4. Oscar Niemeyer’s Only House in Portugal mainland – Melgaço
T2+, 10.000 m² land, 750.000 €

This house is one-of-a-kind: the only known residence in Portugal designed by Oscar Niemeyer, the Brazilian master of modernist architecture and Pritzker Prize winner. Commissioned in the 1950s by a Portuguese emigrant who became Niemeyer’s friend in Rio de Janeiro, the home is full of artistic details — from curved walls to a mural by Nuno San-Payo, and hand-painted Viana tiles.It has not been lived in since the late 1990s and needs serious renovation, but the essence is there: sweeping views, bold geometry, and an approved rural tourism recovery project. For lovers of modernist heritage, this is a chance to restore and own a true architectural sculpture by one of the 20th century’s most iconic designers. S
