lands for sale Óbidos, Portugal

Quinta do Lago is a 16 hectare property located in Óbidos, designed for those seeking space, complete privacy, and a strong symbiosis with nature. With a unique location, the land offers a completely open and direct view of the historic walls of Óbidos Castle. It is the perfect setting for a prestigious residence or a project of excellence. The main house stands out for its spacious and highly functional single-story architecture, perfectly integrated into the landscape and bordered by expansive lawns punctuated by a lake. Inside, the focus is on the large open-plan living room. This space is imposing due to the nobility of the materials, with the ceiling and floor lined in oak wood, and the large glazed windows that flood the house with natural light. The living room seamlessly unifies the dining area, enhanced by a remarkable fresco painting on the wall, the leisure space, and a central living area centered around an imposing fireplace, uniquely decorated with marble mechanical parts. To ensure full enjoyment throughout the year, the villa also features an indoor swimming pool. This aquatic space gains an undeniable artistic dimension with the presence of a large marble sculpture, but its greatest highlight is undoubtedly the large glazed window that allows swimming with a direct view of the property's garden and Óbidos Castle. Complementing the residential infrastructure, next to the main house is another old house, completely renovated, which serves practically as the caretaker's house. It is worth noting that the main house needs some maintenance in terms of its infrastructure, which represents an excellent opportunity for modernization to adapt the space to the level of demand and taste of the new owner. In a region recognized for its strong and deeply rooted equestrian tradition, the equestrian facilities of this property are not a mere complement, but an extraordinary added value. The farm has large structures with an excellent architectural base, including a pavilion with individual stalls for housing horses, large, properly fenced outdoor areas, and an imposing covered riding arena.

This mature vegetation, strategically distributed around the farm, not only provides a constant green view but also ensures a natural barrier of total privacy. The living richness of the land goes even further: the property includes a magnificent, fully fenced oak forest, which serves as a habitat for deer belonging to the farm, providing direct and protected contact with wildlife. The geographical setting cements the strategic value of this property. Located just steps from the medieval village of Óbidos, the estate benefits from the region's vibrant cultural scene and historical heritage throughout the year.
