COUNTRY HOUSE
Type
Granite walls sixty centimetres thick, on the old village square of Campeã, high on the slopes of the Marão: a double-fronted house already on the registers by 1937, now beginning its revival.
Old Stone House stands at the heart of Campeã, a mountain village on the slopes of the Marão, 727 metres above sea level and a short drive from Vila Real. Built in dressed granite, with walls some sixty centimetres thick, the double-fronted house was already on the land registers by 1937. It sits between the old village square and the path to the parish church, a few steps from the paved track locals call the Roman Road, for centuries the main route across the mountain.
Laid out in the traditional manner of Trás-os-Montes, with working rooms at ground level and living quarters above, the main house offers around 767 sqm of gross built area. Tall sash windows, high ceilings, original plasterwork and period chimneypieces give the rooms a quiet grandeur, and with façades on all four sides, light moves through the house from morning to evening. The current owners have begun its revival, restoring the floors room by room, and the house has a wine cellar, a fireplace and central heating.
The plot extends to approximately 2,734 sqm, including more than 2,000 sqm of mature garden with established trees, terraces for outdoor dining, parking and a pool set in deep green. Two smaller stone houses on the grounds, now in ruins, offer scope for a guest house or studio, subject to licensing. For a buyer seeking a granite country house in northern Portugal with history, space and room to complete its next chapter, this is a rare opportunity.
