Residence for sale, Fão VBE63237

A villa by Manuel Ventura, developed entirely on a single floor, located on a private plot of 5,000 m² in the Pinhal de Ofir, between the estuary of the Cávado River and the Atlantic. Six suites, 798.5 m² of built area and more than 4,000 m² of mature garden, on the north coast of Portugal.

The location combines isolation and accessibility. Porto international airport is about 35 km away, the centre of Porto is less than an hour away and the border with Galicia is just over 80 km away. Viana do Castelo and Braga are 25 and 30 minutes away. The property is part of the area of the North Coast Natural Park, between pine forest, dunes and the mouth of the Cávado, with the Quinta da Barca golf course on the other side of the river.

The house was conceived as a continuous horizontal volume, with a discreet and reserved façade. Everything takes place at ground level, without stairs or unevenness, which makes it equally comfortable for permanent family use, to receive several generations or to live here in thirty years. Inside, full-height glazing opens each room to the garden and maintains a permanent relationship with the light and the landscape.

The main residence brings together four generously sized suites, a living room of 51.5 m², laundry, large storage areas and a garage for three cars. The materials were chosen to last: marble, natural stone, walnut wood flooring and minimalist Technal frames.

Outside, more than 4,000 m² of treated gardens surround the house and guarantee privacy around the perimeter. The outdoor pool is heated, there is a grass court prepared for tennis and football, a covered porch and several outdoor seating areas.

An independent annex adds two guest suites, equipped gym, Turkish bath, professional kitchen and living room, allowing reception without interfering with the privacy of the main house.

The result is a property with the scale and amenities of a small private resort, half an hour from an international airport, in one of the most discreet coastal areas in northern Portugal.
