4-bedroom house for sale in Moçarria

Set in the village of Secorio, in the parish of Moçarria, just 10–15 minutes from Santarém and 50 minutes from Lisbon, this spacious single-storey rural house, full of character, enjoys a remarkably private location with open views over the Ribatejo fields and valley.

The main house, measuring around 195 m², is arranged entirely on one level, which makes it practical for family life and easy to enjoy without stairs. A large, light-filled entrance hall leads to the heart of the home: a generous open-plan space with kitchen, dining room and living room. Traditional Portuguese character sits alongside modern kitchen units, while large windows and doors bring the countryside indoors. An imposing wood-burning salamander creates a cosy focal point in winter.

From the living room, doors open onto a huge west-facing terrace with far-reaching views, a marvellous outdoor living space with room for sofas, sun loungers, a dining area and a barbecue. From here, the olive-covered hills and the valley offer ever-changing views, culminating in spectacular sunsets.

The house has three generous double bedrooms, all with built-in wardrobes, one of them en suite, as well as two further bathrooms and a versatile fourth room, currently used as an office/sitting room. The house is naturally cool in summer, with air conditioning in the living room and infrared heating panels for winter in the bedrooms, bathrooms and hall. It also has 12 solar panels with battery storage.

The property, extending to over 2 hectares, includes approximately 80 mature olive trees producing olives for extra virgin olive oil, an established orchard with orange and lemon trees and other fruit trees, a vegetable garden, an above-ground pool and drought-resistant gravel gardens. A covered vine pergola provides a second outdoor dining area, ideal for long summer lunches and evenings under the stars.

Beneath the house, a lower floor of considerable size (approximately 150 m²) currently houses a workshop, a studio and a gym, with direct access to the gardens. This space offers potential for other uses, such as a guest suite, independent accommodation or a creative workspace, subject to licensing. There is also a large garage for at least two cars and two additional outbuildings with potential for future conversion (also subject to licensing).

Santarém offers shops, restaurants, schools, healthcare services and a lively cultural life, with a notable historic centre known as the "capital of the Portuguese Gothic".
