Set within Quinta de São Sebastião, this 18th-century palacete carries a rare level of architectural and historical weight in Lisbon. Once inhabited by King João V and recognised as a Royal House, the property has evolved over centuries while retaining its formal presence and scale.
Offered at €7,500,000, the palace comprises 1,514 m² of built space across three levels, with seven bedrooms and eight bathrooms. It sits within landscaped grounds and forms part of a private condominium with additional leisure facilities.
An 18th-century royal residence
The original construction dates back to the 1700s, with later interventions that respected its historic character. In the 20th century, architect Raul Lino oversaw expansion and conservation works, reinforcing its architectural coherence.
During the 1970s, landscape architect Gonçalo Ribeiro Telles redesigned the gardens, shaping the green framework that surrounds the palace today.
Frescoed reception rooms and a private chapel
The ground floor opens with an entrance hall leading to a principal living room with a fireplace and direct access to the gardens. An imposing private chapel adds a distinctive architectural feature rarely found in residential properties.
On the first floor, the reception areas expand considerably. Several interconnected living rooms include one with a prominent fireplace, alongside an oval music room decorated with frescoes. The main dining room, designed to seat 30 guests, features painted walls and ceilings.
Seven suites across the principal floors and attic
The palace includes multiple suites arranged across its three floors. On the ground level, two master suites with dressing areas open directly onto the gardens, accompanied by two additional suites and storage space.
The attic level provides two further suites connected by a shared patio. In total, the residence offers seven bedrooms and eight bathrooms, allowing for flexible residential or guest accommodation.
Landscaped grounds and private access
The palacete stands within a plot of 2,780 m² and benefits from extensive landscaped surroundings, including a century-old fountain. One private entrance allows exterior parking for up to 30 vehicles, in addition to a garage with three spaces.
Modern systems have been integrated discreetly. Air conditioning, central heating and fireplaces connected to the heating system ensure year-round comfort.
Health club, pools and historic events hall
Beyond its private grounds, the property forms part of a condominium that provides access to two swimming pools, one indoor and heated, and one outdoor. A Health Club and a 19th-century-style events hall, redesigned in 1920 by Raul Lino, extend the estate’s recreational capacity.
In Lumiar, a residential district with historic estates and green space on the northern side of Lisbon, this is a palace-scale property with documented royal links and substantial reception areas. Its architectural pedigree and scale place it in a category rarely available within the capital.
