Absolutely unique five-bedroom contemporary villa, nestled on an elevated 4,500 m² plot of land in Nossa Senhora de Machede, Évora, in the heart of the Alentejo. Just 146km from Lisbon, 16km from Évora, and two minutes from the village, this property combines total privacy, accessibility, and a profound and intimate connection with the surrounding countryside. Perched on the highest point of the estate, this villa offers magnificent sweeping panoramic views over fields, vineyards, and olive groves, in a protected area where no further construction is allowed. The sensation is of inhabiting the land from its peak, a rare balance of silence, horizon, and light. Designed on a single level with 850m² of private living space, the villa is carefully integrated into the topography. It is articulated through vaulted courtyards, terraces, and porches, creating seamless indoor-outdoor living in perfect harmony with nature. Outside, a rooftop landscaped terrace and two distinct swimming pools (one for adults and one for children), are naturally integrated into the architectural ensemble. The villa boasts five suites, two arranged around private vaulted circular courtyards that provide abundant natural light, ventilation, and a rare sense of retreat. The spacious open-plan social area and kitchen open southwards to the exterior, bright and sheltered, while an independent guest wing ensures comfort and autonomy. At the heart of this estate, stands a centuries-old windmill, preserved as a symbolic and spatial center piece. Maintained as a habitable ruin, it serves as an entrance and lookout, reinforcing the memory of the place and its emotional connection to the land. The property includes a discreet underground garage with direct, private access to the interior, further enhancing privacy and exclusivity. Materiality plays a central role: exposed concrete with local aggregates, white lime mortars, regional granite, and carefully planned landscaping harmoniously integrate the construction into the environment. A discreet, quiet, serene, and timeless luxury. Designed by an award-winning Portuguese architect of international acclaim, construction began in September 2025, with completion expected in February 2027. More than a home, this is a unique work of art. Ideal for those who value space, time, silence, nature, light, privacy, authenticity and exclusivity. A rare and inspiring way to experience the Alentejo...
