Restored Historic Estate with Award-Winning Pool and Panoramic Views

Set between the Atlantic Ocean and the lush mountains, this exceptional historic estate combines traditional Portuguese character with carefully considered contemporary living in a truly distinctive natural setting.

Dating from 1905, the original property has undergone an extensive restoration, transforming the former ruins into an elegant residence while preserving the architectural character and heritage of the original buildings. High-quality materials and modern comforts have been incorporated throughout, creating a property that feels authentic yet entirely suited to modern living.

The estate comprises four separate buildings set within extensive grounds, offering an excellent combination of privacy, versatility and accommodation.

At the heart of the property is the main residence, arranged across two floors. A spacious, fully equipped kitchen retains its original wood-burning oven, providing a striking connection to the history of the house. The open-plan living and dining area offers a generous and welcoming space for entertaining and family life, complemented by air conditioning.

The main house provides three en-suite bedrooms, all with air conditioning, with two benefiting from private balconies overlooking the surrounding landscape.

A former wine cellar has been converted into an independent studio and currently operates as rural tourism accommodation in the Casa de Campo category. Completely self-contained, it comprises a double bedroom, living area, fully equipped kitchen and private bathroom, providing excellent accommodation for guests or the potential for continued tourism use.

A separate building accommodates the technical facilities, including a 500-litre heat pump, two solar collectors and a reception area serving the tourism accommodation.

The exterior spaces are one of the defining features of the estate. The swimming pool enjoys spectacular views across the northern coastline and surrounding mountains and features an elegant waterfall. Its design was recognised nationally, receiving first place in Portugal's 2023 Pool of the Year awards.

Alongside the pool, a generous terrace creates an exceptional outdoor entertaining area, complete with a traditional wood-burning oven and barbecue. Two additional bathrooms with hot water facilities serve the pool and exterior areas, while the property also benefits from a private garage.

Combining historic architecture, independent guest accommodation, extensive grounds and remarkable outdoor spaces, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully restored Portuguese estate with both residential appeal and established tourism potential.
