Located approximately 50 minutes from Porto and 20 minutes from Guimarães, this magnificent historic estate is situated in Cabeceiras de Basto, in the district of Braga, within Portugal’s Minho region.

Set within approximately five hectares of land, the property features extensive olive groves, chestnut trees, vineyards, a wide variety of fruit trees, a natural water spring, a traditional stone water tank and camellias in a range of colours, all contributing to its enchanting setting.

There is also the possibility of constructing a swimming pool, subject to the preferences of the future owners and the necessary approvals.

The manor house offers a total construction area of 686 m², comprising 383 m² of gross private area and 303 m² of ancillary space.

The accommodation includes two beautiful reception rooms with fireplaces and views over the surrounding landscape, a kitchen with a wood-fired oven, a library, four en-suite bedrooms, a guest cloakroom and two stone balconies overlooking the surrounding hills.

The entire interior has recently been restored, preserving the original finishes and architectural features of the period. High-quality materials were used throughout the renovation, while the kitchen and bathrooms were modernised to meet contemporary standards of comfort.

The entire house benefits from heating, in addition to the various fireplaces found throughout the property.

The estate is particularly well suited to rural tourism, an events venue or those seeking an exceptional historic residence.

Almost 500 years old, this estate once belonged to the Viscount of Pindela, a noble title created by King Pedro V of Portugal.

The property benefits from convenient access to the A7, A11 and A3 motorways.
