Detached house, 5 rooms, Sintra, Azóia
Quinta do Rio Touro was acquired in 2023. It is believed to have originally been a small convent before later becoming an agricultural estate. After many years abandoned, it was fully restored in the early 1990s. Today, it stands as a traditional Portuguese manor house set within the Sintra Natural Reserve, surrounded by forest and complete privacy. Located just 10 minutes from Guincho Beach, 15 minutes from Cascais and 30 minutes from Lisbon, it is one of the rare fully restored traditional Portuguese properties in the region.
The estate underwent a complete renovation of its electrical system and the installation of security cameras, internet throughout the house and a modern alarm system. All buildings were renovated, including doors, windows, staircases and handcrafted exotic hardwood frames designed to withstand the humidity of the Sintra mountains.
The garden was redesigned with a tropical inspiration, featuring Australian and New Zealand tree ferns, rhododendrons, palm trees, magnolias, camellias and a variety of flowering plants. It also includes orange trees, banana trees, lemon trees, persimmon trees and pomegranate trees, as well as an organic vegetable garden with fresh produce and daily eggs.
The main manor house offers 5 suites with full bathrooms. Four bedrooms include built-in wardrobes, two suites feature private terraces, and all rooms overlook the garden and have fiber internet access. The social area includes a living room with fireplace, panoramic terrace and fish pond. The dining room features a vaulted ceiling restored by Alentejo craftsmen and four 18th-century tile panels included in the sale. The property also includes a spacious TV room with fireplace, fully equipped rustic kitchen, laundry room, gym or garage for one car, outdoor parking, storage rooms and a sunny courtyard.
The annexes include a fully restored pool house and changing area. A magnificent swimming pool/water tank completes this exclusive 3,000 square meters property.
