Water & energy
Rainwater collection and storage, protected water resources, and locally generated renewable energy create a diversified network of water and energy sources, strengthening the estate’s long-term resilience.
THE MONTADO CORRIDOR COLLECTION
Rooted in Portugal.
Designed for a healthier, conscious and joyful future.
Our Portuguese Collection brings the Upupa vision to a landscape of trees, shrubs, pasture and open space, within reach of Lisbon. A place for a private home, a more direct relationship with the food you eat, and the freedom to live at your own pace.
The collection is conceived as a professionally operated off-grid estate, combining individual privacy with shared infrastructure and land managed for both production and nature.

Life at Upupa
Room to grow. Time to enjoy it.
A swim in a natural pool. Time outside with your family. The simple pleasure of knowing the place you return to. Upupa is designed to make a more autonomous future feel like a life you want to live today.
Master Plan
Fifteen homes, one thriving land
Homes sit among the trees and shrubs, with space for privacy and open views. Productive gardens, shared places and water systems form a connected landscape, shaped around the character of the Portuguese Montado.
Greater autonomy
The systems behind everyday life
Water, energy and food are part of the design from the beginning. Shared infrastructure allows each home to benefit from systems cared for at the scale of the estate.
Food & resources
Greenhouses, cropland, orchards and pastures support diverse food production. Preparation, preservation and storage extend the harvest, while composting and water reuse return resources to the land.
People & care
Specialist teams, preventive maintenance and practical operating routines support the homes and landscape. Residents can take part in land-based activities by choice.
