Description
Property of historical significance, part of the National Heritage.
Quinta do Convento, located in Salzedas, immerses itself in a rich narrative, extending through the parishes of Salzedas and Granja Nova. One of its notable features is the passage of the Torno River inside the Quinta, whose waters supply the entire property, giving it a singular beauty.
The Monastery of Santa Maria de Salzedas, dating from 1155 and associated with the farm, lends it a unique aura. Erected after the donation of the land to the Order by Egas Moniz and his wife, Teresa Afonso, the monastery is one of the most emblematic points of the Douro and Varosa region.
On the grounds of the property, there is a charming chapel, surrounded by a lush garden, where the patron saint of Salzedas rests and a crystal clear water fountain.
The approximately 20 hectares of land are home to diverse orchards such as apple, walnut, olive and other varieties of fruit trees. Previously, the farm also had 8 hectares of vineyards in full activity, whose production was destined to the local cooperative, at the moment this area is available for the most varied uses.
The historical atmosphere of the farm is enriched by the presence of a Roman bridge, still imposing today, that crosses the Torno River.
In addition to the main house, consisting of 6 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a kitchen with pantry and two living rooms both with fireplace, the property has spaces to support agriculture and storage.
For investors interested in rural tourism, Quinta do Convento presents a unique opportunity. With vast space for expansion and a prime location, the property can contribute significantly to regional tourism, being a perfect fusion between the Salzedas Monastery and the farm itself, both rooted in a fascinating history.
Several investment options are feasible given the size of the property. One suggestion is the creation of an agronomic teaching centre, taking advantage of the vast plots of land available and attracting a new generation to the region.
This entire property is walled and with variable accesses, it has a mill and several ruins such as the caretaker's house that dates from 1614.
