About the Property

Tranquility, Space &
Portuguese Character

This five-bedroom villa sits in a privileged position in Arcozelo, where the quiet of the countryside meets the convenience of a historic town. Set directly alongside the banks of the Lima River and the Ecovia cycling path, daily life here means morning walks by the water, fruit picked from the orchard, and the gentle rhythm of rural Portugal.

The main house offers generous, light-filled rooms furnished throughout with solid antique wood pieces. The ground floor opens from a sweeping glazed sunroom — full of plants and afternoon light — into a formal dining room and a spacious living room with fireplace and heat recovery system. Two complete kitchens make the property ideal for multi-generational living or hosting.

Upstairs, two attic bedrooms tuck under handsome pitched timber ceilings, while the main-floor bedrooms open to private balconies with garden views. The property includes a small winery with wine-making equipment, an enclosed garage for two vehicles, and an agricultural water well alongside mains connection.

The historic centre of Ponte de Lima — the oldest town in Portugal, founded in 1125 — is a fifteen-minute walk away, with schools, markets, gardens and daily services all within easy reach.

The Orchard

A Productive Orchard
& Vineyard
