This rambling riverine estate perches on a wooded ridgeline above the Mira River and the Santa Clara dam impoundment, far from any madding crowds in the unspoiled Alentejo region of southwest Portugal.
Homestead Odemira encompasses 13 idyllic acres, with ample accommodation for residents, guests, and staff, with shaded, lazy terraces and arbored walkways.
There are 16 bedrooms in all (14 of them en suite) cleverly distributed among the main residence and its several ancillary structures, including a charming, 538-square-foot yurt.
Beyond its potential for a Kennedy-style compound, this turnkey property could be easily configured as a boutique hotel unique in the region: Start with the restaurant-grade professional kitchen serving a vast, open living/dining and entertainment space, with its custom-designed bar and an office for the hotelier—or the digitally nomadic guest.
The wellness suite includes a sauna and massage room. The outdoor terraces include an alfresco dining space with a pizza oven and barbecue fixtures.
Beyond are lush organic gardens, fruit trees, and plenty of space for sports and recreation. The lake impoundment offers sport fishing, with a pontoon and several boats on the property.
The estate is energy efficient with solar electricity and generators, a water filtration system, irrigation, a greenhouse, garage, and repair shop, and even a helipad, all available at the turn of a key.
Bustling, beautiful Lisbon is 2.5 hours distant, and the wild, pristine beaches of the Costa Vicentina are just an hour’s drive.
