Description

There are houses that are simply for sale. And there are houses that you really feel at home in. This is clearly one of the latter.

Situated in the heart of the municipality of Sertã, in the charming village of Cernache do Bonjardim, just a few minutes from the village centre and all amenities, this property is the sort of opportunity that rarely comes along twice.

Over 5,500 m² of land and approximately 126 m² of existing built area.

A place where time seems to slow down, where the greenery stretches as far as the eye can see, and where every window becomes a picture frame overlooking the mountains, olive groves and orchards that stretch to the horizon.

The living area, situated on the upper floor, is ready to move into. Spacious, light-filled and well-laid-out rooms, with generous ceiling heights that give an immediate sense of comfort and spaciousness.

The spacious living room is perfect for family evenings; the bedrooms are peaceful and well-lit, one of them boasting the rare charm of a wrought-iron bed, another ready to welcome your own story.

Air conditioning is already installed, there is a glazed conservatory overlooking the countryside, and a balcony where breakfast takes on a whole new flavour, surrounded by the greenery of the landscape.

The windows of this house do not merely reveal the outside; they reveal tranquillity: centuries-old olive trees, tall pines, orchards and the mountains in the background create a scene that changes colour with the seasons, yet never ceases to enchant.

On the ground floor are the storage rooms, a laundry area, and a wood-fired oven area – ideal for inviting friends and family over to enjoy a meal that takes on a whole new flavour. These are spacious, open-plan areas with high ceilings and enormous potential, ready to be transformed into a self-contained flat, for example.

Whether it’s for parents who’d like to live nearby, for children returning home, for a holiday let with a breathtaking view, or simply to extend your home, the structure and space are already there – all that’s missing is your vision.

There’s also an attic that you could make use of, though it currently lacks direct access.

Surrounding the house is a thriving property. Farmland ready for cultivation, fruit trees that already promise a bountiful harvest, and the rare privilege of your own well water – a resource that is worth its weight in gold these days for anyone dreaming of self-sufficiency, an organic vegetable garden, or simply the peace of mind that comes from never having to rely on anyone else to water the land. There is also a small, unregistered agricultural outbuilding.

Here you have the best of both worlds: you live surrounded by nature, silence and space, yet never isolated.

The village of Cernache do Bonjardim, with all its shops and everyday amenities, is just a few minutes away, and the county town, Sertã, is about 10 km away.

For those who travel or receive visitors from further afield, Tomar is about 40 km away, Pombal is about 55–60 minutes’ drive away, Coimbra is about 1 hour away, Castelo Branco is about 1 hour away, Lisbon Airport is about 1 hour 40 minutes away and Lisbon is about 1 hour 50 minutes away. In other words, rural tranquillity at a convenient distance from the country’s main urban centres and airports, perfect both for those looking for a permanent family home and for those dreaming of a second home for getaways, or even an investment in holiday accommodation in a region that continues to win over those who visit it.

It is a property that needs a few touch-ups, but that is precisely where the opportunity lies. A house with this location, this view, its own water supply, this potential for growth and this starting price does not come onto the market every day. More than just a house, it is an invitation: to rediscover the simple rhythm of country life, without sacrificing proximity to everything that matters. Come and see for yourselves; bring plenty of time and a sense of curiosity – the rest is down to this house and this land to win you over. For further information, to arrange a viewing or to ask any questions, please contact us; we’d be delighted to show you, in person, everything that these photographs have only just begun to reveal.
