A Home With History, Nature And The Privilege Of Living Close To Tomar

Imagine starting your day surrounded by nature, picking fresh oranges from your own land, enjoying the peace of the countryside and watching beautiful sunsets—all just five minutes from the centre of Tomar and its historic castle.

This spacious four-bedroom villa near the village of Cem Soldos combines privacy, generous outdoor space and proximity to Tomar, one of Portugal’s most historic towns.

A PROPERTY WITH SPACE, CHARACTER AND POTENTIAL

The property includes approximately 7,160 m2 of land plus an adjoining woodland plot of 2,360 m2—a total of around 9,520 m2.

The grounds feature 23 olive trees, numerous orange trees, six fig trees, plum, walnut, cherry, lemon, pomegranate and peach trees, and a small vineyard. Enjoy seasonal fruit harvests and the possibility of producing your own olive oil at a nearby traditional cold-process olive press.

The sunny garden has drip irrigation and a well that needs cleaning. A relatively flat area could accommodate a swimming pool, subject to permissions.

A WELCOMING HOME ARRANGED OVER THREE FLOORS

The villa has four bedrooms, all with built-in wardrobes, and five bathrooms.

Ground floor: An equipped kitchen connects to the dining area, which includes a wood-burning fireplace and heat-recovery system. A glazed conservatory overlooks the back patio, the cabana and the wooded hillside. There is a separate living room, two bedrooms (one en suite) and another bathroom with a large jetted tub.

Upper floor: Here you will find a spacious bedroom and a versatile additional room, both with built-in wardrobes; the latter could serve as a small bedroom or office. A bathroom with a large shower and a generous storage attic complete this floor.

Basement: The basement accommodates a two-car garage, washer and dryer, storage, DIY workshop and service bathroom.

A SEPARATE OUTDOOR ENTERTAINING AREA – THE CABANA

Ideal for gatherings, the cabana includes a traditional bread oven, barbecue grill, sink, storage room and bathroom with shower. It currently accommodates an air fryer, deep fryer, large freezer and refrigerator, and a table seating up to six people.

QUALITY FEATURES AND COMFORT

Marble stairs, double-glazed aluminium tilt-and-turn windows, air conditioning, oil-fired central heating and fibre-optic internet availability add comfort. Fenced and gated grounds offer privacy, while a paved access road near Quinta da Anunciada Velha ensures easy access.

HISTORY, CULTURE AND NATURE ON YOUR DOORSTEP

Tomar’s centre and the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Convent of Christ (Convento de Cristo) are only five minutes away by car. The town’s renowned Festa dos Tabuleiros (Festival of the Trays), held every four years, fills its streets with colourful paper flowers and ribbons. Rooted in medieval religious traditions, its remarkable procession features women carrying towers of bread, wheat and flowers, celebrating gratitude, generosity and sharing. The next festival is in July 2027.

Every August, the village of Cem Soldos hosts BONS SONS, a four-day festival celebrating Portuguese music and performers. Sometimes compared to Woodstock for its lively spirit, it draws visitors from across Portugal. The property is approximately five blocks from the festival area—close to the festivities, yet peacefully private.

The historic Aqueduct of Pegões is accessible via a walking trail of approximately 2.5 kilometres from the property. Completed in the 17th century to supply the Convent of Christ, it stretches almost seven kilometres and has been a protected monument since 1910.

Explore the surrounding countryside on foot, including a roughly four-kilometre walking route beginning and ending at the front gate.

OTHER AMENITIES

Four supermarkets, shops, restaurants, schools, a public hospital, pharmacies, clinics and other health facilities, transport links and the A13 and A23 motorways are conveniently accessible.
