Dreams rule life

Casas-de-Portugal-N187-Nov-2021.webp
In issue nº 187 of the Casas de Portugal magazine, we find an extensive photo reportage of a rusticasa® built several decades ago. Set on an Alentejo estate, on the edge of a lake and surrounded by cork oaks and pine trees, this log house has over the years become the dream that rules life, as the title of the report states.

“A house and an annex, erected on a plot of land that adds up to 58 hectares, integrally fenced, and the landscape of cork oaks, pines and a meadow with pastures, typical of the region, sum up this family project.”

You can read the full report in the following images or by downloading the PDF file. You can also purchase or subscribe to the magazine in paper or digital format at this link: Casas de Portugal.
