A 1930s fixer-upper in Vila Real awaits a thoughtful restoration

All the bones are in place

Built in 1937 from local schist stone, this 996sqm country house in Campeã captures the enduring character of northern Portugal’s architecture. Its double-fronted façade and tall sash windows speak to an era of proportion and craft, while original mouldings, high ceilings and carved chimneypieces preserve the building’s historic framework. It’s currently listed with WGP for €495,000.

Inside, five bedrooms and four bathrooms are arranged across a generous footprint, with scope to further shape the living space. The current owners began a careful restoration, erasing decades of neglect while maintaining the building’s integrity. Floors have been stripped and sanded, and the home is ready for the next chapter of renewal.

Set on a 2,095sqm garden, the property includes a pool, terrace and wine cellar. Mature trees line the grounds, offering shade and a sense of permanence. Light from the southeast softens the solid stone architecture and connects the house to its rural surroundings.

Located near Vila Real, Campeã is framed by mountain scenery and vineyard landscapes yet remains accessible to regional centres. For those drawn to architecture with substance and potential, this is a rare opportunity to complete a restoration already grounded in care.
