Leiria, Caldas da Rainha, Portugal

Character-Filled Country Home with Guest Annex, Vineyards, Covered Pool and Panoramic Rooftop Views.

Set in a peaceful rural position near Moita, in the Óbidos countryside, this freestanding property combines traditional character with modern comfort. It offers versatile accommodation, generous outdoor space and breathtaking panoramic views.

The main house opens into a spacious open-plan lounge and dining area, with a traditional wine press as its focal point. The kitchen has a practical larder, and a cloakroom with toilet and basin serves the living areas. There are four well-proportioned bedrooms, including a principal suite with en-suite bathroom, and a family bathroom for the others. A wood-burning stove and a pellet stove keep the house warm in winter, and the property supplies its own firewood from old vines removed from the vineyard each year. The local climate and the construction of the house mean air conditioning has not been needed.

Outside, a covered patio overlooks the 10.3 x 3.7 m swimming pool, which has a five-section telescopic enclosure. The water normally stays above 25°C for most of the bathing season, usually until the end of October. The courtyard has a dedicated barbecue area for entertaining.

The rooftop terrace is a standout feature, with a seating area and spectacular 180° to 270° views over the surrounding countryside. A photovoltaic system of approximately 3.6 kW is installed across the main house and annex roofs. The property has three wells, one in regular use, plus rainwater cisterns that collect run-off from the roofs and paved areas, a head start for anyone wanting a more self-sufficient rural life.

A separate outbuilding houses a traditional adega, a wine-making area and a garage. It suits small-scale wine production, storage, a workshop or extra practical space.

The self-contained annex is ideal for guests, extended family or rental income. It has an open-plan lounge with pellet stove, a kitchen, a bedroom and a bathroom.

The grounds include 149 fruit trees and plants, among them olive, apple, citrus, almond, peach, plum, walnut and cherry.

The vineyard originally covered approximately 1.5 hectares, of which an estimated 1 hectare remains under cultivation. It contains traditional Portuguese grape varieties, predominantly Boal, Vital and Fernão Pires. Many of the original vines are believed to be 60-80 years old.

Between 2022 and 2024, additional vines of the traditional Portuguese varieties Vital, Fernão Pires and Loureiro were planted in the vineyard. Due to challenging weather conditions, the development of these young vines has been uneven.

Separately, the orchard near the house contains 86 red-wine vines, including Touriga Nacional, Syrah, Tinta Roriz and Tinta Barroca. These produced approximately 100 litres of red wine in 2025.

The vineyard is harvested by the professional winemaker Espera Wines, which collected approximately 1,050 kg of grapes from the property in September 2026. The property offers an attractive opportunity for wine enthusiasts to continue its winemaking tradition.

With its character, space, vineyards, fruit trees, entertaining areas, renewable energy and views, this is a rare opportunity to enjoy country living at its best.
