Location, location..
It is not just the fact this is one of the very few villas / quintas in Portugal or Spain that overlooks and has direct access to such a large beautiful river, but the fact it is located in one of best areas (air quality, virtually no crime, etc.) and has immediate proximity / direct access to major transport hubs, plus a vast array of Portuguese and Spanish facilities / services which you can pick and chose from. The sidewalk cafes and restaurants of Moncao Portugal are 3 minutes away, the tapas bars of Salvaterra Spain 5 minutes away, the city of Vigo is only 20 minutes from here.



Luxury Waterfront Portugal Property On River Minho Border With Spain

For sale / investment: Large quality build Portuguese waterfront property ("quinta") with panoramic views of and easy road access to Spain. Secluded and private within extensive grounds, literally just outside the historic ancient town of Moncao (Monção) in Portugal, just across the River Minho (Rio Minho / Río Miño) from Salvaterra de Miño in the Spanish region of Galicia. Twenty minutes drive to Vigo Spain, an hour to Porto and the River Douro, 12 minutes to the new Iberian high speed rail station at Valenca (Valença). Opposite a "praia fluvial" (river beach) popular with Spanish families in the summer, adjacent to one of the top fishing sections of the river (trout, large shad and even some salmon), in front of a superb boating section of the river, just down from white water rapids popular with kayakers.

Ideal to keep as an exclusive private home and estate, to add some log cabins for tourism purposes, or to add additional properties in the extensive grounds.

This substantial riverfront home is almost certainly the top luxury property of its kind for miles. Over 500 square meters of living space set out over three floors and located within secluded, private (walled, fenced and gated) grounds of around 10,500 square meters; these with an extensive / long waterfront border plus large riverfront gate / boat access to the river. This 5 / 6 bedroom quinta (large / important property of the area) is of solid granite plus rendered brick construction and has been lovingly improved by present owners over the last few years. It is very close to, though just outside earshot and view of the new Vigo Dry Port (Vigo port expansion); property prices in this area are set to increase dramatically, some like this may well double over the next 10 years (see Property Price & Facts).

Because most (about 9,000 sqm) of the land is the highest "Urbano" title, development opportunities within the grounds and adjacent land plots also exist; further land of 3,200 sqm suitable / zoned for building is also available from the owners. Although riverfront building permits are a thing of the past in most cases, making this waterfront property exceptionally rare and desirable (plus guaranteeing its own seclusion), because the grounds are already "Urbano" in theory they could be developed further. The new owners could keep this quinta simply as one of the most prestigious homes in the region, or perhaps add one or more holiday cabins, or possibly build two additional homes in the secure grounds (another on the adjacent plot) or even turn everything over to an exclusive small conference centre or hotel. With even more land available (the woodland next to it and an adjacent strip of riverfront land are also available by their respective owners for sale), there are lot of options open for this property overlooking Spain in Portugal.
