Ribatejo, Santarém, Portugal

Ref. 0209
Surrounded by its own olive grove, this single-storey four-bedroom house sits on a mixed plot of 7,400 m2 in Alcanhões, in one of those rare positions where you have the complete peace of the countryside without giving up proximity to the city. Santarém's train station is around 10 minutes away, making this an ideal area for families seeking quality of life without losing their connection to work in the major cities.
Access is via a lane lined with centuries-old olive trees that leads up to the house, announcing the character of the property from the outset. Built in 2011, the house is laid out on a single floor, with 256 m2 of gross private area, and stands out for the generosity and brightness of all its rooms, airy, spacious spaces bathed in natural light. The house has recently been almost entirely repainted and is ready to move into.
The heart of the home is a large living room with a fireplace and a stone-clad feature wall, with direct access to the outside through wide glazed doors. The kitchen, spacious and fully equipped, has a granite worktop, induction hob, oven, and extractor, and connects to a separate dining room, ideal for hosting family and friends over long meals. The terracotta tile flooring lends the warm, welcoming character typical of Ribatejo homes.
The private wing is laid out with clarity: three spacious bedrooms, one of them en-suite with a private bathroom and closet, plus a study that naturally meets the demands of working from home. The house also has a second full bathroom, with a bathtub and double washbasin, and a guest WC.
Outside, the property reveals its full potential. A porch facing the olive grove, with a barbecue and a brick wood-fired oven, extends the home's social life into the warmer months and offers a privileged setting for outdoor meals. The pool, surrounded by lawn and olive trees, invites you to relax with a view over the fields. There is also a closed garage for a car, an outbuilding for storing garden machinery and tools, and a chicken coop.
The productive olive grove is one of this property's great charms: it yields between 300 and 500 litres of olive oil per year, depending on the weather, a rare opportunity to combine residential living with the region's agricultural tradition.
For its scale, versatility, and setting, this is a property with a dual reading: it works equally well as a comfortable family home or as a small country estate for leisure and production. Either way, it offers a way of life that combines space, nature, authenticity, and a truly practical location.
