Features and description
Secluded Country Estate | Saltwater Pool | Panoramic Valley Views | A+
Tucked away in the rolling hills of central Portugal, this enchanting country house offers a rare combination of absolute privacy, rustic character, and breathtaking natural surroundings. The only soundtrack here is birdsong - a world away from the noise of modern life, yet remarkably well connected.
The Setting
The property sits within over 5,500m2 of beautifully varied grounds, encompassing flat lawns, terraced gardens, and an array of established fruit trees. A private water mine feeds the land, offering excellent potential for further development of the gardens and grounds. The crowning centrepiece is a stunning 12m x 3m saltwater swimming pool, positioned to make full use of the spectacular views sweeping down across the valley below.
Location
Despite its seclusion, the property is just 6km from the village of Maçãs de Dona Maria and under 20 minutes from the vibrant market town of Ansião, where you'll find all everyday amenities and services. The unesco World Heritage city of Coimbra is accessible in under 40 minutes, while both Lisbon and Porto international airports are approximately 1 hour 50 minutes away - perfect for those looking to escape without being truly off the map.
The Accommodation
Main House
Arrival is through a generous, authentic covered terrace that sets the tone perfectly - rustic, welcoming, and immediately opening onto a fabulous sun terrace overlooking the pool and countryside beyond.
The interior is thoughtfully laid out across two levels:
Kitchen (5.2m x 2.9m) - fitted with a wood-burner back boiler that powers the central heating system
Dining Room (5.1m x 3.8m) - dual aspect, flooded with natural light
Bathroom (2.8m x 2.4m) - with shower and WC
Bathroom (2.8m x 2.6m) - a charming retreat with bath, almost a private spa
Master Bedroom (4.2m x 3.3m) - reversible air conditioning and a picture window perfectly framing the pool and valley views
Bedroom (3.1m x 2.5m)
A characterful wooden staircase descends to:
Lounge (6.8m x 4.1m) - a generous living space with a wood-burning stove and patio doors that open directly onto the pool terrace - an effortless flow between inside and out.
Guest Annexe
Accessed via the covered terrace, a completely separate accommodation space is ideal for guests, extended family, or rental income potential:
Bedroom (3.5m x 3.4m) - with wood-burning stove, WC, and wash basin (2.3m x 1m)
Bonus Space
Beneath the terrace lies a further area of 8.5m x 3.5m, already plumbed and wired, offering exciting potential for conversion into additional guest accommodation, a home office, studio, or workshop - a blank canvas ready to be shaped to your vision.
Practical Features
Mains water & electricity
Solar hot water
Septic tank
Satellite internet
Two covered carports
Dedicated wood store
Energy rating: A+
Whether you're searching for a permanent sanctuary, a holiday retreat, or a versatile property with income potential, this estate delivers on every front - peace, privacy, character, and a connection to the very best of the Portuguese countryside.
