Description
4+1 bedroom villa with signature architecture, swimming pool, tennis court, and over 2,300 m² of freedom – Santo Tirso – A soulful retreat 20 minutes from Porto.
We present you with a truly unique property: a 4+1 bedroom villa with 255 m² of gross private area, accompanied by a 68 m² multipurpose pavilion, set on a plot of over 2,300 m².
Here, the sound of the city gives way to the croaking of frogs in the lake in front of the house. Days follow the rhythm of dips in a saltwater pool surrounded by greenery. There is space to cultivate, rest, entertain friends, play tennis, or simply let the little ones run free.
The main house – Architecture that respects nature
An original work by architect Noé Diniz, this house represents the synthesis between international modernism and traditional Portuguese architecture, a movement with a strong presence in the north of the country, driven by prominent architects such as Noé Dinis himself.
More recently, the house has undergone occasional renovations by the architecture and design firm Bastir.
It is distinguished by its harmonious relationship with the topography of the land and the way it enhances natural light, the fluidity between spaces, and the connection between interior and exterior. The spaces flow naturally, providing a practical and, at the same time, welcoming experience.
Interior layout:
• Entrance hall
• Master suite with fireplace (heat recovery unit), library, built-in wardrobes, bookshelves, winter garden, and bathroom with shower
• Second suite with built-in wardrobes, bathtub, and balcony surrounded by vegetation
• Two additional bedrooms with built-in wardrobes
• Full bathroom with shower
• Large living room with stone fireplace and direct access to the garden and lake
• Bright dining room
• Functional kitchen with dining area
• Service area with maid's room, bathroom, and storage (area not included in the multimedia material)
The original wooden window frames and shutters are well preserved and functional.
Although ready to move into, this villa needs some repair and maintenance work, offering great potential for personalization.
Multipurpose Pavilion – Versatility with a view
Designed by renowned architect Maria Luísa Penha Souto de Moura, this independent space is ideal for welcoming guests, developing a creative project, working from home, or simply relaxing.
Equipped with:
• Kitchen (stove, extractor fan, fridge-freezer)

• Washing machine and dryer
• Outdoor laundry area with sink
• Wide, unobstructed views
The Outdoor Area – A timeless natural setting
The entire property is surrounded by rich and varied vegetation: fruit trees, ornamental plants, shrubs, and flowers of various species, creating a setting of tranquility and beauty.
In the surrounding area you will find:
• Private tennis court
• Saltwater swimming pool (salt electrolysis treatment) with deck and outdoor shower
• Bathroom for pool use
• Natural lake with water lilies and frogs
• Children's area with swings and toys
• Closed garage for 2 to 3 cars (with additional space for workshop or storage)
