Lisbon, Lisbon, Portugal

The history of this remarkable property dates back to the 17th century with the construction of the emblematic Quinta de Santo António. Located in the heart of Ameixoeira, the estate was inhabited until 1987, when a fire marked the beginning of a long period of abandonment, while preserving the timeless character that still defines it today.

Set within the Historic Interest Area of Ameixoeira, the property lies in a rare and secluded corner of the city where silence and serenity prevail. Over the centuries, it served as a summer retreat for writers, politicians and other cultural and intellectual figures drawn to the tranquility and unique beauty of this place.

The property currently benefits from a Prior Information Request (PIP) approved for the development of an exclusive residential condominium composed of seven villas. The project allows for approximately 1,900 square metres of above-ground construction, complemented by underground garages.

The future residences will be surrounded by a romantic 19th-century garden, creating a truly unique setting. The grounds feature charming heritage elements including a swimming pool, landscaped gardens and the remarkable “Fonte dos Embrechados” — an exquisite fountain where water flows gently between shells, representing a rare example of traditional decorative craftsmanship.

The PIP also includes the creation of 15 underground parking spaces, ensuring comfort and functionality in a harmonious fusion of historic heritage and contemporary architecture.
