Coimbra, Lisbon

Custom-designed eco-home, panoramic views, over 1.3 hectares of land This exceptional property is an example of thoughtful design excellence - designed from the ground up to highlight its most impressive asset: expansive south-facing views over the open countryside and beyond. Set on a generous plot of over 1.3 hectares, the house has been carefully designed to display these views from every room, while an advanced heating system and solar infrastructure ensure modern and efficient living. Situated just 9 km from the lively village of Oliveira do Hospital, the property enjoys a tranquil rural setting without sacrificing convenience. The cities of Coimbra and Viseu are less than an hour's drive away, Porto International Airport is approximately two hours away and the local village offers a café and a minimarket for daily needs. Arrival and ground floor A pair of imposing electric double gates open onto a cobbled driveway leading up to the house - a fitting introduction to what's inside. The entrance hall (4.3m x 2.6m) takes you immediately to the heart of the house, opening onto a spectacular open-plan living space, where the landscape reveals itself through a vast panoramic window. The open plan living room (8.2m x 5.5m) is simply stunning. With an impressive 5.2m double-height ceiling and a floor-to-ceiling panoramic window, the views are the undisputed centrepiece - complemented by a standout wood-burning stove. Patio doors lead directly to the terrace and pool area. The open-plan kitchen (5.1 m x 3.1 m) is fully equipped and integrates perfectly into the living room, making it ideal for entertaining guests. A generous utility room/secondary kitchen (3.3m x 2.1m) offers excellent additional storage space and appliances. The dining area (3.5m x 2.2m) has its own picture window that frames the views, with a side door leading to a covered terrace and steps leading down to the garden - perfect for al fresco dining. A versatile office/bedroom (3.7m x 3.5m) features another panoramic window, while a well-equipped bathroom (2.6m x 2.3m) offers a bath and shower. A staircase on two levels leads to the master suite: a serene 5.4m x 3.9m retreat, with fully fitted wardrobes and patio doors opening onto the front terrace and pool area. The master suite's en-suite bathroom (3.5m x 2.7m) completes this private sanctuary. First floor The landing area (4.5m x 2.8m) provides separate access to the rear terrace and garden - a lovely place to start the day. Two further double bedrooms, each 4.9m x 3.0m, are both beautifully fitted with fitted wardrobes. One of them gives access to a generous side terrace of 30 m², while the other leads to a front terrace where the views are, once again, simply unforgettable. A family bathroom (2.7 m x 1.95 m) serves both bedrooms. Annexes and parking At the rear of the property, a large covered garage (7.9m x 4.1m) provides ample parking space. Next to the house is a machine room, a separate toilet and a garage (5.4 m x 4.3 m) - practical spaces that complement the well-thought-out layout of the house. Eco-friendly technology and sustainability The house is designed to provide comfort and efficiency in equal measure. A covered terrace wraps around the south-facing façade to provide natural shade, and high-quality solar glass throughout the house maintains a pleasant room temperature while flooding the interiors with light. Underfloor heating is provided by an air-source heat pump system, individually controlled by thermostats in each room. The system can also contribute to the hot water supply and heating of the pool when necessary. Six dedicated solar thermal panels provide hot water for the house and pool, while another ten photovoltaic panels generate electricity for immediate use or store surplus energy in a backup battery system. The property is connected to the sewerage, water and electricity network, and benefits from high-speed fibre optic broadband. Garden, Pool & Land The heated infinity pool (10
