Casa Privata Con Piscina E Terreno DI 840 M² In Vendita

Casa da Ribeira - A family home at the end of a quiet lane, minutes from international schools

Some houses have numbers. This one has a name.

Casa da Ribeira sits at the very end of a small private lane shared by only three properties, in Baratã, a green residential area between Sintra and Lisbon. In winter, you can still hear the stream that gave the house its name. Most mornings, the first sound is birdsong.

A day here

Mornings start slowly, with coffee on the suite balcony and an open view over green countryside. The school run is easy: Prime School International is 4 minutes away, Carlucci American International School 7 minutes, and TASIS Portugal 8 minutes.

Afternoons belong to the garden. On an 840 m² plot with over 620 m² of outdoor space, there is room for a swimming pool, a barbecue area, an outdoor shower and bathroom, a dog, bikes, and long lunches with family and friends. This is a house built for real summers.

Evenings end back on the balcony, where the sunset makes it very hard to go inside.

Inside the house

The ground floor is designed for family life: a bright living room with a fireplace and several doors onto the garden, a second living room currently used as a playroom and home office (easily converted into a bedroom, with a full bathroom on the same floor), and a large kitchen with a central island, open to the living area. Behind the scenes, the house works just as well: a large pantry, a laundry room, a utility room and a walk-in storage area.

Open stone stairs lead to the first floor, with two generous bedrooms, a shared bathroom with double sinks, and a true master suite with a walk-in closet, an oversized bathroom and the balcony. Every bathroom in the house has a window and natural light.

Outside, three independent storage buildings offer extra space, and one of them has potential to become a small guest studio (subject to the necessary approvals). Private parking and an EV charger complete the picture.

Location

Quiet and green, yet right next to the A16 motorway: Sintra in about 15 minutes, Lisbon city centre and Lisbon Airport in about 25 to 30 minutes, Cascais and the beaches in about 25 minutes. Belas Clube de Campo, with its golf course, is 12 minutes away.

One last detail

In the garden stands the ’pacifier tree’, where the children and cousins who grew up here once left their pacifiers. Families from Denmark and the Nordic countries will recognise the tradition. It was never staged for photos: it is simply part of this home’s story.

That story with this family ends here. Yours could start now.
