Description

Located in the historical heart of Leceia, in the parish of Barcarena, Oeiras municipality, this property represents a rare opportunity in one of the most authentic and peaceful areas of the region. Here, rural charm harmoniously blends with the proximity to urban centers, offering a serene lifestyle without giving up convenience. With a generous plot of 558m², situated in a consolidated urban area, the property includes two licensed dwellings, each approximately 50m². Although they require renovation, these two one-bedroom units (five rooms with 100 m²) offer a solid foundation for multiple rehabilitation or reconstruction possibilities. Additionally, the construction potential is significant, allowing up to 334m² of gross area, according to the Municipal Master Plan (UOPG Poente Norte), with a land use index of 0.6. The location is truly strategic, with easy access to major roads — A5, CREL, and IC19 — and just minutes from the most important technological hubs in the region, such as Quinta da Fonte, Lagoas Park, Taguspark, and the future “Parque Central,” an ambitious business and residential complex that promises to further enhance this area. From an investment perspective, the possibilities are broad and attractive: from building a single-family or two-family home with historical features, to creating a tourist project like Local Accommodation or a Boutique Guesthouse, to developing housing for resale or rental. This is a strategic investment in a growing area, marked by high demand and a scarcity of qualified supply. A few minutes from Oeiras, Cascais, Sintra, and Lisbon, this property offers the perfect balance between tranquility and accessibility. Located next to the Church of Our Lady of Piety and the Prehistoric Castro of Leceia, it is surrounded by heritage, history, and a truly unique environment.

Location: Barcarena, Oeiras, Barcarena

The etymology of the toponym "Barcarena" is controversial, with several authors suggesting that it might be a corruption of the toponym "Alcanena." Barcarena is a place whose occupation dates back to the Late Neolithic, with constructions from the Chalcolithic period. It is a reference for a known settlement of populations in the area, originating on the high western slope overlooking the valley, more than 5,500 years ago, indicating significant development based on an agro-pastoral economy. Barcarena is a settlement with centuries of history, located in the valley of the Barcarena stream. The settlement extends along the east and west banks of the stream of the same name and is flanked by two symmetrical slopes, consisting of two hills about 130 meters in altitude, situated both on the eastern and western sides of the settlement, while the entire valley stretches from north to south, towards the Tagus estuary, with Cabo Espichel on the horizon and routes to the south of the Portuguese maritime coast. Leceia is a place belonging to the parish of Barcarena, in Oeiras, with roots in the prehistoric occupation of the site. The locality is situated at the top of a steep slope, west of the Barcarena stream valley, whose natural resources facilitated the construction of recreational and leisure farms. Currently, it forms an urban continuum with the town of Barcarena. The oldest part of Leceia (Leceia de Baixo) is located near the Chalcolithic Hillfort of Leceia, known since 1878 in what is the largest prehistoric exploration area in Portugal. The settlement then expanded to the area known as Leceia de Cima, where the Church of Our Lady of Piety is located.
