Steeped in Portuguese history, this magnificent estate is fully enclosed, where privacy blends with the natural beauty that surrounds it entirely. It boasts special and distinctive features that make it a luxurious and extraordinary property.
Its setting in Douro Interior Region, within the Tua Valley Natural Region, offers views of and easy access to the city. The grandeur of its frontage, the cobblestone streets of the main access roads which run alongside its private heliport and connect to the residence area, are all surrounded by beautiful gardens and lined with magnificent cypress trees, creating a unique atmosphere where luxury, charm, and glamour harmonise with the grandeur of natural beauty.
In the centre and at one of the highest points of the estate lies the distinguished residential area. The main house stands out, characterised by the comfort of all its spaces, as well as its design and meticulous decoration. It is a traditional Tras-os-Montes manor house, typical of the region, which was rebuilt using high-quality materials and luxury finishes, while preserving its original architectural features.
Adjacent to it are two additional single-storey villas, featuring the same level of finishes and comfort, built to accommodate guests in style and provide them with complete privacy. This luxurious residential complex is complemented by the surrounding gardens and terraces, as well as its inviting and pleasant swimming pool.
Every detail has been handled with the utmost care, from the constant connection with nature to the construction of the private heliport located near the residential area, making this property even more exclusive.
In the agricultural context, the property has been fully developed with the planting of a 60 hectare almond grove and a 20 hectare olive grove, both organically farmed. Roads have been built to provide access to all parts of the plantations for easy and proper maintenance, as well as the creation of a large pond for water storage, a key factor for the vitality of the crops.
To support agricultural operations, specialised warehouses were built, located in areas designated for storing produce and equipment. To optimise these operations, a large central warehouse was built to centralise all logistical support including handling for the preparation, packaging, and distribution of almonds, as well as to store agricultural implements, tractors, and other vehicles, and to house administrative services.
It has excellent access, located 5 minutes from downtown Mirandela, around 30 minutes from Bragan and Vila Real, and 1 hour and 30 minutes from Porto and the international airport; it also benefits from the regional airports in the other two cities, which are equipped to handle private jets.
This is the legacy that the current owner has built with all his passion, dedication, and determination to create something special in a wonderful region, one he discovered after years of business life in major countries and cosmopolitan cities, and which he intends to pass on to someone with the vision, energy, and ambition to maintain and carry on the project.
This is a unique opportunity for those seeking a luxury retreat, where life moves at a slower pace and offers a superior quality of life, but where there is the infrastructure already in place for developing projects in agriculture and distribution, luxury tourism, and private and corporate events.

Buying a Property in Portugal
1. Signing a Letter of Intent
On finding a property you wish to purchase, your agent will draw up a 'Letter of Intent, this will be signed by both parties, vendor and buyer. Copies of this will be given to the legal representatives of both parties and will be used in preparing the Promissory Contract. Included in this letter will be the price, what is included in the sale, furnishings etc. and any conditions of the sale plus the dates for both exchange and completion.
2. Exchange of Promissary Contract (Contrato Promessa de Compra e Venda)
The buyers lawyers are responsible for drawing up the promissory contract (Contrato Promessa de Compra e Venda) and as part of the process they will have carried out the legal searches and made sure that there are no charges, e.g. utilities, property tax etc. against the property. The contract will contain details of both parties and include clear title of ownership, when payments are due to be made, the completion date and an inventory, if required. The Promissory Contract is legally binding and will generally be signed by both parties and witnessed by a notary/lawyer. The contract will include penalty clauses in case either party does not fulfill the terms of the contract. A 10%, non-refundable deposit is required at this point, this will be paid to the vendor, through the lawyer's client account. Once the contract has been signed, if the vendor pulls out of the contract, they will be obliged to pay back double the deposit to the purchaser. If the purchaser pulls out, they will lose their deposit.
3. On Completion
The amount of time between signing the Promissary Contract and Completion will vary and will have been agreed in the contract. Before Completion your lawyer will need to arrange with a fiscal representative for you to obtain a Portuguese Fiscal Number. The official Deed of Transfer of ownership (the Escritura) will be signed by you (or someone representing you with your Power of Attorney), this is signed at the Notary and they will retain the document. The Deed will be read aloud by the Notary before all participants sign it. Your lawyer will need to check to ensure that you understand what is being said if you do not understand Portugese. The Escritura, once it has been signed, will officially give you ownership of the property, but will still need to be registered in your name on the Land Registry (Registo Predial) by your lawyer. Your lawyer should obtain a copy of this for your records. Once you have completed, the new utility contracts can be transferred into your name by your lawyer.
