Minho, Celorico de Basto, Portugal

Situated in a valley of rare natural beauty in Celorico de Basto, around 45 minutes from Porto, this unique 13.5-hectare property offers an exceptional balance of privacy, authenticity and a connection with nature. It represents a rare opportunity in the national property market, ideal for those who value tranquillity and potential for appreciation.

The site is divided between a main area of around 5 hectares, dedicated to residential and agricultural use, and a surrounding woodland area of 8.5 hectares, which ensures scale, seclusion and immersion in nature. This layout reinforces the property’s exclusive character and allows for multiple development possibilities.

At the heart of the property, a genuinely Minho atmosphere stands out, with a partially productive vineyard (Alvarinho and Trajadura grape varieties), an abundance of spring water and direct access to the River Freixieiro. The possibility of creating a private river beach adds a distinctive element of high value.

The built-up area includes a traditional-style four-bedroom main house, a second property requiring restoration, a wine cellar with wine presses, a granary, a porch and a mill on the river. These elements preserve the local identity and provide the basis for a project with character and authenticity.

The stream, which runs through the property, creates a serene and sensory environment, ideal for moments of contemplation, leisure or activities such as yoga and meditation. The surrounding woodland also offers trails, walks and opportunities to experience nature at first hand.

The terraced topography, combined with the green landscape and the presence of water, makes this space ideal for distinctive tourism projects, such as a boutique hotel, eco-resort, glamping site or wellness retreats.

Less than an hour from Porto, this property brings together increasingly sought-after attributes: nature, privacy and tourism potential, representing a unique investment opportunity in an asset with strong potential for appreciation.
