Crato e Mártires, Portalegre

Hidden in the heart of the Alentejo, this property extends over 7.5 hectares of preserved nature, in a setting where you immediately feel the peace and depth of time. The house that is presented here is the result of exceptional work: once in ruins, it was completely rebuilt by the current owner, always with absolute respect for tradition, original materials and the architectural soul of the region. It now appears as a solid, authentic and timeless house, faithful to the way it was built in the Alentejo in the past thick walls, robust structure and a natural harmony between the interior and exterior spaces. Inside, the house offers five bedrooms, three bathrooms and large areas bathed in light. The living room, vast and majestic, has been conceived as the heart of the life of the house, where family and friends can gather around the fire or simply enjoy the tranquillity of the place. The dining room, in turn, occupies the old chapel of the estate: a space full of history, magnificently restored, which gives the meals an intimate and solemn atmosphere, as if every moment there gained a special depth. Every detail of the reconstruction reveals a rare effort: to preserve the essence of an old house while restoring it to the nobility of a renaissance. We find the natural freshness of the walls in summer, the soft cosiness in winter, the generous luminosity of the large openings and that feeling of solidity that reassures from the first moment. The life that is drawn here is that of a personal domain, a refuge where one chooses one's own rhythm. The 7.5 hectares that surround the house offer a feeling of almost absolute freedom: a vast, serene plot of land, where silence reigns and where nature accompanies each day. This property is intended for those looking to settle, create, transform, customise. It is already a beautiful house, but it does not impose any limits: you can add a swimming pool perfectly integrated into the landscape, create gardens, organise a space to receive, develop a vegetable garden or an orchard, or simply keep the land as it is, transforming it into a true rural sanctuary. It is a house ready to welcome a new vision, be it family, contemplative, creative or simply dedicated to a life in harmony with nature. Just 1h45 from Lisbon, but away from the world, it offers total privacy, with no neighbours in sight, in one of the most authentic and serene environments in Portugal. It is a place where you breathe better, where you rediscover the essentials, where each day takes on a different meaning. This house is not just a property: it is a renaissance. An address rooted in history, recovered with care and prepared for a new chapter the one he chooses to write. Living here is also living close to...
