Quinta da Nora combines space, natural resources and strong development potential in a location that balances the tranquillity of nature with proximity to urban amenities.
With its distinctive layout, two road frontages and independent water sources, this property is ideally suited both to a luxury residential project and to distinctive investment concepts, including nature tourism, ecotourism, boutique accommodation, an events venue or a company headquarters.
Located in central Avintes, next to the fire station, the property enjoys views of the Douro River, excellent sun exposure and two road frontages.
With a total area of 6,959 m², reported as recorded in BUPi, Portugal’s property identification platform, the property comprises two separate adjoining registered properties, sold together:

• An urban property of 87 m², on the upper section, containing the remains of a former stone building, now demolished;
• A rural property of 6,872 m², arranged over terraces with old stone retaining walls.

Two road frontages and a range of possible uses
With access from Rua Nova and Rua dos Febros, the property offers scope to explore separate entrances and circulation routes, a relevant feature for a residential or investment project.
The lower frontage directly borders the River Febros and lies along the Rio Febros Trail (PR1 VNG). This green corridor stretches between the rear of Gaia Biological Park and Cais do Esteiro, offering an idyllic setting with restored historic watermills, historic bridges and a rich variety of protected wildlife and plant life.
The existence of two separately registered properties simplifies potential divisions, parcel separations or independent developments, in accordance with the applicable Municipal Master Plan (PDM).
Development potential on the upper section
According to a preliminary study carried out by a qualified professional based on the PDM, the upper section, next to Rua Nova, has an estimated gross construction area of up to 1,484 m², distributed over up to three floors, with the top floor occupying half the footprint.
This framework allows for the exploration of one substantial luxury detached home or two detached homes, within the applicable parameters and subject to municipal confirmation and planning approval.
The remains of the former stone building are an element to consider when assessing a possible reconstruction or renovation project with Gaiurb.
Private water sources, sun exposure and infrastructure
The property has a well on the upper section and a natural spring accessed through a centuries-old stone gallery, described in the information provided as flowing throughout the year. These resources add value for garden maintenance, cultivation and other compatible uses.
The south-west-facing slope benefits from excellent sun exposure, favourable for solar photovoltaic generation and energy-efficient solutions. Applications for financial support in this area may be explored, depending on the programmes and eligibility criteria in force.
Set within an established residential area, the property has public utility networks and infrastructure available on Rua Nova, adjacent to the land.
