Bauernhof Gondar E Orbacém

Some properties impress by their size. Others by their location. This one stands out for the privilege of combining heritage, privacy, and authenticity in one place.

Located in the peaceful parish of Orbacém, in the municipality of Caminha, and benefiting from excellent south-facing sunlight, this magnificent manor estate represents a truly rare opportunity for those seeking quality of life, historical heritage, and a high-potential investment.

Set on a 7,847 m² plot, fully enclosed by imposing granite and schist walls, this property offers an environment of absolute privacy, where traditional Minho architecture is preserved with an authenticity increasingly hard to find.

A house with history

The main residence spans two floors, complemented by a large habitable attic, currently featuring four bedrooms. The grandeur of the architecture is revealed in its extraordinary eight granite arches, about 3 meters high—five facing south and three west—that support an elegant wooden balcony, giving the facade a truly striking appearance.

On the lower floor is a traditional wine cellar where extremely rare original construction elements remain preserved: stone walls about one meter thick, an old granite wine press, a stone sink, and a built-in bench, all testaments to the property’s history and identity.

An independent annex and great versatility

Complementing the main house is a fully independent T1 annex, approximately 10 × 8 meters, consisting of a subterranean schist basement with wooden beams, a bedroom, living room, bathroom, traditional kitchen with fireplace and solid granite sink, plus a pleasant open porch.

The existing layout also allows for the creation of three additional independent units (T0), significantly increasing the property’s accommodation capacity.

This estate has previously operated as premium Local Accommodation, demonstrating excellent income-generating potential. Due to its layout, privacy, and size, it offers exceptional conditions for charming tourism projects, boutique guest houses, retreats, exclusive events, or prestigious family residence.

The property study also identifies high potential for tourism and residential development.

An exterior designed for enjoyment

Each outdoor space has been carefully integrated into the natural surroundings. Highlights include:

- Blue-tiled swimming pool measuring 12 × 6 meters
- Glazed side annexes supporting the pool, with bathrooms and changing rooms—a true T1
- Traditional barbecue
- Private patio of about 150 m², within a paved area exceeding 330 m²
- Schist porch
- Ornamental pond
- Permanent fountain
- Schist well
- Private water spring entrance through a door in the granite wall
- Granite reed bed
- Traditional Cortelho
- Handcrafted tile panel featuring two angels, a unique piece enhancing the property’s heritage value.

Absolute privacy

Few properties can offer the level of exclusivity found here. Approximately 75 linear meters of main granite and schist walls, about 4 meters high, complemented by 130 meters of secondary traditional schist walls, create an environment of security, tranquility, and privacy almost impossible to replicate today.

More than a house, this is a property for those who value heritage, authenticity, and quality of life, without giving up a solid and distinctive investment.
