Discover the "Club House", a jewel of serenity and beauty in the district of Coimbra, Portugal. This 2.87 hectare retreat combines the elegance of traditional architecture with modern influences from Granada, creating a unique sanctuary. Situated just 20 minutes from the Atlantic coast and close to Coimbra, Aveiro and Figueira da Foz, it offers tranquil country living, yet close to Portugal's vibrant cities and stunning beaches. Designed for academics, artists and thinkers, the "Club House" has two luxurious residences surrounded by meticulously designed gardens, ornamental fountains and paths lined with trellises and vines. A highlight is the porch area with an outdoor fireplace, perfect for al fresco dining, looking out over an impressive mirror of water that reflects the beauty of the surroundings. The 850m2 main residence is built around a central courtyard, leading to a two-level library with over 12,000 volumes, reflecting the love of intellectual exploration. With a large living room, dining area, modern kitchen, staff quarters and four luxurious suites, each space is designed to offer magnificent views of the lush gardens. The gardens are a sensory paradise, filled with roses, jasmine, fruit trees and centuries-old olive trees, creating an oasis of peace and natural beauty. The property also includes a second residence, maintaining the same quality and attention to detail as the main one. Ideal for cultural and academic gatherings, the "Club House" is perfect for conferences and meetings, providing independent spaces for study and contemplation. Its privileged location, close to unspoiled beaches and a short distance from Coimbra and Madrid, makes it a unique retreat for those seeking peace, inspiration and connection. The "Club House" is not just a place to live; it is a legacy of learning and appreciation for culture, art and nature, representing the pinnacle of intellectual elegance and country retreat.
