Casa Tartaruga & Casa Extra Heritage & Potential

In the heart of Portimão’s historic centre, beside the Arade River, this distinctive property combines two adjoining buildings, connected at the rear and offered exclusively as a single acquisition.

Casa Tartaruga is a fully renovated historic residence, recognised for its striking green Portuguese tiled façade. The adjoining Casa Extra has undergone extensive structural and technical renovation, leaving the new owner to complete the interior finishes and shape the project according to their own vision.

Combining architectural heritage, residential appeal and development potential in a central riverside location, this is a rare opportunity with considerable scope.

CASA TARTARUGA

Fully renovated and directly beside the river, Casa Tartaruga blends the character of a historic building with contemporary comfort. Arranged over three floors, it features generous living areas, a fully equipped kitchen, several en-suite bedrooms, a library or TV room with an original fireplace, a lift and terraces overlooking the river and city.

Restored authentic wooden floors, original vaulted ceilings and historic timber beams sourced from old sailing-ship masts give the interiors a distinctive character. Additional features include thermally insulated windows, bathrooms with underfloor heating, an alarm system and a spa area with sauna.

The ground floor is particularly impressive, with a spacious multi-purpose area featuring original vaults and underfloor heating throughout. A separate WC and infrastructure for a fully independent kitchen offer flexibility for a variety of uses, such as a social space, gallery or office.

The property also includes a wine cellar, an interior courtyard, an attic, a private garage, a separate laundry room and ample storage, with direct internal access to Casa Extra.

CASA EXTRA

With its substantial scale and central location, Casa Extra offers a compelling development opportunity alongside the historic residence.

The building has undergone extensive structural and technical renovation. Works include a completely renewed and insulated roof, new window frames with insulated glazing and new exterior doors, renewed electrical installations, new water-supply pipework, refurbished drainage and sewage systems, and renovated, insulated floors. Infrastructure for future kitchens and bathrooms is in place, and the air-conditioning pre-installation has been completed.

The property is being sold with the interior finishes still to be completed, including kitchens and bathrooms. This gives the future owner the freedom to select materials, fittings and finishes to suit their plans and preferred level of specification.

The project provides for four independent residential units: two three-bedroom apartments, one one-bedroom apartment and one studio. Each has its own entrance, individual meters and separate technical infrastructure. A spacious, secluded terrace on the first floor adds valuable outdoor space.

A DISTINCTIVE OPPORTUNITY IN THE HEART OF PORTIMÃO

The combination of a fully renovated historic residence and an adjoining building ready for its next stage of development sets this property apart in the Portimão market.

A rare opportunity to acquire a characterful riverside property while unlocking the potential of a substantial second building, all within a single acquisition.

Casa Tartaruga and Casa Extra are offered exclusively for sale together.
