Exquisite 4-Bedrooms Country Retreat with Breath Taking Views, Gardens and Swimming Pool

Located in a charming village just minutes from Amares, this recently renovated villa stands out as a serene private retreat, only 10 km north of Braga and close to the boundary of the Peneda-Gerês National Park. Just a short walk from the Cávado River, the property offers privileged access to nature, including the use of two canoes during the summer months.

Set on a generous 2,865 m² plot, the villa offers 425 m² of private living area and impresses from the moment of arrival with an elegant Japanese-inspired inner garden, carefully designed and enhanced by African stone and marble art pieces. The exterior architecture combines robust natural stone walls with large glass windows, creating a seamless connection between the interior spaces and the surrounding landscape.

The main entrance, finished in maple wood, leads to a spacious and light-filled interior featuring four en-suite bedrooms, two large living rooms and a games room, all with direct access to terraces overlooking the gardens and the Cávado Valley. A refined home office, with views over Japanese maple trees, further reinforces the sense of harmony between architecture and nature. High-quality finishes include floor-to-ceiling marble, natural stone and wood, complemented by generous room proportions and ample storage.

Ideal as an exclusive family residence or a high-end holiday home, the villa is equipped with new air conditioning, a fireplace, modern appliances and aluminium shutters with curtains. The sale does not include most of the furniture, decorative items or artworks, although selected pieces may be included by separate negotiation.

Outdoor features further enhance comfort and leisure, including African stone sculptures, a borehole-fed irrigation system, exterior night lighting, solar panels, a barbecue and outdoor living area, a productive vegetable garden with mature vines and fruit trees, and a garage with capacity for three vehicles.

A truly unique property where comfort, nature and artistic expression come together in one of the most enchanting settings in Northern Portugal.
