Solar Barqueiros – Barqueiros Manor House​​​​ – 30 minutes to Porto airport                             

This substantial manor house is offered for sale for the first time in its history. Located on a wide avenue in the town centre of Barqueiros, municipality of Barcelos, this 1862 property is in its fifth generation of family ownership.

Requiring renovation to bring it back to its original splendour, this is a unique opportunity for a buyer to stamp their own mark on this iconic, original and substantial masterpiece.

Arranged over three floors with a generous 800m2 of living space, Solar Barqueiros can be remodelled as a family home but its size and versatile layout favour conversion into a boutique hotel, B&B accommodation or care home, subject to appropriate planning permission. 

This is a rarely-available historic property which remains largely unaltered, with original features including ornate decorative plaster cornicing and ceiling roses, a beautifully crafted wooden staircase and original glass inserts in many doors.

The property stands in 2.4 hectares (5.9 acres) of level land, ideal for homegrown produce, horse paddock or other type of animal husbandry. There is ample scope for a swimming pool and additional leisure facilities for sport, therapies, retreats, weddings and events.

The location couldn´t be better: this can be your rural retreat in a town centre setting. Situated at the quiet end of a broad avenue with little passing traffic, its position means restaurants, bakery, pharmacy, supermarket, petrol station and church all are within a five-minute walk.

Porto’s city centre is an hour away and the beach at Apúlia is a mere 10 minutes drive. Porto’s Francisco Sá Carneiro  airport lies to the south and the city of Braga to the east; both are 30 minutes by car. The county town of Barcelos is 17 minutes away and offers a wide range of shopping, dining and leisure facilities.

Solar Barqueiros is ideal for a buyer seeking an historic, characterful and spacious property with land, connected to a town and close to an airport.
