Leiria, Almoster, Portugal

Discover a rare opportunity to own an established Portuguese farmstead where country living, winemaking, organic growing and outdoor life come together in one very special property.

Set within a peaceful protected area where no new houses can be built, this private and fully fenced farmstead enjoys wonderful distant views towards the Serra do Sicó and a welcoming international neighbourhood of Portuguese and overseas residents. Despite its tranquil rural setting, shops, services and everyday amenities are within approximately 10-20 minutes.

The property with it's secure automatic gate for fully fenced property, offers a comfortable two-bedroom main house, together with separate guest accommodation comprising a bedroom, sunny room and shower facilities - ideal for visiting family and friends, teenagers or independent guest space.

A substantial workshop/workroom with built-in storage, wood-burning stove, washing facilities and private sauna provides an exceptional space for hobbies, projects, creative work or simply relaxing. There is also a separate farm cellar/wine cellar (adega) equipped for traditional winemaking.

The land is where this farmstead really comes to life. Around 7,000m² includes an established vineyard of more than 300 vines, producing grapes for the owners' own wine, together with fruit trees, olive trees and a productive organic vegetable garden with greenhouse and Hügelkultur raised beds.

The operational adega includes traditional ceramic talha amphorae, grape crusher, press, corking equipment, bottles and other winemaking tools, offering the new owners the rare opportunity to continue making their own wine from their own vineyard. The current owners are happy to pass on their knowledge and experience.

The farmstead has been cultivated using organic and biodynamic principles, with no synthetic fertilisers or sulphur used by the current owners. Techniques include biodynamic preparations, Bokashi, effective microorganisms and Hügelkultur, creating a productive and ecologically minded growing environment.

The orchard includes a wonderful variety of fruit, including apples, pears, quince, apricots, plums, peaches, lemons, persimmons, pomegranates and berries, while the olives can be taken to a local mill for oil production.

The house itself is well engineered and insulated, with solar hot water, an efficient all-electric fitted kitchen, excellent storage and efficient wood-burning stoves. It is offered semi-furnished and is ready to enjoy from day one.

Outside, the swimming pool, productive land, vineyard, views and peaceful surroundings create exactly the kind of relaxed outdoor lifestyle for which rural Portugal is becoming increasingly sought after.

This is much more than a house with land. It is an opportunity to take over an established way of life - grow your own food, tend your own vineyard, make your own wine, welcome friends and family, work on projects, enjoy the sauna and pool, and become part of a friendly international rural community.

For anyone dreaming of owning an authentic Portuguese farmstead with the infrastructure, land and knowledge already in place, this is a property with genuine character and possibilities.
