Historic Chalet In Sintra | A Truly Unique Property

HISTORIC CHALET IN SINTRA | A TRULY UNIQUE PROPERTY

An exceptional property, fully restored, where the history of Sintra meets architecture, art, design and contemporary comfort.

In the heart of Sintra, close to Pena Palace, the Moorish Castle, Quinta da Regaleira and Biester Palace, stands this historic 19th-century chalet, originally built in 1886 and now fully restored through a highly demanding project with meticulous attention to detail.

Set within the Cultural Landscape of Sintra, classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the property enjoys one of Portugal’s most iconic historical and scenic settings.

With approximately 613 m² of gross built area, set on a plot of approximately 1,270 m², the property preserves the character and identity of its original architecture while incorporating contemporary solutions for comfort, efficiency and functionality.

The restoration, carried out over approximately five years, was led by architect Luís Paiva Raposo, with interiors by Rita Valadão and landscaping by Maria João Monteiro. Every element was individually considered, from the structural restoration to the finishes, bespoke carpentry, lighting, materials and decorative elements.

The result is a truly singular residence: not simply a renovated house, but a complete project, conceived specifically for the property and executed to a level of detail rarely found on the market.

## EXCEPTIONAL ARCHITECTURE, ART AND MATERIALS

The property combines noble materials, craftsmanship and carefully selected design elements.

Among its most notable features are:

* Old Riga timber flooring;
* Bespoke lacquered wood carpentry;
* Handcrafted ironwork and architectural elements associated with the Ricardo Espírito Santo Foundation;
* Handcrafted ornamental plaster ceilings;
* Exclusive frescoes and paintings by artist Bela Silva in the entrance hall and dining room;
* Lacquered wooden window frames with double glazing, providing thermal and acoustic comfort;
* Bathrooms finished with carefully selected marbles, including Thassos, Carrara, Calacatta Vagli Oro, white marble from Ecuador and Noir Saint Laurent;
* Guest bathroom finished in Noir Saint Laurent marble, with gold-leaf panels;
* Porcelanosa sanitary ware;
* Italian Antonio Lupi mirrors;
* Hansgrohe taps and fittings;
* Bespoke furniture and decorative elements;
* Carefully integrated lighting and designer pieces.

The entire property is also equipped with ducted air conditioning, an alarm system, fire detection and independent electrical panels for each room.

## A PROPERTY FOR THE FEW

There are historic homes.
There are luxury properties.
There are exceptional restoration projects.

But it is extremely rare to find all these elements brought together within a single property.

The history of an 1886 chalet, an absolutely unique location, a signature architectural project, bespoke interiors, original works of art, noble materials, a private garden and five years of dedicated restoration work make this a property that would be exceptionally difficult to replicate.

It may serve as an exceptional private residence, a property designed to accommodate family and guests or, subject to the appropriate regulatory framework, an asset with potential for a luxury hospitality project.

More than acquiring a home in Sintra, this is an opportunity to acquire a property with its own identity, history and an exceptional level of execution — a truly rare opportunity in the market.

A unique property.
A story that continues.
An opportunity that is unlikely to arise again.
