House T3 in Vila Nova de Gaia with electric car charging

About the Property

There are properties. And then there are opportunities that simply do not come around twice.

Casa Reserva, located in Canidelo, Vila Nova de Gaia, is a contemporary residence set within a private 6,830 m² estate in one of the most sought-after locations in Greater Porto.

Due to its size, privacy and configuration, the land also offers potential for the development of a private equestrian project, subject to the appropriate technical and regulatory assessment.

The property is accessed through a private gate, framed by granite walls that immediately announce the distinctive character of what lies beyond. Its contemporary architecture stands out through clean anthracite and timber volumes, combining modern precision with materials of enduring character.

Upon entering, the staircase leading to the upper floor introduces the home's verticality. To the left, the living area unfolds through a double-height ceiling, a built-in fireplace with wood storage niche, a suspended glass mezzanine and floor-to-ceiling glazing that opens directly onto the exterior.

The living room, dining area and kitchen flow seamlessly together, bathed in natural light throughout the day.

Large glazed openings extend onto the deck and swimming pool, creating a natural transition between indoor and outdoor living. The lounge area, landscaped gardens and pool form an environment designed for those who value comfort, privacy and entertaining.

To the right of the entrance, the private wing comprises three bedrooms, including a suite with walk-in closet, a family bathroom and a guest bathroom.

On the upper floor, a cinema room, a full bathroom and a terrace offer sweeping views over Porto, the Douro estuary and the Atlantic Ocean — a truly rare perspective within the region.

Beyond the residence itself, the estate offers exceptional potential for further enhancement, including the creation of a tennis court, padel court, putting green, woodland garden with lake, orchard or any bespoke lifestyle project one may envision.

A true blank canvas in an established and privileged location.

Located just 1,500 metres from the beach, 1,000 metres from Afurada Marina and with quick access to Porto, Canidelo offers the perfect balance between residential tranquillity and urban convenience.

Historical Context

The setting of Casa Reserva is as remarkable as the property itself.

Positioned between the Atlantic Ocean, Quinta Marques Gomes and the historic Paço de Canidelo — traditionally associated with King Pedro I and Inês de Castro, protagonists of Portugal's most celebrated love story — this is a place where landscape and history meet in a singular way.

Local tradition links these lands to the presence of Pedro and Inês, granting Canidelo a special place within Portuguese historical memory.

Centuries later, the area continues to offer the same qualities that once attracted nobility: proximity to the sea, privacy, tranquillity and open views over the Douro estuary and the Atlantic Ocean.

Today, Casa Reserva benefits from this exceptional setting, occupying a unique position within one of Vila Nova de Gaia's most desirable residential areas, where privacy, heritage and quality of life coexist naturally.
