterprise.

An Idyllic Location

Perched at the edge of the quaint village of Parada de Gonta in Tondela, the estate is perfectly positioned. Just 16 km from Viseu and a convenient 1.30h drive from Porto, it offers seamless accessibility while remaining a serene escape. The estate’s Asnes River frontage, with its cascading waterfalls and tranquil pools, adds a magical touch to the landscape.

The Estate

This remarkable property includes:

  • Vineyards: Four Dão grape varieties, ensuring a robust wine production.
  • Grounds: Mature trees, olive groves, vegetable gardens, and abundant wildlife, complemented by charming hand-fed geese.
  • Manor House: A meticulously renovated three-level, 800 m2 home featuring double-glazed windows, high-quality insulation, and a blend of timeless elegance and modern energy efficiency.

A Versatile Opportunity

Currently operated as a sought-after short-term rental destination, the manor house boasts a spacious ground-floor living room reminiscent of an English countryside retreat, with fireside sofas and a sophisticated dining area. Whether envisioned as a luxurious family home or continued as a tourism and wine venture, this property offers unparalleled versatility.

Modern Comfort with Historic Charm

The estate’s heating and hot water are powered by an underground propane system, although the energy-efficient design ensures that heating is rarely required. Every feature has been thoughtfully integrated to provide modern comfort while maintaining the estate’s historic allure.

Quinta dos Três Rios is more than a property; it’s an invitation to embrace a lifestyle of elegance, tradition, and natural beauty. This is your opportunity to own a truly exceptional estate, steeped in history and ready for its next chapter.
