Rural and Natural Life Portugal

Your Piece of Freedom in Central Portugal

Imagine a place where peace and quiet are not a luxury, but part of everyday life. Where you wake up to birdsong, generate your own power from the sun, and live in harmony with nature.
In Central Portugal, this vision becomes reality: rural and off-grid properties for people seeking independence, mindfulness, and a closer connection to the land.

Our properties are located in one of Portugal’s most authentic regions – shaped by forests, rolling hills, and clear lakes. Here you’ll find space, low population density, and a mild climate with over 300 days of sunshine per year. Central Portugal offers not only an excellent quality of life, but also stable property prices and a welcoming environment for long-term investment.

Living off-grid here is not about giving things up – it’s about freedom. Self-sufficient energy, sustainable building, and a lifestyle in balance with nature, without sacrificing comfort. Whether as a retreat, a new home, or a long-term investment, this region offers room for your vision.

If you’re looking for more than just a property – for a place to truly arrive – your journey starts here.

Who We Are

Behind this project are people who don’t just talk about living close to nature – we live it ourselves.
Bertram, a building contractor and real estate agent, has been based in Pedrógão Grande for over 15 years and has deep knowledge of the region, its opportunities, and its challenges. His long-standing local experience forms the foundation of our properties and your future project.

Geertje (self-employed) and Andy (engineer) have consciously chosen to gradually shift their lives towards a nature-based lifestyle. We already own our own natural property and will begin building our first home this year – the same path many of our clients are just starting out on.

Because we are walking this journey ourselves, we understand what truly matters: thoughtful planning, trustworthy local partners, and experienced guidance throughout the entire process. With practical knowledge, a strong network, and genuine commitment, we stand by your side from the first idea to the moment you truly arrive.

Leisure & Accessibility

Central Portugal offers a rare balance of tranquility, nature, and accessibility. The area around Pedrógão Grande is defined by forests, rivers, and reservoirs, providing a wide range of outdoor activities. Hiking, cycling, swimming, kayaking, or simply relaxing by the water are part of everyday life here. Local cafés, weekly markets, and traditional village festivals add cultural richness and authentic Portuguese charm.

Despite its rural character, the region is well connected. Pedrógão Grande is located close to major routes linking Lisbon, Porto, and Coimbra. Larger cities, hospitals, shopping facilities, and international airports are all within reasonable driving distance, allowing you to enjoy peace and seclusion without sacrificing convenience. This makes the area well suited for permanent living, extended stays, or a retreat that remains well connected.

Here, a slower pace of life meets practical accessibility – a rare and valuable combination.
