“Solar do Vade” presents itself as a splendid, yet modest, living space next to the confluence of the River Vade with the River Lima, immediately before the Roman bridge, in the ancient village of Ponte da Barca. Access takes place discreetly on the north face of the land. The position of the house guarantees the privacy of its occupants. Careful treatment in capturing natural light guarantees each space its individuality, also underlining in line with the use of unusual quality materials, such as French oak flooring. The whole house, facing South-West, is organized in a clear orientation towards the river, and above all towards the slope of the opposite bank covered by a pristine natural mantle that seems to belong to the house itself. In this way, the best views are simultaneously explored with the best solar orientation. The swimming pool, and the garden, follow one another, on descending platforms that strategically turn the large difference in elevation into a timely sequence of levels progressively closer to the river. A wide variety of uses are allowed, continuously relating the exterior with the interior. The presence of a splendid hall on the lower floor enhances this faculty through a generous ceiling height, which lends greater dignity to this living space, arranged at half height, between the access floor and the swimming pool. The living room has a fireplace on one side, and a lavish terrace on the other. The kitchen, which is located to the side, enjoys an equal extension to the outside. The private area is separated by a door, and contains two spacious bedrooms that share a bathroom. At the top Southeast, in a more reserved area, is the suite - the bathroom here also differentiates the washbasin area from the other functions and, in this case, in addition to the shower, it includes a spacious hydromassage bathtub. All spaces benefit from natural lighting and ventilation and have 211 sqm. On the lower floor (with 211 sqm), in addition to the aforementioned games area, there is another space with a Wc, which can be used indistinctly as a workspace or a complementary bedroom. The support spaces have a garage, with roomy capacity for two cars, an outdoor storage room and a large storage room associated with the swimming pool. The house has electric shutters, automatic gates for exterior access and fully equipped garage, kitchen and laundry. The construction is made of concrete, with capoto coating and occasionally granite stone from the region. The entire floor of the common spaces and bedrooms is in French oak. The extensive window frames guarantee full opening to the outside without loss of thermal or acoustic comfort. Careful covered outdoor spaces provide good shading in the summer season and protection from rain in winter, ensuring its use throughout the year. The extensive outdoor spaces allow for different possibilities of use, whether more open and conducive to outdoor activities, or pure contemplation. The long swimming pool stands out, surrounded by a large terrace, ideal for gatherings, which is encouraged by the barbecue. Direct access to the river, with a small pleasure boat, is the ultimate attribute of the property! The house goes unnoticed in a peaceful natural environment, a short distance from the mouth of the Vade River, despite its proximity to the center of the village, which can be reached in a mere 5 minutes on foot. Equally close are health, commercial and leisure services, such as the local river beach. The Peneda-Gerês National Park is just 12km away and is the best visit card of the entire Lima Valley region, which enjoys enormous notoriety for its wines, Manor Houses, gastronomic richness, natural landscapes of enormous beauty and the characteristic friendliness of its people. The highway network is accessible in 15 minutes via the Ic28, which connects directly to the A27/A3 and from there to Porto International Airport, precisely 1 hour away.
