Ribatejo, Martinchel, Portugal

Set in an exceptionally idyllic lakeside location, this 3-bedroom villa enjoys breathtaking panoramic views over the lake and nearby dam, which lie just beyond the boundary of the land. Surrounded by unspoilt nature yet within walking distance of a village, the property offers a rare blend of peace, tranquility, and everyday convenience.
The villa occupies an impressive 16,520 sqm plot, with land gently sloping down towards the river. Part of the plot is divided by a road. The setting is truly special, ideal for those seeking privacy, open space, and a strong connection with nature.
The house is arranged over two floors, with the main living accommodation located on the first floor. The ground-floor basement, currently unfinished, offers excellent scope for further development, allowing the new owners to create additional living space, guest accommodation, or leisure areas tailored to their needs.
Access to the property is via a tarmac driveway leading directly to the side and rear of the villa, where there is ample paved parking surrounding the house. The main entrance is positioned at the front of the property, with further access available via internal stairs from the garage and an external staircase at the rear, providing flexible and practical entry points.
The villa benefits from pre-installation for central heating, double glazing throughout, and a built-in sound system, enhancing both comfort and modern living.
Upon entering, you are welcomed into a very spacious and bright entrance hallway with tiled flooring. To the right, double wooden doors with glass panels open into a large and light-filled living room. This impressive space enjoys double-aspect windows and patio doors, creating a bright and airy atmosphere while offering seamless access to the outdoor areas. A standout feature of the room is the fireplace with a marble surround and heat recovery system, providing warmth and character. Patio doors lead out to a large rear terrace, perfectly positioned to enjoy alfresco dining and evening drinks while watching the sunset over the lake.
From the lounge, there is access to a well-proportioned kitchen, which is fully tiled and fitted with ample storage cupboards, granite worktops, and built-in appliances including a fridge, dishwasher, hob, and extractor fan, with space allocated for an oven. The kitchen offers generous preparation space and comfortably accommodates a dining table, making it ideal for family life and entertaining. A pantry within the kitchen provides valuable additional storage, and next to it there is a door leading directly to the rear terrace, ideal for outdoor dining.
Returning to the entrance hallway, you will find access to the three bedrooms. The master bedroom, located at the end of the hallway, is a very spacious room featuring large patio doors opening onto a Juliet balcony with stunning views over the dam. The master suite also benefits from a fully tiled en-suite bathroom fitted with a Jacuzzi bathtub, vanity unit, toilet, and bidet, as well as a walk-in wardrobe, completing this impressive principal suite.
The two additional bedrooms are located on the opposite side of the hallway and are both generously sized, featuring built-in wardrobes and windows that provide plenty of natural light. The family bathroom, positioned at the end of the hallway between the bedrooms, is fully tiled, benefits from a window, and is fitted with a bathtub with shower above and glass screen, vanity unit, toilet, and bidet.
The basement level offers a large open-plan area that remains unfinished, presenting excellent potential. This space currently allows for a multi-vehicle garage, extensive storage, or the creation of additional living accommodation, a games room, or even a self-contained guest unit. A toilet is also located on this level. From here, garage doors provide access to the parking area, while patio doors lead to a covered terrace beneath the main terrace, an ideal sheltered area for additional seating or dining.
Outside, the property is surrounded by open countryside, offering a strong sense of privacy and tranquillity, while remaining within walking distance of the village of Martinchel. The location is ideal for those seeking a peaceful rural lifestyle without feeling remote.
