Elegant Countryside Retreat, Mature Gardens, Private Pool & Easy Town Access Nestled within a small, characterful village just 2km — a pleasant 20-minute stroll — from the lively market town of Ansião in the Leiria district, this immaculate bespoke home is a rare find: a property that combines the tranquility of rural Portugal with effortless everyday convenience. From the moment you pass through the double entrance gates, the scale and elegance of the house announce themselves immediately. Set within over 2,500m² of beautifully maintained walled gardens — alive with mature olive and fruit trees — this is a home that has been designed and cared for with exceptional attention to detail, presenting in truly show-home condition throughout. The Accommodation Ground Floor The journey through the house begins in a grand entrance hall (5.3m × 3.5m) anchored by a striking wrought-iron staircase that rises to double height — a statement piece that sets the tone for everything that follows. The lounge (7m × 4m) is a generous, light-filled space with a wood-burning stove and dual aspect, opening via patio doors to the pool terrace and rear gardens. Interconnecting doors offer flexibility: open them to create a flowing entertaining space that connects to the kitchen, or close them for a more intimate, separate sitting room. At the heart of the home is a superb open-plan kitchen and dining area (7.1m × 3.6m kitchen; 3.8m × 3.4m dining). Fully fitted with high-quality cabinetry and featuring a central dining peninsula, this is a space truly built for those who love to entertain. Adjoining it is a sun room (3.8m × 2.9m) with two sets of sliding patio doors that seamlessly dissolve the boundary between indoors and the pool terrace — an effortless inside-outside living experience. Step directly from the kitchen into the glazed conservatory (7.2m × 2.8m), enclosed on three sides and perfectly positioned to catch the evening sun — an idyllic spot for a glass of wine as the day draws to a close. A practical laundry/utility room (3.5m × 2.3m), discreetly accessed through a concealed door at the rear of the kitchen, completes the working heart of the home. The ground floor also hosts a double-aspect bedroom (3.4m × 2.9m) with fitted wardrobes and an adjacent shower bathroom — ideal for guests who prefer single-level living. First Floor An elegant L-shaped landing with access to a rear balcony connects three generous bedroom suites, each with its own private dressing area and luxury en suite. Suite 1 (4m × 3.8m) — double aspect with a large en suite (3.3m × 2.7m) featuring both bath and shower, and a fitted dressing room (2m × 1.4m). Suite 2 (3.8m × 3.8m) — the corner suite, with two sets of patio doors opening onto a private balcony offering sweeping countryside views. Includes a large en suite (3.4m × 2.7m) with bath and shower and a fitted dressing room (2m × 1.4m). Suite 3 (4m × 3.6m) — double aspect with a particularly spacious en suite (3.7m × 3.1m, bath and shower) that benefits from an additional independent access — a thoughtful feature offering versatility for guests or family. Fitted dressing room (2.8m × 1.4m). Bedroom 4 (4.7m × 3.4m) — a dual-aspect room with fitted wardrobes and direct access to the rear balcony. Outside The 10m × 5m saltwater swimming pool forms the centrepiece of the outdoor space, fitted with a new liner in 2023. Generous terracing surrounds it, perfect for alfresco dining and lounging. The walled gardens beyond provide both privacy and beauty, planted with olives, fruit trees and established mature shrubs. A large double garage (7.6m × 6m) with electric doors and a recently installed garden shed provide ample storage and parking. Practical Details The property benefits from oil-fired central heating with a boiler replaced just two years ago, fast fibre broadband and a whole-house central vacuum system. It presents in immaculate, move-in condition — a home where nothing needs doing. Location Ansião town centre is within comfortable walking distance, offering daily amenities, markets and authentic local life. The UNESCO World Heritage city of Coimbra is approximately 40 minutes away, and Lisbon's international airport is reachable in under two hours — making this an ideal base whether you're relocating or seeking a generous second home in central Portugal. This is a home of genuine quality, warmth and versatility — one that must be experienced in person to be fully appreciated.
