Renovated from the ruins of an old Portuguese millhouse, Azenhas Carvalhas (the Oak Mills) stands in its own grounds on the edge of the small northern-Portuguese hamlet of Bogadela. The two story, stone-built house was completely rebuilt and extended in 1993, and comprises a fully-fitted kitchen, breakfast nook with original stone bread oven, a riverside dining room with two terraces, and two spacious living rooms (24 sqm each) on the ground floor. The second floor includes a master bedroom with en suite bathroom, two guest rooms and an additional bathroom, as well as an extensive 28 sqm riverside terrace with views of the river and distant hills of Spain.
The terraced grounds extend for 5,000 sqm. (1.25 acres), are partially wooded, and bordered on one side by the Mouro river, providing excellent trout fishing and a natural swimming pool - shallow below the waterfall and 1.5+ metres above.
Ninety minutes north of Oporto, Azenhas is just ten minutes drive from the magnificent Penedes Geres National Park and a similar distance from the Alvarinho wine centre of Monçào. The house is also just ten minutes drive from the Spanish border and thirty minutes from the excellent shopping and beaches of Spain's most important fishing port, Vigo, which also offers some of Europe's finest shellfish and the closest airport for Madrid, London and onwards.
