Situated at the end of a private cul-de-sac, the property offers an exceptional level of privacy, tranquillity and exclusivity. Bordered to the south and east by protected woodland of pine and cork oak trees, where no future construction is permitted, it enjoys a truly unique natural setting.

The reinforced concrete frame, strengthened by curved concrete perimeter walls and a retaining wall extending across all three levels, provides outstanding structural integrity and seismic resistance.

The private wellness area features a Finnish sauna and a hammam, creating a luxurious spa-like atmosphere, complemented by a fully equipped summer kitchen and an independent outdoor shower.
Meticulously maintained throughout the years, the property has benefited from the recent renewal of its principal technical systems, ensuring excellent reliability, efficiency and long-term peace of mind. Located just minutes from the beaches of Adraga, Praia Grande and Azenhas do Mar, as well as the historic village of Colares, the property also enjoys easy access to Cascais and Lisbon, offering a rare balance between complete privacy, protected natural surroundings and excellent accessibility.
