Contemporary Hillside Residence with Indoor Pool

"Braga is one of Portugal's oldest and most significant cities, located in the northern Minho region just a short drive from Porto."

Perched on a verdant hillside overlooking Braga, this architect-designed residence in Portugal's Minho region presents a refined study in light, texture, and space. The home's pale pine, white walls, and expansive glass façades frame the long, serene countryside views, creating a living canvas that shifts with the passing light.

This is a property where contemporary design and the natural beauty of northern Portugal converge to offer an exceptional lifestyle experience.

Spanning two levels, the interior unfolds around a vaulted living room that serves as the heart of the home, flowing effortlessly into a chef's kitchen designed for grand entertaining with a table capable of seating ten. The accommodation comprises five bedrooms and five baths, offering generous space and privacy. A distinctive wellness wing elevates the living experience, anchored by a heated indoor pool that is swimmable in any season, complemented by a mosaic steam room and a private gym. Outside, walled gardens and a covered terrace offer tranquil settings for al fresco dining while soaking in the valley panorama.

The property is comprehensively connected with gigabit Wi-Fi, a house-wide Sonos audio system, and smart TVs in every room. While world-class amenities are at one's fingertips, the location also provides an ideal base for exploration. The historic city of Braga, with its famed Bom Jesus do Monte sanctuary, is nearby.

Further afield, the vibrant city of Porto and its port wine lodges are within reach, as are the dramatic landscapes of the Douro Valley and the Peneda-Gerês National Park. The Atlantic coast and the Spanish region of Galicia are also accessible, making this home a gateway to the rich cultural and natural tapestry of the Iberian Peninsula.
