Tondela, Viseu 3460-391

Built in 1865 by an English textile entrepreneur, Quinta dos Três Rios is a splendid Georgian style manor house nestled within 4.6 hectares of beautiful grounds. The estate features 450 meters of frontage along the peaceful River Asnes, whose flowing waters can be heard from the home. Located on the edge of Parada de Gonta village, the property offers a serene countryside escape while remaining highly accessible. The historic city of Viseu is less than 20 minutes to the north, Tondela is 20 minutes to the south, and Porto airport is a 90 minute drive away. The current owners have meticulously restored the 811 square meter manor house to pristine condition, running a successful wine and tourism business while preserving original features like the pine flooring, shutters, and door handles. Spread over two main levels and a converted mansard, the house includes a grand 100 square meter living room, a spacious equipped kitchen with a fireplace and three first floor suites. Furnishings are negotiable. The top floor offers self contained guest accommodation with its own kitchen and leisure areas, making it ideal for multi-generational living and/or those of an entrepreneurial spirit. For comfort and efficiency, the home is equipped with double glazed windows, propane central heating, a private water supply, and a septic tank. Outside, the estate boasts a 1.42 hectare vineyard with 6,000 Dão grape vines on the upper slopes, alongside olive groves, vegetable plots, mature trees, and local wildlife. Additionally, the ruins of the original textile factory sit on the grounds, offering a prime redevelopment opportunity for further guest accommodation or business use, available via separate negotiation. The nearby city of Viseu, known as the garden city, provides excellent shopping, healthcare, and educational facilities. It features a historic cobblestone district with a 12th century cathedral as well as the modern Ice Palace shopping center, making the area an exceptional and practical location for a fine country retreat. The property also finds itself less than a 5min drive away from the renown winery Quinta dos Lemos and its Michelin star restaurant Mesa dos Lemos. Partner's Courtesy
