Landmark 5 Bed Villa | Quinta da Marinha, Cascais

At the entrance of Quinta da Marinha, where Cascais meets the Atlantic in its most exclusive expression, lies a truly irreplaceable property, the very first house built in this iconic enclave and, as such, a genuine piece of local history. Set on a 2,600 sqm plot, complemented by approximately 400 sqm of additional surrounding grounds that further enhance the sense of space, the setting is remarkable. The entrance is discreet, almost invisible from the street, leading into a completely sheltered retreat. Surrounded by mature trees and dense greenery, the property enjoys absolute privacy, no overlooking neighbours, no external views inward, only nature and silence. The atmosphere is that of a private island, where the only sounds are birdsong and the gentle breeze moving through the trees. Despite this serenity, everything is within reach: world-class golf courses, equestrian centres and the ocean itself. From certain areas of the land and the house, subtle sea views emerge, quiet reminders of the Atlantic’s proximity. Facing south/west, the villa benefits from excellent sun exposure and several charming outdoor corners with open views over the surrounding gardens. The pool area stands out as a true oasis, completely private and framed by greenery, offering a rare sense of tranquillity, as if living in a peaceful village immersed in nature, yet only minutes from the centre of Cascais. Inside, the home reveals character and authenticity. The entrance leads to the main living room, where high ceilings with exposed wooden beams create an impressive sense of space and warmth. A fireplace enhances the inviting atmosphere, while large doors establish a seamless connection to the garden. On this level there is also a bedroom, a guest bathroom and a bright kitchen with independent access, linked to a second living room, ideal for family life or entertaining, always with direct access to the outdoors. Upstairs, a charming south-facing suite with private balcony offers serene views over the surrounding nature. Beyond its existing charm, the property benefits from an authorised building capacity of 520 sqm, presenting a rare opportunity to expand or create a contemporary architectural statement while preserving the historical significance of the plot. The potential is as exceptional as the location itself. Properties that combine historical provenance, sea views, complete privacy, exclusive surroundings of golf courses and green areas, and proximity to Cascais (just seven minutes away) are virtually impossible to find. More than a property. A private sanctuary with history, character and extraordinary potential, in one of the most sought-after addresses on Portugal’s coastline.
