Description
“The prodigy of a landscape that ceases to be so by dint of disproportioning itself. It is not a panorama that the eyes contemplate: it is an excess of nature.”
Miguel Torga in “Diário XII”
A property in the Douro.
"When we talk about the Douro, we are talking about much more than a river or a region of our country. We are talking about the unique landscapes, the steep slopes, the dams that are an attraction today, the people who live here, the gastronomy of an more traditional and that, even after all these centuries, still bring a smile to our lips whenever we try these unique recipes.So we don't exaggerate even when we say that the Douro is the most beautiful river in the world!
Getting to know the Douro is more than visiting the river or the region through which it flows. It is entering a special region, where the natural is still king and where the history, tradition and people who inhabit it are as unique as the river that serves them."
Lucas Fox presents an exclusive property, with an approved project and a license to build a unique and extremely exclusive single-family house.
A house that is fully integrated into the terrain that welcomes it, which is hidden in the landscape and which marks the tradition of a region known for its vineyards, “sitting” on the terraces of the slopes, with time to contemplate the Douro.
This property, with an excellent location, permanently facing the Douro River, has direct access via the national road 108.
Its close neighbors are two prestigious hotels, the "Hotel Douro Suites" and the "Douro Royal Valley Hotel & Spa".
The architectural project promotes total communication and experience of the outdoor spaces through the extensive glass spans that slide smoothly and call for exposure from the interior of the house to its outdoor space for enjoyment and contemplation of the river, the fruition of the green area, the outdoor pool and another pool covered by a glass “cloth” that gives it protection and simultaneously sharpens our senses to discover the cove that looms towards the house, the starting and ending point of a contemplation.
The living areas are rewarded for their large living spaces (social areas) and private sleeping areas (two master suites plus five suites), including a wellness area (gym) and equipment associated with well-being.
This unique and exclusive house also allows the development of a business based on a concept of tourist accommodation, aimed at guests who prefer unique places, with exponentially personalized service and reference experiences.
From the advice of a Butler, to the care of a Housekeeper, to a personalized boat trip or a meal cooked by a Chef.
