Villa From 1890 In The World Heritage Site Of Sintra- 4.000.000€

---

Sintra is an Unesco World Heritage site. Its origins trace back to the Moorish era, that here ended back in the year 1147. The Moors left an indelible mark on Sintra, with their architectural prowess evident in the sinuous alleyways and ornate tilework that still grace the town. As the centuries unfolded, Sintra’s allure grew, becoming a favoured destination for Portuguese royalty seeking respite from the summer heat. The splendour of Sintra’s noble residences, this being one, and their meticulous gardens created a harmonious interplay between man and nature.

The village’s bonds with nearby Cascais through the Sintra-Cascais Natural Park. Sintra, with its awe-inspiring monuments and its timeless allure, remains a testament to the enduring power of history, nature, and human imagination.

The property is located in the Estefânia area (centre of Sintra), near to the main street, a pedestrian street with shops, banks and pharmacies, 5 minutes walking distance to the Sintra XIX century terminus train station (train that goes to Lisbon and connects to the main train network) and less than one kilometer from the magnificent historic centre.

The nearly 6.000 sqm property includes the main house and a caretaker’s house with approx. 733 sqm of living space and 80 sqm of dependent space. The property has two separate entrances, connected by two distinct streets. In between the two houses, there is an orchard area.

The main chalet has four stories.

The house is both quiet and secluded, yet with everything nearby, in terms of shops, pharmacy, banks and supermarkets.
