Magnificent Manor House, representing a rich historical heritage, with stunning views over the Douro Valley and its terraced vineyards, located in the heart of the historic centre of the charming village of Tabuaço, part of UNESCO World Heritage, integrated into the Alto Douro Wine Region! This beautiful Manor House comprises 582 m² of living space, 3 floors, 8 rooms and surrounding land of 1,092 m², which deserves proper rehabilitation and restoration! Included in the sale of the Manor House is agricultural land covering 9,700 m², with vineyards and olive groves. Built in the 18th century, the manor originally formed part of a rural and wine-producing estate. In the 19th century, it was enlarged with a second residential wing, creating an architectural ensemble of considerable historical and heritage interest. The main body, inspired by erudite baroque architecture, is distinguished by its elegant façade, featuring: * Windows with ornamental mouldings, arranged symmetrically. * Main entrance door with decorated pediments. * Balcony window with elegant projecting balustrade. * Architectural elements in stone of considerable decorative richness. * Interior layout that largely preserves the original spatial configuration. The 19th-century wing displays a more refined architectural language, with doors and windows at various levels that create rhythm and balance to the façade. The property is framed by traditional stone walls, green areas and gardens, maintaining an atmosphere of tranquility and authenticity that reflects its origins as a manor estate. Noteworthy is the inclusion in the sale of land covering approximately 9,700 m², situated in front of the Manor House. This agricultural land comprises vineyards with high-quality grape varieties for white wine production, and border olive groves. The proximity between the Manor House and this land allows preservation of the historical connection between the manor and its agricultural component, forming an ensemble of particular heritage and landscape interest.
