RENOVATED VILLAGE HOUSE WITH GARDEN, SWIMMING POOL AND AL LICENCE Combining the authentic charm of a Portuguese village with contemporary comfort, this charming house invites you to live at nature’s leisurely pace, just 45 minutes from Lisbon and the airport. Situated in the picturesque village of Gavinha, in Alenquer, this property combines light, authenticity and comfort in a welcoming setting, where the recent renovation has carefully preserved the house’s original character. More than just a renovated house, this is a home with history and character. Although records date it to 1937, various structural features suggest a much earlier origin, possibly dating back to the 18th or 19th centuries. The original stone walls, the old hand-crafted wooden beams and the traditional metalwork visible on the façade preserve the soul of the building. Even the smallest details reveal the property’s authenticity: in the original stones of the façade, sourced from the Serra de Montejunto, one can see natural fossils embedded in the stone – a rare and fascinating feature. Built of stone, with thick traditional walls, the house offers excellent natural thermal insulation, keeping it cool in summer and cosy in winter – a quality hard to find in modern buildings. With around 76 m² spread over two floors, it boasts a harmonious and functional layout. On the ground floor, there is a cosy living room with a fireplace and original wooden ceiling, a fully equipped kitchen with access to the outside, a full bathroom and a bright bedroom. On the first floor, there are two bedrooms (one of which is en suite), a small interior room currently used as a wardrobe, and a spacious hall that could serve as a reading area, office or relaxation space. Outside lies a true private retreat: a garden of around 80 m² with fruit trees, an outdoor dining area, a plunge pool (2 x 3 m), a lawn and a majestic Monstera Deliciosa. The property also includes a detached outbuilding of around 20 m², currently used as a workshop/studio, with potential to serve as a studio, office, guest accommodation or creative space. The surroundings are one of this house’s greatest assets. From the garden side, there are unobstructed views over the Serra de Montejunto; at the front, the view looks out over a vineyard estate where no further building is permitted, ensuring privacy and the preservation of the landscape. The region is characterised by landscapes of vineyards and historic estates, boasting more
