Modular wooden homes for sale in Portugal: fixed price and ready in just 5 months

The housing crisis in Portugal is here to stay, with property prices rising far beyond the average family income. In this context, alternative construction methods are gaining traction. Carmo Wood has recently launched new lines of modular and sustainable wooden homes, offering fixed prices and completion in just five months.

These homes are built with solid wood, combining thermal comfort, sustainability, speed of construction, fixed prices from the outset, and a variety of finishes, according to a statement sent to the press. Thanks to an industrialised model, which involves manufacturing the homes in a factory followed by on-site assembly, the construction process takes an average of just five months.

Carmo Wood’s new housing range includes three lines of modular homes designed to meet different demands and budgets:

• Nature Homes: Ranging from 70 square metres, these homes are built with laminated wood and external thermal insulation. Available in three different models, they provide a functional and efficient solution for first-time family homes or simple, practical living spaces.
• Green Villas: Ranging from 120 m2 to 240 m2, these homes feature contemporary finishes and a combination of wood, glass, and stone. Perfect for those seeking design, energy efficiency, and harmony with the landscape.
• Golden Villas: With sizes ranging from 180 m2 to 400 m2, these homes offer a “luxury sustainable solution,” ideal for those looking for high-end living with an eco-friendly approach.

“The biggest myth about wooden houses is that they don’t last. Ours are designed to last over 100 years, with treated wood, fire and moisture protection, and minimal maintenance,” says João Figueiredo, CEO of Carmo Wood Engineering. He adds that the final investment in such a home “can be significantly lower than that of an equivalent masonry house.” For instance, the first Nature Home project, now in its final stages of construction in Sobral de Monte Agraço, represented an investment of around €180,000.

These wooden homes are turnkey, with options to include architectural design, foundations, finishes, and landscaping. Additionally, bank financing is available for this type of housing. This offers a housing solution not only for families seeking a home but also as an “attractive option for investors or hospitality and tourism industry entrepreneurs who value durability, aesthetics, and quick construction,” they explain.

For Carmo Wood, the launch of these new wooden homes is part of its growth strategy, with the company expecting this segment to account for between 10% and 15% of its turnover in 2025, with the potential to double the following year. To achieve this goal, the Portuguese company, with over 45 years of experience, is strengthening its factory capacity and technical teams, investing around €1 million.
