A quinta in Portugal is a type of property like a manor that was originally used as a farmhouse. Today, many of these traditional Portuguese houses have been converted into luxury mansions and villas, complete with everything the discerning buyer needs to live in the lap of luxury in Portugal.
This property for sale in Sintra, a popular destination on the Portuguese coast near Estoril and Lisbon, is an excellent opportunity to buy prime real estate for a good price in a promising market. The location is perfect, with magnificent views over the sea and charming stone roads bordered by channels of crystal-clear water flowing down from the mountain of Sintra.
There are an incredible 14 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms, each fitted out with the highest-quality furnishings and materials. There is ample space for relaxing and entertaining both inside and out, with 100,000 square metres (1,076,400 square feet) of land surrounding the entire property, with woodland galore.
The property also comes with its own chapel on the slopes of the Serra de Sintra and an indoor pool. It’s a great place for children and families to explore and have fun, and for adults to relax away from the hustle and bustle of city life.
It has all the right conditions to become a dream location for tourists due to its proximity to Cascais and Lisbon, while still retaining a modicum of peace and quiet. When you’re not there, you could consider letting it out as a short-term tourist accommodation, which would make it an excellent investment.
If you’re looking to buy a different kind of property in Portugal with great prospects and luxury features, you won’t find anything better than this house for sale in Sintra.
