Countryside Estate with Lake and Pastures

Set within the green countryside of Portugal’s Minho region, this substantial traditional quinta combines architectural character with a calm, private atmosphere. Constructed in stone and extending across 450 square metres, the home has been thoughtfully arranged for shared time and quiet retreat, with five bedrooms, four full bathrooms, a guest cloakroom, a dedicated study, a generous kitchen, a formal dining room and a double living room finished with parquet flooring.

The interiors feel refined yet welcoming, balancing the solidity of the original stone architecture with comfortable spaces suited to families and groups. Large rooms offer an easy sense of scale, while the surrounding countryside views bring softness and tranquillity to the home throughout the day.

The estate encompasses 2.5 hectares of rural grounds, creating a peaceful setting with open land, a small lake and a resident flock of sheep grazing across the property. A dog also lives on site, an important consideration for anyone with allergies or concerns around animals.

Vila Verde provides essential shops and services, while Braga is within convenient reach. The wider region also offers access to Ponte de Lima, Arcos de Valdevez, Fafe, Guimarães and Peneda Gerês National Park, as well as the vineyards and wine traditions associated with Vinho Verde.

Its generous proportions make longer gatherings feel composed, comfortable and effortless. This is a secluded countryside home intended for rest, conversation and unhurried days. Parties and events are not permitted, and a car is essential for reaching the property and exploring the surrounding Minho landscape.
