Nestled on the right bank of the majestic River Douro in the heart of the Douro International Natural Park, Quinta do Joanamigo is a breathtaking estate just 200 meters from the charming village of Barca d'Alva. Spanning approximately 84 hectares across two distinct properties, this remarkable land stretches from the riverbanks to the valley's summit, adorned with lush almond groves, centuries-old olive trees, and prestigious vineyards that yield the world-renowned Port wine.

Boasting 600 meters of pristine riverfront, the estate is an idyllic setting for both agricultural ventures and luxury tourism. At its core lies a collection of early 20th-century residential and agricultural buildings, thoughtfully designed to frame panoramic views of the Douro.

A true masterpiece of heritage and natural beauty, this property offers an unparalleled opportunity to own a piece of Portugal's cultural and viticultural legacy.
