Luxury Waterfront Estate for Sale in Moncao, Viana Do Castelo,, Portugal

Luxury River Minho Villa on Border with Spain

Panoramic views and easy road access to Spain makes this secluded and private villa extraordinary. Just outside the historic ancient town of Moncao in Portugal, it lies on the River Minho. The Spanish region of Galicia, on the opposite side of the river from the estate, has a "praia fluvial" (river beach), popular with Spanish families in the summer. Nearby is one of the top fishing sections of the river with trout, large shad and even salmon. In front there is a superb boating section of the river, just down from white water rapids popular with kayakers. From here you can actually navigate down to the Atlantic Ocean.

Suitable as a large up market private home or for easy conversion and even expansion to tourism, this large riverfront estate, "quinta", was built to the highest standard. Over 500 square meters of living space is spread over 3 floors and it is located within secluded and private grounds of 10,500 square meters that is walled, fenced and gated. An extensive, long waterfront borders the property which includes a large riverfront gate with boat access. This 6 bedroom "quinta", exclusive property of the area, is of solid granite and brick construction and has been refurbished over the last few years. It's very close to the new Vigo Dry Port. Property prices in this area are set to increase dramatically. Because most of the land is the highest "Urbano" title, development opportunities within the grounds and adjacent land plots exist. There are 3,200 square meters of additional land, suitable and zoned for building, also available for purchase from the owners. Although riverfront building permits are a thing of the past in most cases, this waterfront property is exceptionally rare and desirable because the grounds are already classified "Urbano" and could be developed further.

Specifically, this estate includes: 5 bedrooms, office and/or 6th bedroom, 4 bathrooms, large living room, large TV lounge, guest lounge, dining room, breakfast room, large kitchen, study, large utility room, wash room, "adega" (wine / food store), triple garage, long riverfront border, 510 square meters living space, 10,500 square meters of grounds, fenced off full sized swimming pool with children's section, summer house, gate house, dog kennels, several garden areas, large grape vine area, large fruit garden, two natural streams, elevated position (above flood plane), long granite "cubos" (cobblestone) driveway past the property and down to the large river access gate, security system and video/electronic entry system.
