Detached House, Évora de Alcobaça, Leiria

A home with history, an extraordinary landscape, and a place you will simply want to stay. Set in a beautiful rural setting just a few minutes from the centre of Alcobaça, this detached century-old property, completely renovated in 2007, combines the character and authenticity of traditional Portuguese architecture with the comfort of a home designed for modern living. Standing on a magnificent 1,200 m² south-facing plot, the property enjoys exceptional sun exposure and truly breathtaking panoramic views over the mountains and countryside surrounding Alcobaça. The open, uninterrupted landscape can be enjoyed from virtually every part of the property, creating an exceptional sense of peace, privacy and connection with nature. Inside, the character of the house is immediately apparent. The impressive living room, with a ceiling height reaching approximately 6 metres, creates a remarkable sense of space and volume. Laminated timber beams, natural stone finishes and a traditional wood-burning stove give the room warmth and personality, making it the true heart of the home during the cooler months. The renovation was carefully designed to preserve the identity and charm of the original building while introducing modern levels of comfort and efficiency, including thermal-break window frames, quality materials and carefully selected finishes. The property currently offers 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, a fully equipped kitchen and generous living areas. The spacious attic also provides excellent potential to create two additional bedrooms, a home office, leisure area or private guest accommodation. Outside, the approximately 1,200 m² plot offers endless possibilities: a swimming pool, outdoor lounge, landscaped gardens, vegetable garden, orchard, or simply the opportunity to preserve its natural surroundings and enjoy the extraordinary views. The property also benefits from two private wells with an abundant water supply, a particularly valuable feature for garden irrigation, cultivation and other outdoor uses. Despite its peaceful countryside setting, the property enjoys an extremely convenient location: Alcobaça — 7 minutes Nazaré Beach — approximately 20 minutes São Martinho do Porto Beach — approximately 17 minutes Lisbon Airport — approximately 1 hour A privileged location that allows you to enjoy the tranquillity of the countryside without sacrificing proximity to the city, the beaches of Portugal's Silver Coast and excellent road connections.
