Minho, Amares, Portugal

Located on the banks of the Cávado River, this contemporary-style home is set on a plot of approximately 1000m², offering splendid views of the river and surrounding nature. It is in pristine condition, thanks to the successive renovations carried out over the years.

The layout is simple and intuitive, with the bedroom area located in one wing, connected by a corridor that ensures privacy and easy access to the office, which serves as a transition between the intimate and social areas of the home.

The spacious areas are complemented by high-end materials, such as the stunning marble used in the bathrooms, which extends into the kitchen area with large-format tiles, all harmoniously combined.

The solar exposure is maximized by the large glass openings that run throughout the house, flooding the interiors with natural light.

The open-plan kitchen flows into the dining area, which continues on the side into the living room. All these areas offer incredible views of the swimming pool and panoramic views of the nearby nature.

The house is mainly developed on a single floor, with the lower level set at a different height, dedicated to parking, a spacious and functional laundry area with exterior access, and additional storage space. This lower level also includes a bathroom and a multi-purpose room.

The property is equipped with various technologies to enhance daily living, providing protection, comfort, and leisure, including:

Central vacuum system
HVAC duct system
Surround sound system with speakers indoors and by the pool area
Saltwater pool, economical, ecological, and better at retaining temperature, with a crushed glass filtration system (instead of sand)

Although located in a residential condominium, the house offers near-total privacy due to its design and unique location. The garden features century-old olive trees from the Côa Valley, complemented by careful landscaping.
