Colares – Character property with remarkable garden, independent outbuildings and great potential
Located on the heights of Colares, in the heart of the Sintra-Cascais Natural Park, this singular property offers a rare opportunity to create a place to live or an exceptional project in one of the most preserved environments in Portugal.
The estate is distinguished by an exceptional garden, shaped over the years, a real botanical refuge composed of Japanese maples, camellias, sculpted olive trees and many Mediterranean species. The whole creates a unique atmosphere, both structured and natural.
The main house, of about 350 m², blends harmoniously into the terraced grounds. Its architecture, inspired by Japanese lines, develops beautiful volumes and a fluid relationship between interior and exterior.
It includes:
– an owner's suite with panoramic terrace on the upper floor
– several reception areas, including a living room with fireplace, a dining room and an office/library
– a main kitchen and a summer kitchen
– several bedrooms and bathrooms
– an independent T1 apartment on the ground floor
The property requires renovation, especially on the bathrooms and some fittings, thus offering the possibility of rethinking the whole according to contemporary standards.
Organization and potential
The property is distinguished by a particularly well thought out organization, with three totally independent accesses, allowing the different uses to be clearly separated:
– a dedicated main access to the house
– an independent access to the T1 apartment located on the ground floor
– a third completely separate access for the rental area
In the lower part of the land, in a totally dissociated area and not overlooked with the main house, the old tennis court has been transformed into:
– two T2 apartments
– a T1 apartment
With a total surface area of approximately 190 m², these units currently generate approximately €42,000 in annual rental income, with leases in place until 2026.
This configuration allows for independent use of the spaces while preserving the privacy of the main house, offering a rare balance between residential use and investment.
Location
Located in Colares, the property benefits from an exceptional natural environment while remaining accessible:
– about 15 minutes from the beaches (Praia Grande, Adraga, Cascais)
– 25–35 minutes from international schools
– 40–45 minutes from Lisbon and its airport
Positioning
This property is intended for a buyer looking for:
– a residence of character to be personalized
– a development project
– or an investment with existing income
Properties of this nature, combining environment, surface and potential, are rare today in Sintra.
