4-bedroom house for sale in Alcanhões

Surrounded by its own olive grove, this single-storey T4 villa sits on a mixed plot of 7,400 m² in Alcanhões, in one of those rare positions where you have the absolute peace of the countryside without giving up proximity to the town. Santarém railway station is about 10 minutes away, which makes this an ideal area for families seeking quality of life without losing their connection to work in the major cities.

The approach is by a track lined with centuries-old olive trees that leads to the house, immediately setting the character of the property. Built in 2011, the villa is laid out on a single floor, with 256 m² of private gross floor area, and stands out for the generous size and brightness of all its rooms: airy, spacious spaces bathed in natural light. The house has recently been repainted almost throughout and is ready to move into.

The heart of the home is a large living room with a fireplace and a stone-clad wall, with direct access to the outside through wide glazed doors. The kitchen, spacious and fully equipped, has granite worktops, an induction hob, an oven and an extractor hood, and opens into a separate dining room, ideal for hosting family and friends for long meals. The terracotta tiled floors give the warm, welcoming character typical of houses in the Ribatejo.

The private area is clearly organised: three large bedrooms, one of them en suite with a private bathroom and dressing room, plus a study that comfortably meets the demands of working from home. The villa also has a second complete bathroom with a bath and double washbasin, and a guest WC.

Outside, the property shows its full potential. A covered terrace facing the olive grove, with a barbecue and a brick wood-fired oven, extends the house's social life into the warmer months and offers a privileged setting for alfresco meals. The swimming pool, surrounded by lawn and olive trees, invites relaxation with views over the fields. There is also an enclosed garage for a car, an annexe for storing machinery and garden tools, and a chicken coop.

The working olive grove is one of the great charms of this property: it produces between 300 and 500 litres of olive oil a year, depending on the weather, a rare opportunity to combine residential living with the agricultural tradition of the region.

Given its scale, versatility and setting, this property has a dual character: it stands as a family home of great comfort, and it also works as a small country estate for leisure and production. Either way, it offers a way of life that combines space, nature, authenticity and a genuinely practical location.
