4 Bedroom Detached house with garden, Ponte de Rol, Torres Vedras

Award-Winning Contemporary Home in Ponte do Rol, Torres Vedras.

Located in Casal do Telhadouro, Ponte do Rol, this contemporary residence is distinguished by its architecture, privacy and elevated setting, with open views across the surrounding landscape.

Set amid a predominantly rural landscape of rolling hills and vineyards, the property offers a sense of space and tranquillity that is increasingly rare within easy reach of Lisbon and the Atlantic coast. The natural configuration of the land and the way the house unfolds across different levels create a clear separation between living areas while maintaining a continuous relationship between the interiors, garden and landscape.

Designed by Lema Barros + Castelo Branco Arquitectos, the house was awarded First Prize in the Single-Family Residential category of the Torres Vedras Municipal Architecture Awards in 2005, with particular recognition given to its setting, relationship with the landscape and articulation of its different spaces.

Extensively renovated in 2023/2024, the property retains the architectural identity of the original design while introducing contemporary interiors, carefully selected materials and modern comfort and technology. With 222.57 sqm of registered gross construction area, the house is set within 3,000 sqm of private grounds, a scale that contributes significantly to its privacy and connection with the surrounding landscape.

The main living area comprises two sitting areas, one with a wood-burning fireplace, a dining area and a fully renovated kitchen with bespoke cabinetry, a central island, marble worktops and Siemens appliances, including an induction hob with integrated extraction. Large glazed openings create a natural transition from the interiors to the deck and garden.

The private area comprises three bedrooms, including a suite with dressing room. The bathrooms have also been completely renovated, featuring Pietra Grey marble, Black Marquina marble basins and bespoke oak cabinetry. Natural oak flooring, built-in wardrobes and custom-made joinery provide continuity throughout the interiors.

In addition to the 222.57 sqm of registered gross construction area, a separate level of the property accommodates a fully equipped apartment with its own independent entrance, providing additional space for guests or family, or alternatively for use as a private office, studio or leisure area.

The renovation also included new double-glazed windows, improved insulation, central heating with a Mitsubishi heat pump, radiators and underfloor heating in the bathrooms. Electric shutters, Wi-Fi-controlled home automation, fibre-optic internet, central vacuum system, alarm and video surveillance, an electric entrance gate and exterior lighting complete the property’s technical features.

Outside, the garden provides generous areas for outdoor living and dining, together with a wooden deck and barbecue area. The size and configuration of the 3,000 sqm grounds also allow for different future uses of the outdoor space, including the potential integration of a bespoke swimming pool or spa, subject to the relevant design and planning approvals. Privacy remains one of the property’s most distinctive qualities.

Ponte do Rol lies within the municipality of Torres Vedras, approximately 50 kilometres north of Lisbon, in a particularly attractive part of Portugal’s Oeste region. Here, rolling hills, vineyards and farmland gradually meet the Atlantic, in an area with a long winemaking tradition and a strong sense of Portuguese identity. The Atlantic influence contributes to a mild climate and a lifestyle naturally connected to the outdoors.

The location combines the tranquillity of the countryside with an appealing range of options for those who value food, wine and culture. Torres Vedras offers shops, traditional markets, restaurants and a varied cultural programme throughout the year, while the nearby coast brings the beaches, restaurants and Atlantic character of Santa Cruz and Ericeira. Lisbon remains close enough to enjoy its cultural and gastronomic life regularly, while returning home to the privacy and slower pace of the Oeste.

Torres Vedras and the beaches of Santa Cruz are approximately 15 minutes away, with Ericeira around 30 minutes by car. For families, the International School of Torres Vedras, offering the Cambridge curriculum, is approximately 15 minutes away. The Oeste coast is also home to several renowned golf courses, including Praia D’El Rey, West Cliffs and Royal Óbidos.

Lisbon and Humberto Delgado Airport are approximately 45 to 50 minutes away by car, making this a particularly well-balanced location, whether as a permanent residence or for those seeking a country home close to the Atlantic and within easy reach of the capital.

A property where architecture, privacy and landscape come together in an uncommon balance, between the countryside, the Atlantic and Lisbon. Porta da Frente Christie’s invites you to experience the property in person and discover the distinctive character of this remarkable setting.
