Farm in Montijo with electric car charging

Seven homes. One swimming pool. A development with a character of its own.

In Sarilhos Grandes, in the municipality of Montijo, a residential Villa is taking shape — one that moves away from the traditional concept of a condominium development.

There are just seven homes, brought together in an architect-led project where the architecture, the composition of the buildings and the relationship between private and shared spaces have been conceived as one coherent whole.

At the heart of this lifestyle is a shared swimming pool serving all seven homes, surrounded by landscaped gardens and outdoor areas designed to be enjoyed at a slower pace. It adds a special dimension to the development, creating a genuine space for relaxation and socialising without compromising the peace and privacy that come with a Villa of only seven residences.

More than simply a shared amenity, the swimming pool forms part of the very identity of the project. It extends the home into the outdoors and reinforces the idea of a place designed for living, unwinding and enjoying everyday life.

The Villa comprises four T1+1 homes, two T2+1 homes and one T2+2 home, all arranged primarily over a single level and complemented by a mezzanine, an architectural feature that brings a greater sense of space, versatility and individuality to the interiors.

More than just providing additional space, the mezzanine changes the way each home can be lived in. It allows for the creation of extra areas for working, relaxing, reading or sleeping, while maintaining a visual connection between the different spaces and giving each home a less conventional character.

Outside, the seven homes are carefully distributed across the property, together with landscaped areas, circulation spaces and parking, in a layout that preserves the individuality of each residence while maintaining the overall coherence of the development.

The communal garden enhances this outdoor lifestyle, creating a permanent connection between the architecture and the leisure areas and making the exterior an integral part of everyday living.

It is precisely the scale of the project that sets it apart.

Seven homes make it possible to create a small and private community, where there is a sense of connection without sacrificing privacy, and where the shared spaces can genuinely be enjoyed — far removed from the impersonal nature of larger developments.

The choice of Sarilhos Grandes is also part of this identity. A setting where space, tranquillity and a more relaxed pace of life can still be found, while remaining close to Montijo and the region’s main transport links.

The result is a development created for those who are looking for more than just square metres or a particular property type.

They are looking for a different kind of home.

With architecture.

With a swimming pool.

With outdoor space.

With a more human scale.

And with the possibility of living close to the city, without necessarily having to live at its pace.
