Contemporary Alentejo Retreat | Minimalist Architecture, Nature & Privacy in Montemor-o-Novo

Set in the heart of the Alentejo countryside, in Montemor-o-Novo, this distinctive country residence seamlessly blends the authenticity of traditional Alentejo architecture with contemporary minimalist design, offering a peaceful retreat surrounded by nature.

Set on a fully fenced 7,843 sqm plot with gated access, the property has been thoughtfully designed to embrace its natural surroundings, prioritising privacy, natural light and a harmonious connection between indoor and outdoor living.

The house stands out for its clean architectural lines, whitewashed walls, high ceilings with exposed wooden beams and expansive windows that frame the surrounding greenery, allowing nature to become an integral part of the living experience.

Inside, the main living area offers a warm yet sophisticated atmosphere, featuring polished concrete-style floors, a striking central suspended fireplace and an open-plan kitchen with an island, creating an inviting space for both everyday living and entertaining.

Carefully selected details, including natural wood finishes, integrated cabinetry, artisanal-inspired materials and a neutral colour palette, enhance the property’s distinctive character and understated elegance.

The private quarters follow the same architectural philosophy, with bright, welcoming interiors, integrated storage solutions and minimalist finishes that evoke a sense of comfort and tranquillity.

Outdoors, spacious terraces extend the living areas towards the swimming pool, surrounded by relaxation spaces, olive trees and mature vegetation typical of the Alentejo landscape. This idyllic setting invites long summer afternoons, alfresco dining and peaceful moments immersed in nature.

The property also offers potential for further development and personalisation. According to the owner, there is the possibility of extending the built area to 250 sqm on a single level or 500 sqm across two floors, subject to verification of the relevant planning permissions and documentation.

Located approximately 100 km from Lisbon, around 20 km from Évora and just a few minutes from the five-star Gandum Hotel, the property combines the tranquillity of rural living with convenient access to cultural attractions, gastronomy and amenities.
