Suspended Elegance over the River: A Unique Property with an Infinity Pool – “Gerês”

Between the silence of the landscape and the calm strength of the river, stands this rare house, designed as a refuge of contemporary elegance in full harmony with nature. Here, every line, every material, and every opening were conceived to celebrate light, the view, and the feeling of living in a truly special place, in the vicinity of Peneda-Gerês National Park.

The main residence, on the upper floor, with 2 bedrooms (one master suite), hovers above the surrounding scenery through large glazed openings that frame the landscape as if it were a living work of art. The generous panoramic deck balcony extends the interior space outdoors, creating a privileged stage from which to admire the river, breathe in the landscape, and experience time with greater intensity. The infinity-edge pool reinforces this sense of continuity between architecture and nature, between comfort and contemplation.

On the lower floor, next to the pool, there are three fully independent suites, designed to offer absolute privacy and discreet comfort to family and guests. This layout gives the property remarkable versatility, allowing it to host shared moments without giving up intimacy, and also opens the door to a signature local accommodation concept, whether in the three suites or in the house as a whole.

The architectural language is inspired by Nordic constructions, with exterior wood cladding and an interior where material, light, and simplicity coexist in perfect harmony. The white-painted wooden ceilings, with exposed beams, and the horizontal slatted panels, also in white, add texture, character, and serenity to the spaces. The existing kitchen, in contrast with the predominant white, will be equipped with a hob, oven, extractor hood, microwave, and refrigerator.

Comfort has been carefully considered, with a wood-burning stove, ducted air conditioning, exterior lighting, automatic irrigation, a borehole with its own water supply, electric solar shades outside, and interior blackout blinds, ensuring well-being in every season.

Built in 2024, this property stands out as a piece of contemporary architecture in an exceptional natural setting. More than a house, it is an experience of living: bright, contemplative, and deeply exclusive.
