Quinta dos Távora is located in Loivos da Ribeira, in the municipality of Baião. This property was built as a holiday residence for the celebrated and legendary Portuguese family 'Távora' in the 16th century, and is a singular reference in the heritage of the municipality. With an extension of 225,000m2, the Estate comprises a great diversity of magnificent spaces, featuring an imposing coat-of-arms manor with 800m2 of useful area and an interior garden, distributed over 2 floors, surrounded by the most fertile agricultural and forest land. The House, the largest and oldest building in the village, embodies the history and personality of a place that has spanned generations. Holding various architectural styles, it possesses unique characteristics that give it an incomparable appearance, although part of its structure shows visible signs of aging caused by abandonment over a decade. This enchanting location also includes the Chapel of Nossa Senhora da Saúde and a Cross, a pilgrimage stop and gathering place for devotees from neighboring regions until a few years ago. The Cross features the characteristic Portuguese tiles depicting Nossa Senhora da Saúde and a sonnet written in 1955 by Alberto Monteiro de Freitas, the former owner of this bucolic space. In the silence of nature, the panoramic view over the Teixeira river valley can be enjoyed in all its fullness. The property possesses exceptional natural resources: the purity and abundance of water and the richness of the soil make this one of the most desirable places in the region. Springs, water sources and tanks for storage supply all this fertile land. The village fountain is also supplied by one of the springs belonging to the property for several decades. Beyond a singular building, the Estate comprises 3 agricultural and forest parcels with an approximate area of 225,000 m2. For centuries, the main agricultural activity of the property was vine cultivation and respective wine production. Located in a world-renowned wine region, green wine is produced here with unique characteristics that give it a distinctive color, aroma and taste. The restructuring of the hectares of planted vineyards in terraces and platforms enables the growth and development of high-quality grape varieties, combined with the Mediterranean climate that allows excellent grape maturation. The main grape varieties are Avesso and Arinto. Following the tradition of the Távora House, we produce wine in an artisanal manner. The wines are produced in the house's cellar and supporting the wine-making activity, the property has 2 tanks of 30,000 lt, 10 tanks of 1,000 lt, 1 tank of 1,500 lt and 1 of 750 lt, as well as 2 presses. Surrounded by classical vineyards, Quinta dos Távora is also framed by fruit trees: cherry trees, chestnut trees, walnut trees, orange trees, clementine trees, tangerine trees, apple trees, pear trees, plum trees and olive trees are some of the trees that reflect the commitment to sustainability of the biodiversity of an ecosystem where modern and effective techniques have been adopted that promote the diversified maintenance of living soils, flora and fauna. The property also includes, in its highest part, a football field. This sports facility was once used by the village football club. It is currently used occasionally by the local population for physical exercise. If you dream of living in the countryside or wish to invest in a property with tourism potential, this is the perfect opportunity.
