Farm in Sintra, Estrada Nova da Rainha

Estate of 2.500 hectares, with more than 1007 sqm of gross construction area, including six independent houses, swimming pool, garden and garages, located in Colares, Sintra, in one of the region’s most emblematic areas, between the slopes of the Sintra mountains and the Atlantic Ocean, just a few minutes from the historic centre of Sintra.
Quinta da Palma is a unique property set in the heart of Sintra’s historic landscape, where heritage, nature and architecture come together in a rare and distinctive way. The estate unfolds across different landscaped terraces, taking advantage of the natural topography and creating an atmosphere of complete privacy and tranquillity.
With origins associated with architect João Frederico Ludovice, author of the Mafra Palace-Convent, Quinta da Palma reflects a sophisticated and intimate Baroque language. The composition of the estate, with several independent buildings, gives it a distinctive character within the context of Sintra’s historic estates.
The property comprises six independent houses: a main 3-bedroom house, a chapel house with 3 bedrooms, a caretaker’s house divided into two 2-bedroom units, an American-style 3-bedroom house, a Tuscan-style 3-bedroom house, and an annex/studio. This versatile configuration, marked by a high degree of privacy and autonomy, allows adaptation to different lifestyles and may function as a multigenerational family residence .
The estate is fully self-sufficient in water resources: the houses are supplied by a borehole, while the automatic irrigation system for the entire property is fed directly by Sintra’s natural mineral springs.
The outdoor spaces are among the property’s most remarkable features, with extensive wooded areas, fruit trees, a private vegetable garden and large green spaces that reinforce the connection to Sintra’s natural surroundings. Among the most distinctive elements are the swimming pool and water tanks covered with antique tiles. The tiled walls and terraced gardens evoke the aristocratic tradition of 18th-century recreational estates.
Quinta da Palma represents an investment opportunity in a unique heritage asset, where authenticity, privacy and appreciation potential converge in a truly exceptional setting.
