HOUSE IN HERDADE DO ZAMBUJEIRO — where nature and architecture find their balance.

More than a house. A way of living. Some places become part of our story. At Herdade do Zambujeiro, a unique property was born, designed for those seeking space, privacy, and a genuine connection to nature — without sacrificing comfort, architecture, and contemporary sophistication.

Set in a landscape marked by centuries-old pine and cork oak trees, this project unfolds on approximately 20,760 m², where architecture and landscape were conceived as one. The result is a truly unique residence: three independent buildings, a pool, leisure areas, and expansive outdoor spaces designed to offer a living experience that extends far beyond the walls of the house.

THE MAIN RESIDENCE

The main house has 491.90 m² of gross private area, all on a single floor. The architecture was designed to create a natural relationship between indoor and outdoor spaces, emphasizing light, flow, and privacy.

The private area includes four suites and an office, plus a guest bathroom, while the social area stands as the heart of the home. A spacious living room connects with the dining room, highlighted by its double-height ceiling, creating an atmosphere that is both elegant and welcoming.

The kitchen is generous and functional, designed to accommodate both daily family life and social gatherings, connecting to the laundry room and an independent service entrance.

Materials in neutral tones, contemporary lines, and references to traditional architecture allow the house to blend naturally into its surroundings. Here, luxury is not in excess but in harmony.

GUEST HOUSE

The living experience at Zambujeiro 234 extends to the Guest House, a second residence with 114.65 m² of gross private area, designed to host family and friends with complete independence.

In an open concept, it includes an equipped kitchen and bathroom, benefiting from two outdoor spaces with different orientations. To the north, a terrace opens onto the valley. To the south, a larger outdoor area connects directly to the pool.

This solution transforms hosting into more than just lodging: it offers guests the privilege of living the property from within.

SUPPORT SPACE AND GARAGE

Near the main entrance is the support building, with 154.90 m² of footprint, designed to meet practical needs and experiences that are part of this lifestyle.

Covered parking for two cars, electric charging, technical areas, and changing rooms are complemented by spaces for exercise and leisure.

On the lower floor, a large space allows for various uses — from a private gym to a studio, creative room, or social area — adapting to the needs and interests of those who live here.

Outside, the terrace opens onto the valley and the area prepared for a future sports field.

NATURE AS PART OF THE ARCHITECTURE

In this property, the landscape is not just a backdrop. It is an integral part of the project.

The intervention was designed to preserve the natural identity of the land, maintaining existing trees and complementing them with new vegetation.

Between the main residence and the Guest House, a south-facing clearing hosts the pool area, creating the perfect space for long summer days, moments of rest, and gatherings with family and friends.

Pedestrian paths connect the different buildings, while discreet and efficient outdoor lighting accompanies circulation and gathering spaces, extending the property’s experience beyond daylight hours.

There is also a prepared and leveled area for the future creation of a sports field, allowing this project to continue evolving with the family and their lifestyle.

COMFORT WITH A VISION FOR THE FUTURE

The exclusivity concept of this property also includes efficiency and comfort. The A+ energy certification reflects a conscious approach to resource use, combining energy performance, comfort, and construction quality.

Completion is scheduled for the first quarter of 2027, allowing for some customization.

A REFUGE. A HOME. AN EXPERIENCE.

Imagine starting the day among cork oaks and pines. A peaceful breakfast outdoors. A swim in the pool before the day begins. An afternoon dedicated to sports, work, or simply the pleasure of doing nothing.

At day’s end, gathering those who matter most around a table as the landscape transforms with the evening light.

This is the essence of Herdade do Zambujeiro. A place designed to live, host, rest, and create memories.

Because some properties offer a house. This one offers a way of living.

Where nature and architecture find their balance.

See you soon.
