Quinta Fraguil – Sustainable luxury living in the Douro Valley, Portugal. Located high above the stunning Douro Valley and set on a private plot of approximately 38,000 m², Quinta Fraguil is a truly exceptional property, where authentic Portuguese heritage combines with contemporary luxury. Magnificently restored and extensively modernized, this remarkable property offers an exceptional combination of comfort, privacy, sustainability and flexibility in one of Portugal's most celebrated landscapes. Accessible via a private road that winds through terraced gardens and mature fruit trees, the property immediately evokes a sense of tranquility and exclusivity. Every aspect of the property has been carefully designed to create a home that is both stylish and practical, allowing you to enjoy modern comforts whilst taking in the beauty of the surrounding countryside. The main residence combines a traditional granite farmhouse with a stunning contemporary extension, seamlessly merging a timeless character with a modern, sophisticated lifestyle. Bathed in natural light, the spacious interior was designed to maximize the spectacular panoramic views across the valley towards the Douro River. An inviting entrance hall leads to two spacious bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, whilst the impressive open-plan living area forms the heart of the home. A beautifully equipped kitchen with a central island harmoniously integrates with the dining and living areas, with large windows opening onto terraces that create a seamless connection between indoors and outdoors. Designed to provide year-round comfort, the property benefits from high quality insulation, triple glazing, central heating, air conditioning and an excellent A+ Energy Certificate, ensuring exceptional energy efficiency in all seasons. The property offers exceptional flexibility for family life, hosting guests or generating income. Two independent apartments sit adjacent to the main residence, each offering self-contained accommodation. One of them is spread over two floors with direct access to the pool terrace, while the second has its own entrance, private parking, landscaped garden, hot tub and outdoor leisure area. Separate from the main house are two wooden cottages nestled on the grounds. Laurel Cottage is completed and ready to welcome guests, whilst the second cottage is nearing completion, further enhancing the property's accommodation options. The outdoors are just as impressive as the indoors. The beautifully landscaped gardens feature olive, avocado and palm trees alongside well-established Mediterranean vegetation, creating a series of tranquil spaces from which to enjoy the ever-changing landscape. The luxurious leisure area is centered around an 8 x 4 meter heated saltwater pool with retractable cover, complemented by an infrared sauna, six-person Jacuzzi and spacious terraces designed for entertaining guests or simply relaxing under the Portuguese sun. One of Quinta Fraguil's distinguishing features is its exceptional commitment to sustainable living. The property has benefited from substantial investment in renewable energy, combining solar, wind and hydro power to provide remarkable energy independence whilst keeping operating costs exceptionally low. The solar installation currently generates up to 17 kWh and has already been prepared for expansion up to 36 kW, while battery storage capacity has been increased to an impressive 96 kWh. This advanced system also provides a significant level of resilience during power outages. Depending on usage, the property can comfortably operate independently for approximately two to four days, offering invaluable peace of mind in a world where energy security has become increasingly important.In addition to its lifestyle appeal, Quinta Fraguil offers several well-established income opportunities. A productive blueberry plantation is professionally managed by experienced contractors, allowing owners to benefit from the harvest without the demands of day-to-day management. Apartments, cottages and already established relationships with nearby organizations requiring accommodation for teachers, healthcare professionals and other workers provide excellent opportunities for holiday rentals, long-term rentals or a combination of both. The property has also benefited from detailed architectural planning for two separate extensions, offering exciting possibilities for future expansion. Although the current owners chose not to move forward with these proposals, comprehensive plans were drawn up and received the necessary approvals in advance, including consultation within the scope of the Douro landscape, protected by UNESCO. These plans are available to the new owner and can provide a valuable starting point for anyone wishing to explore further development, subject to the consents required at the time. Whether you are looking for an exceptional permanent residence, a luxurious family retreat or a prestigious rural property with consolidated income potential, Quinta Fraguil represents a unique opportunity to enjoy one of the most beautiful regions in Portugal, without compromising comfort, sustainability or convenience. More than a simple house, Quinta Fraguil offers a lifestyle characterized by space, serenity and timeless beauty... a place where modern luxury, traditional character and sustainable living coexist in perfect harmony. #ref: 968829
