Moradia T4 For Sale In Sesimbra

Villa Magnolia, a beautiful, secluded four-bedroom Provençal-style country house near Sesimbra.

Discover Villa Magnolia, a stunning 220 m² French Provençal-style country house featuring various annexes, leisure amenities, and utilities that cater to all your needs for a cozy, high-quality rural lifestyle.

All this is set in a very private and secluded area in Charneca da Cotovia, just 6 km from the picturesque and historic fishing village—now a highly touristic town—of Sesimbra.

This property not only offers a variety of leisure options and solutions but has also been designed to be extremely self-sufficient, nearly 100%, ensuring proper and sustainable maintenance at a very low cost. Further details on this self-sufficiency and sustainability are provided later in this presentation.

To give you a clearer idea of the excellent outdoor features before entering the main house, let us describe them:

The villa is situated on a 3750 m² plot with a diverse layout of independent areas and leisure solutions.

- A 50 m² swimming pool equipped with counter-current motors for active and athletic swimming dominates the area to the left of the entrance. This pool is flanked by a 202 m² terrace.
- In the pool area, you will also find an original Finnish sauna, bathrooms, shaded rest and exercise areas, a chill-out zone with long teak wood loungers, and even a solar-heated pool shower. These service and leisure spaces total 66 m².

To the right of the pool, upon entering, there is a beautiful, long grassy garden and a long paved area allowing parking for up to seven vehicles, two of which are under a carport already equipped with electric vehicle chargers.

The lovely and extensive 600 m² lawn ends at an exquisite 20 m² pond surrounded by various aquatic plants, where you can observe red fish swimming and hear the croaking of frogs.

Behind the pond, enjoy a 105 m² semi-tropical garden housing several interesting plant species, including three of prehistoric origin: Cycas, Tree Fern, and Ginkgo Biloba.

Further along the property, there are several large cages for tropical birds, as the current owners are avid enthusiasts and breeders of these species. These cages, totaling 70 m², can be removed by future owners if there is no interest in keeping these birds on the property. Removing the cages would substantially increase the garden area. There is also a small, removable 6 m² greenhouse.

Finally, at the end of the property, there is a 600 m² orchard where you can enjoy various fruits from winter orange trees, summer orange trees, clementines, grapefruits, pomegranates, quinces, walnut trees, and mulberry trees.

Starting with the main house, you will find a typical country home surrounded by generous terraces totaling 175 m², some fully open and others with retractable awnings.

Important note: Villa Magnolia is sold fully furnished with regional and artisanal furniture and decorations.

On the ground floor, the interior of the main house has a very traditional character, easily felt upon entering the 14 m² French Provençal-style kitchen.

This character is evident throughout the interior—in the 40 m² living room, the master bedroom, the other two bedrooms, the bathrooms, the entrance hall, corridor, and the large balcony-terrace.

On the first floor, the details are even more exquisite. This floor has three main areas with ceilings fully covered in high-quality Cryptomeria wood:

- A 27 m² games room
- A 32 m² living room
- An 18 m² suite with its own bathroom and a beautiful garden view

These three areas connect seamlessly, allowing the owner to create different leisure, living, and decoration spaces.

Adjacent to the main house is a 30 m² oven room, perfect for cozy gatherings with guests. The centerpiece is a large classic brick oven, and the room’s decoration is exceptional—likely one of the most beautiful rooms on the property.

Next to it is a 23 m² cellar styled like a typical ”movie tavern,” featuring a treading tank, grape crusher, service counter, stainless steel barrels, and all the typical decor of a charming wine cellar.

Beyond these exceptional leisure and social areas, there is also a workshop, machinery storage room, firewood storage, laundry room, and a cockatoo nursery. Together, these annexes, including a separate special construction area supporting the orchard and well water system, add up to 121 m² of additional built space.

Near the orchard and close to the property’s end are the orchard’s storage room, the well water pump extraction room, and the water storage area.
