Description
Bespoke Designed Eco Home, Panoramic Views, Over 1.3 Hectares of Land
This exceptional property is a masterclass in considered design — conceived from the ground up to frame its most breathtaking asset: sweeping, south-facing views across open countryside and beyond.
Set on a generous plot of over 1.3 hectares, the house has been thoughtfully crafted to showcase those views from every room, while an advanced heating system and solar infrastructure ensure modern, efficient living.
Situated just 9km from the vibrant market town of Oliveira do Hospital, the property enjoys a peaceful rural setting without sacrificing convenience. The cities of Coimbra and Viseu are within an hour's drive, Porto International Airport is approximately two hours away, and the local village offers a café and minimarket for everyday needs.
Arrival & Ground Floor
A pair of grand electric double gates open onto a cobbled driveway that sweeps up to the house — a fitting introduction to what lies within.
The Entrance Hall (4.3m x 2.6m) draws you immediately into the heart of the home, opening into a spectacular open-plan living space where the landscape announces itself through a vast picture window.
The Open Plan Lounge (8.2m x 5.5m) is nothing short of showstopping. With a dramatic double-height ceiling of 5.2m and a floor-to-ceiling picture window, the views are the undisputed centrepiece — complemented by a statement woodburning stove. Patio doors lead directly to the terrace and pool area.
The Open Plan Kitchen (5.1m x 3.1m) is fully fitted and flows seamlessly into the living space, ideal for entertaining. A generous Pantry/Back Kitchen (3.3m x 2.1m) provides excellent additional storage and appliance space.
The Dining Area (3.5m x 2.2m) has its own picture window framing the views, with a side patio door opening onto a covered terrace and steps descending to the garden — perfect for al fresco dining.
A versatile Office/Bedroom (3.7m x 3.5m) features another picture window, while a well-appointed Bathroom (2.6m x 2.3m) offers both a bath and shower.
Split-level stairs lead up to the Master Suite: a serene retreat measuring 5.4m x 3.9m, with fully fitted wardrobes and patio doors opening onto the front terrace and pool area. The Master En-Suite Bathroom (3.5m x 2.7m) completes this private sanctuary.
First Floor
The Landing Area (4.5m x 2.8m) provides separate access to the rear terrace and garden — a lovely spot to start the day.
Two further double bedrooms, each measuring 4.9m x 3.0m, are both beautifully appointed with fitted wardrobes. One opens onto a generous side terrace of 30m², while the other leads to a front terrace where the views are, once again, simply unforgettable. A Family Bathroom (2.7m x 1.95m) serves both rooms.
Outbuildings & Parking
To the rear of the property, a large covered carport (7.9m x 4.1m) provides ample parking. Adjoining the house is a machine room, a separate WC, and a garage (5.4m x 4.3m) — practical spaces that complement the home's thoughtful layout.
Eco Technology & Sustainability
The home has been engineered for comfort and efficiency in equal measure. A covered terrace wraps around the south-facing elevation to provide natural shading, and high-quality solar glass throughout maintains a pleasant ambient temperature while flooding the interiors with light.
Underfloor heating is provided by an air source heat pump system, individually controlled by thermostats in each room. The system can also contribute to hot water supply and pool heating when required. Six dedicated solar thermal panels supply hot water for the house and pool, while a further ten photovoltaic panels generate electricity for immediate use or store surplus energy in a battery backup system.
The property is connected to mains drainage, water, and electricity, and benefits from fast fibre broadband.
Garden, Pool & Land
The infinity heated swimming pool (10m x 4m) is a jewel of the outdoor space — its uninterrupted views making it one of the most memorable spots on the property. A large surrounding terrace provides ample room for lounging and entertaining, and beneath the pool area lies additional substantial outdoor storage.
The grounds are well-resourced with four wells and a borehole, with all water filtered for use across the property. An abundance of fruit trees dot the landscape, and the driveway is lined with fragrant roses — a charming welcome home at every arrival.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a truly bespoke home where architecture, nature, and sustainability come together in perfect harmony.
