Description
In the middle of the Alto Douro wine region, classified by UNESCO as a world heritage site, we find this magnificent farmhouse that combines tourism with wine production in a total area of 3,540m2.
At “Casa de Pena d'Águia”, located in the heart of the Douro wine region, in the middle of the village of Provesende, but still in the middle of nature, we are enraptured by the perfection of the natural setting, with the surrounding mountains as far as the eye can see, the scenic terraced vineyards , dotted with olive groves, and the Douro River in the background.
Enveloped by the scents of the garden's plants, we breathe peace and silence, made of the chirping of birds, the sound of the wind in the trees and the rustling of leaves in the vines.
“Casa de Pena d’Águia” is an architectural project that combines tradition and modernity, architecture and nature, in an organic fusion. Keeping the architectural design of the existing house, corresponding to a typical two-storey Douro house, in which the lower floor was intended for the production of wine, the respective rehabilitation/alteration and expansion was carried out through the creation of a new body, with a flat roof and partly landscaped, with large glazed openings and balconies along the entire length of the east and south facades, ensuring a harmonious integration with the surroundings.
With a private area of 234m2, it has 3 bedrooms, all with a fully equipped private bathroom, a bathroom to support the social area, kitchen and open plan living and dining room, office and laundry area.
Outside, the central element is the salt pool, with an infinity edge, with a glass fence for greater safety for its users.
The house has a private parking for 4 vehicles. Includes Wall Box for electric vehicles.
