Ribatejo, Ferreira do Zêzere, Portugal

As soon as you arrive, there's a real sense of calm around this property. It's one of those places where you immediately feel the space and the quiet. Set on a generous 8,640 m² plot, fully enclosed and with automatic gates, it offers both privacy and practicality. The land itself is flat and easy to manage, with a lovely mix of fruit trees such as peach, plum, apricot, orange and lemon, along with mature olive trees, so there's even the possibility of producing your own olive oil. There are also two wells, an automatic irrigation system, and a traditional threshing floor that adds a nice touch of local character.

The house has been thoughtfully rebuilt and is laid out over two floors, keeping some of its original charm while bringing in modern comfort. You enter into a small, flexible space that works nicely as a home office or reading area, which then leads into a bright living room with direct access outside. From here, the house flows naturally into a more traditional and cosy part, where you'll find a guest bathroom with shower, the original kitchen area with its fireplace, now fitted with a pellet stove, creating a really inviting space during the winter, as well as a fully set up laundry area.

Towards the back of the house, things open up into a much more contemporary living space. The kitchen and dining area are arranged in open plan, with plenty of natural light coming through large glass doors that connect straight to the outside. The kitchen itself is modern and well equipped, centred around a solid island with white granite worktops and complemented by an American-style fridge. One of the nicest details is the old wood oven, kept in place as a decorative feature, which gives the space a bit of soul. From here, you step out onto a sheltered patio area with a barbecue and wooden pergola, ideal for long meals outside or simply enjoying the surroundings.
Upstairs is the more private area of the house, with three bedrooms in total. The main bedroom is an ensuite with its own bathroom and built-in wardrobe. The other two bedrooms are comfortable in size, one also with a wardrobe, and they share a well-finished bathroom with shower.

In terms of comfort, the house is well prepared for year-round living. It has double glazing with mosquito screens, good insulation throughout, air conditioning in several rooms, solar panels with battery storage, and a 150-litre electric boiler for hot water. It is also connected to mains water and has fibre internet available, which is a big plus for anyone working remotely.
The location in Chãos, within the municipality of Ferreira do Zêzere, offers a nice balance between countryside living and accessibility. You are about 15 minutes from Ferreira do Zêzere, 20 minutes from Tomar, 35 minutes from Leiria and roughly an hour and a half from Lisbon, so while it feels nicely tucked away, you are never too far from everything you need.
