House buy in Trofa Braga

Excellent opportunity to acquire an enchanting 17th Century country manor, in northern Portugal's Vinho Verde Region. Located in Arco de Baúlhe, outside historic Cabeceiras de Basto, in eastern Minho, this centuries-old estate offers charm and beauty in equal measure. Prominently situated on the town's main roadway, its imposing entrance along a cobblestone street features a family crest, large double doors and a wide stone staircase with tasteful adornments. Inside, the winding terrace and interior courtyard provide picturesque views of the green countryside, complemented by the estate's private boxwood and camellia gardens. The tranquil beauty of this property is undeniable, complete with natural spring water. The main structure, a two-storey restoration project, roughly 75% completed, is in excellent condition. On the main floor, rich dark wood floors and ceilings provide a warm contrast to whitewashed walls and rustic stone. Living spaces are large and generous, with 6 bedrooms, 2 three-piece washrooms, an office and private chapel. Vaulted ceilings in the dining and living rooms, each featuring stone fireplaces, add to the grandeur of the home, further accentuated by luxurious design elements such as a marble-encased hallway window - sure to be a talking piece for any visitors to the home. An updated kitchen with modern appliances and wall-to-wall stone countertops provides practicality and a touch of contemporary design. The lower level of the manor, accessed below the winding arched terrace, is dedicated to fieldwork. Rustic stone walls provide great character to the wine cellar, stables, garage and storage spaces, all linked by a common walkway. These spaces are yet to be restored, providing great potential for creative uses and design. Well-connected via regional highways to neighbouring cities Guimarães, Amarante or Vila Real, enjoy the flowing scenery of hills and valleys during your short 50 min. drive from Porto airport, in one of Northern Portugal's most characteristic regions. * Existing classic furniture may be negotiated at extra cost.
