Mucifal, Sintra | 1.39 ha
Property Overview
Quinta da Areia lies just outside Colares, within the protected landscape of Sintra’s UNESCO-listed hills, with open views toward the Palácio da Pena and Castelo dos Mouros and a level of privacy increasingly rare this close to Lisbon.

- Two-story ranch-style residence
- 100 m² of terraces
- Private chapel

- UNESCO World Heritage Site
The main residence is a two-storey ranch-style house. The structure is substantial but untreated, offering a clear starting point for a full renovation rather than a finished statement. A separate private chapel and an existing pool add to the site’s architectural footprint, both open to restoration or reinterpretation.
The house is connected to mains water, while a private well irrigates the mature fruit and nut trees across the grounds. An adjacent 6,123 m² parcel is also available, offering room to expand the estate or create a greater buffer around it.
Quinta da Areia extends to 13,901 m² across two registered articles: 4,200 m² urban, and 9,701 m² rustic. The main house is 525 m² of Área Bruta Privativa and 120 m² of Área Bruta Dependente, giving a total of 645 m² of Área Bruta de Construção, plus a further 100 m² of terraces.
The scale, zoning protections, and location within a national park create a rare set of constraints and opportunities. This is land that cannot be replicated, suited to a private estate, a low-impact hospitality concept, or a long-term family project shaped over time.
