House T6 in Góis with virtual tour

Six-Bedroom Villa with Riverside Garden | Architect-Designed 1950s Home

Just a short walk from the River Ceira and the river beaches of Góis, Casa dos Linhares is a property with a distinctive architectural identity, designed by Portuguese architect Raúl Tojal. Construction began in 1957, with the symbolic laying of the foundation stone in the presence of the family and the local parish priest. 

The house's architectural character is reflected in its design around a spacious central hall, as well as in the attention paid to materials and details. Notable features include the wooden floors and staircase, together with the decorative ceramic tiles that extend throughout the entrance hall, along the staircase and into the upper-floor hall, creating a sense of visual and architectural continuity between the two levels. Outside, decorative tiles also feature on the covered terrace and balcony, reinforcing the house's distinctive character. The porch also features a decorative tile panel by Battistini. 

Set on a 2905 sqm plot, Casa dos Linhares offers 500 sqm of gross private floor area and 100 sqm of ancillary floor area, arranged over two floors. 

The ground floor accommodates the main living areas, including a spacious living oom with a fireplace decorated with Delft-inspired tiles and direct access to the covered terrace, creating a natural connection between indoor and outdoor living. The dining room is connected to the living room through concealed sliding doors, allowing the two spaces to be used either together or independently. This floor also includes a kitchen with a breakfast area and a space formerly used as an ironing room, which connects to the original staff quarters, comprising a bedroom and bathroom. A study, guest WC and storage room complete the layout of this floor. 

The upper floor is dedicated to the private living quarters, comprising five bedrooms with dressing rooms, one of which is ensuite, while two enjoy direct access to the balcony. This floor also includes two additional bathrooms serving the bedrooms, a library and a room originally intended for household linen storage, now converted into a bedroom, offering flexibility in how the different spaces can be used. 

Outside, the 2905 sqm plot provides generous green space surrounding the house, offering privacy, tranquillity and plenty of room to enjoy outdoor living. The terrace and balcony further enhance the connection with the outdoors, allowing residents to appreciate the property's natural surroundings. The house also benefits from a garage, with space for two vehicles. 

Located in the town of Góis, the property enjoys a setting characterised by its proximity to the River Ceira and its river beaches, combining tranquillity and a close connection to nature with the convenience of nearby shops and essential services, including schools, a health centre, pharmacies and public services. Road access is provided via the EN2 and EN342, with connections to the A13, A1 and IC6, making Coimbra and other destinations in the region easily accessible. 

More than a house with a history, Casa dos Linhares is a home designed to be lived in, where architecture, generous spaces and a close connection to the outdoors come together to create a property with a character of its own, ready to welcome new stories.
