Retraite Contemporaine De L'alentejo | Architecture Minimaliste, Nature Et Intimité À Montemor O Novo

In the heart of the Alentejo, in Montemor-o-Novo, lies this distinctive country estate, where the authenticity of traditional Alentejo architecture meets a contemporary, minimalist approach, creating an atmosphere of absolute tranquillity and a deep connection with nature.

Set within a private, fully fenced plot of 8,843 sqm, with a gated entrance, this property has been designed to offer a lifestyle in perfect harmony with its natural surroundings, prioritising natural light, privacy, and a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living spaces.

The residence stands out for its clean architectural lines, whitewashed walls, high ceilings with exposed wooden beams, and expansive glazed surfaces that frame the surrounding greenery, allowing nature to become an integral part of the home.

At the heart of the social areas is a spacious 67 sqm living room, characterised by a warm yet sophisticated atmosphere, with seamless flooring and a suspended central fireplace. The open-plan kitchen, featuring a central island, integrates harmoniously into the space, creating a fluid and inviting setting for entertaining and everyday living.

The private area includes a 20 sqm bedroom featuring a corner fireplace and an oval bathtub positioned beside the bed, creating an intimate and distinctive atmosphere. The bedroom also benefits from a dedicated dressing area with LED lighting and large windows overlooking the garden. All windows throughout the house are equipped with electric blackout blinds, allowing for enhanced control over natural light, privacy, and comfort. The property also features two bathrooms.

Carefully selected details, including natural wood accents, integrated cabinetry, artisan-inspired materials, and a neutral colour palette, reinforce the property’s unique character, combining functionality, elegance, and simplicity.

Outside, the terraces naturally extend the living areas and lead to the swimming pool, surrounded by relaxation areas and vegetation typical of the Alentejo, including olive trees and mature trees. An idyllic setting for enjoying sunny days, alfresco dining, and the peaceful rhythm of countryside living.

The property also offers potential for further enhancement and personalisation. According to information provided by the owner, there is the possibility of extending the built area to up to 250 sqm on a single level or 500 sqm across two floors, subject to confirmation of the applicable planning regulations and supporting documentation.

Located approximately 100 km from Lisbon, around a one-hour drive away, 20 km from Évora, and just a few minutes from the Gandum Hotel, this country estate offers an exceptional balance between the serenity of rural living and convenient access to services, culture, and gastronomy.

More than simply a property in the Alentejo, this is a home designed for those seeking a different way of life, defined by authenticity, simplicity, comfort, and a privileged connection with nature.
