THE GREAT GREEN HOUSE

The Great Green House is a restored three storey manor house where architecture and landscape exist in complete dialogue. Set within 784 sqm of built area and surrounded by a 605 sqm garden, the property carries the calm rhythm of a Portuguese country residence while introducing a more contemporary sense of comfort and proportion. Stone paths, mature planting and a sculptural fountain organise the exterior spaces into a sequence of intimate gardens, shaded corners and open lawns that extend naturally from the house itself.

Inside, the residence balances historical character with careful restoration. Four bedrooms, three of them en suite, and three bathrooms are distributed across generous volumes that include a library, an attic and a basement. Central heating allows year round comfort, while balconies and large openings maintain a constant relationship with the surrounding greenery. The atmosphere is composed rather than decorative, with materials chosen to preserve warmth and permanence rather than excess.

The kitchen forms the social heart of the house. Portuguese marble from Estremoz, custom ivy green cabinetry and brass hardware create a layered interpretation of the modern shaker aesthetic, while woven textures and handcrafted detailing soften the architectural lines. Positioned to overlook the garden, it becomes both workspace and gathering point, designed for long meals, slow mornings and evenings that extend naturally outdoors. The Great Green House is ultimately a country manor house shaped not only by restoration, but by the way it frames daily life through landscape, light and material depth.
