Villa for sale in Cascais - Portugal

For Sale

This grand villa is situated in Cascais, which along with neighbouring Estoril makes up the Portuguese Riviera. Magnificently set upon the northern shore, where the Tagus river reaches the open Atlantic, Cascais and Estoril occupy a privileged spot about half an hour from the bustle, culture, historical sites, shops and restaurants of Lisbon, one of the prettiest and scenic capitals of Europe.

Less than 20 minutes inland is the stunning little village of Sintra, a fairytale place that enjoys a microclimate more akin to Switzerland. The former residence of choice of the Portuguese royal family, it is now a protected Unesco World Heritage site. With marinas, fine golf courses, equestrian centres, international schools, shopping centres, good restaurants and stylish beaches all around, this is an area that offers excellent quality of life.

It is within Gandarinha, one of the finest residential areas of Cascais, that we find this grand home, which covers a combined built area of 1,400m2 on a substantial plot of 5,200m2. A dramatic entrance hall leads to an elegant living room and a unique, circular dining room. The study is truly special, offering an inspired take on the classic English gentleman’s study, complete with wood-panelled walls and leather fauteuils.

Gracing the main living area is a stylish indoor garden, while the five bedroom suites look out over the manicured, mature garden with its tall trees, immaculate lawns and subtropical plants. The main house is further completed by three more bathrooms, a kitchen to match a home of this standing, service and storage areas, a technical support room, large garage and a terrace that flows towards a stunning swimming pool.

From here, the views are directly to the sea, flanked by the lush greenery of the garden. The estate also contains a second, smaller villa, which comprises an entrance hall, five bedrooms, three bathrooms, a cloakroom, kitchen, larder and laundry, an independent garage and private terraces and swimming pool. This property even has its own entrance and driveway.

With the facilities and glamour of the surrounding area, including Europe’s largest casino, and a marvellous year-round climate, this is a true paradise within Europe. The total area can be divided into 3 properties, each one with an independent villa.

Furniture not included.
