ORGANIC ESTATE | 8-BEDROOM PROPERTY | 5.25 HECTARES | 844 SQ M BUILT + 500 SQ M OF ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL | MONTEMOR-O-NOVOMonte das Palmeiras is one of those rare properties that cannot truly be defined by floor plans, measurements or photographs alone. It is a place created for those seeking time, space and freedom. A place where nature sets the pace of each day, and where quality of life is measured through tranquillity, privacy and the opportunity to live more independently, without compromising on comfort.Set within 5.25 hectares of fully enclosed land, this remarkable estate offers a rare balance between high-quality construction, infrastructure designed for demanding year-round use and outstanding potential for future development. Whether as a permanent family residence, a multi-generational estate, a rural tourism project, boutique hospitality venture, wellness retreat or investment opportunity, Monte das Palmeiras brings together qualities that are seldom found in a single property.From the moment you arrive, it becomes clear that everything has been built with longevity in mind. The main residence, completed in 2005, combines robust construction with exceptional thermal comfort and generous, highly functional living spaces. Offering approximately 640 sq m of gross built area, it currently comprises eight bedrooms, two of which are en suite, five bathrooms, an impressive living room of around 120 sq m centred around a traditional Alentejo fireplace, a fully equipped professional-style kitchen, pantry, wine cellar/basement and a garage for two vehicles.Throughout the house, the carefully selected materials and construction methods reflect a constant commitment to year-round comfort. Electric underfloor heating, external thermal insulation (ETICS system), PVC double-glazed windows, integrated fly screens, fibre-optic internet, video entry system and automated entrance gates all contribute to a home designed for permanent living with maximum comfort and efficiency.One particularly attractive feature lies within the attic. Its generous ceiling height provides the opportunity, should a future owner wish, to significantly increase the property's accommodation by creating additional bedrooms or even extending the house to include a further floor, offering even greater flexibility for future generations.Living at Monte das Palmeiras also means embracing a lifestyle that is closer to nature. The estate benefits from its own borehole water supply, electricity generated through 13 solar panels with a three-phase inverter, its own water treatment system, a Wallbox electric vehicle charging point and a range of technical infrastructures that allow for an exceptionally high degree of independence from public utility networks.Outside, the estate has also been carefully designed to operate efficiently. An automatic drip irrigation system extends across much of the land, complemented by an organic vegetable garden, numerous fruit trees and generous open spaces where fresh produce can be harvested directly from the land. Here, everyday life naturally follows the rhythm of the seasons, where enjoying fruit picked straight from the tree becomes part of daily living rather than a special occasion.The 10 x 5 metre saltwater swimming pool, surrounded by a timber deck and extensive leisure areas, provides the perfect setting for enjoying the long Alentejo summers in complete privacy.The second building, offering approximately 204 sq m, is legally registered as an annex to the main house and was originally designed as a professional recording studio. It currently comprises several recording rooms, a control room, entrance hall, living area with kitchenette and bathroom facilities. Its highly versatile layout makes it ideally suited for conversion into independent guest accommodation, a wellness centre, creative studio, workshop space, offices, therapy rooms or complementary tourist accommodation.The estate also includes a caretaker's cottage comprising a kitchen, living room, bedroom and external bathroom, together with a 40 sq m agricultural storage building, poultry facilities, sheep enclosures, hay storage and a range of additional agricultural support buildings.More than simply a home, this is a property that inspires possibilities.It could become an intimate country hotel, a boutique rural tourism project, a wellness or yoga retreat, a destination dedicated to personal development, a nature-based hospitality concept, an educational farm, an equestrian centre, a pet-friendly retreat, an animal boarding facility or a sustainable agricultural enterprise. Equally, it could simply remain what it already is an exceptional family estate designed to be enjoyed across generations.Part of the estate falls within an officially designated Rural Settlement Area (Aglomerado Rural) and, according to recent information obtained from the local authority, allows for the construction of up to 500 sq m of additional buildings, which may be distributed across several residential units. This represents a particularly rare planning framework that significantly enhances the property's residential and tourism development potential.Combined with the approximately 844 sq m of existing built area, this creates an exceptional opportunity to acquire a property that already offers extensive infrastructure while still providing significant room for future expansion.Located just 15 minutes from Montemor-o-Novo, approximately 40 minutes from Évora, around one hour from Lisbon and within easy reach of Comporta, Monte das Palmeiras enjoys a strategic location that combines the peace and authenticity of the Alentejo countryside with convenient access to some of Portugal's most sought-after destinations.Some properties answer the needs of today. Others are created to endure.Monte das Palmeiras unquestionably belongs to the latter: a place built to stand the test of time, to grow alongside those who call it home, and to embrace new projects, new stories and future generations, while preserving the authenticity, serenity and deep connection with nature that make it truly unique.Some images have been generated using AI and are for illustrative purposes only.Main Stone offers a bespoke real estate service, combining a strategic approach with dedicated and personalised support.
