This 2004-built detached home is a rare find — lovingly cared for and genuinely move-in ready, offering the perfect blend of comfortable rural living and modern convenience just 30 minutes from Lisbon airport and 40 minutes from the coast.
Set in a small village close to Carnota and Arruda dos Vinhos — where you'll find schools, shops, a pharmacy and cafes — the property sits on a quiet tarmac road and enjoys far-reaching countryside views.
The House
The well-appointed ground floor features two bright double bedrooms and a family bathroom. The main bedroom benefits from fitted wardrobes, and both rooms have reversible air-conditioning units for year-round comfort. The spacious sitting room is a particular highlight, centred around a brand new 8kW wood burner and opening through French doors onto a balcony overlooking the rear garden — an ideal spot to unwind and take in the surroundings. A generous dining kitchen completes the ground floor.
Upstairs, the insulated first floor offers a large additional room — ideal as a third bedroom, home office or guest suite — along with a second bathroom. Dormer windows with capote insulation provide natural light while framing beautiful open views across the landscape.
Sustainable Living
This home has been thoughtfully equipped for modern, low-impact living. A 4.45kW photovoltaic solar panel system (installed just two years ago) helps keep energy costs to a minimum, complemented by mains electricity, mains water and fibre broadband. The fully fenced plot is accessed via an electric vehicle gate.
The Land & Outbuildings
The 1,200m2 plot has been carefully cultivated and is an absolute delight. Three outbuildings include one with power and lighting, a chicken coop and run, and a fantastic outdoor kitchen complete with sink, barbecue and a pizza and bread oven — perfect for alfresco entertaining. Multiple seating areas are dotted around the garden, making the most of the tranquil setting.
The productive vegetable garden has been enriched with biochar and compost, while an impressive array of established fruit trees includes orange, lemon, cherry, peach, fig, apple, pear, plum, quince, olive, walnut, avocado and mulberry.
The Perfect Escape
Whether you're looking for a permanent rural retreat, a holiday home or a step towards a truly self-sustaining lifestyle, this exceptional property delivers it all — in the beautiful Portuguese countryside, with Lisbon right on your doorstep.
