5 Bedroom Detached house with garden, Quinta da Beloura, Sintra

A Rare Single-Storey Retreat in Quinta da Beloura

Set within approximately 2,600 sqm of beautifully landscaped grounds, this exceptional single-storey villa offers a rare combination of privacy, space, natural light and effortless indoor-outdoor living in one of Quinta da Beloura’s most discreet settings.

Surrounded by greenery and positioned close to the golf course and the natural landscape of the Sintra hills, the property enjoys an atmosphere of complete tranquillity while remaining within easy reach of Cascais, Estoril and Lisbon.

The architecture is defined by generous proportions, clean lines and an exceptional connection with the garden. Predominantly arranged on one level, the house unfolds naturally around its outdoor spaces, with expansive glazing drawing the landscape into the interiors and filling the home with natural light throughout the day.

At the heart of the property is an impressive 97 sqm living and dining room. Elegant yet inviting, this remarkable space opens directly onto the garden and swimming pool, creating a seamless transition between interior and exterior and offering an exceptional setting for both everyday living and entertaining.

The 30 sqm kitchen continues the sense of scale and comfort that characterises the entire property.

The private wing comprises five bedrooms, including three suites of approximately 16 sqm, 18 sqm and an impressive 36 sqm master suite. Two further bedrooms, each approximately 16 sqm, share a full bathroom.

A home conceived not only for living, but also for wellbeing, the villa further includes a private office, multipurpose room, gym and Turkish bath, allowing work, leisure and relaxation to coexist naturally within the property.

Outside, the mature landscaped garden creates a remarkable sense of seclusion. Lush greenery surrounds the house and its heated swimming pool, while a variety of outdoor areas provide intimate settings for dining, relaxing and enjoying the garden throughout much of the year.

The property also benefits from a garage and additional parking for up to four vehicles.

Particular attention has been given to materials and craftsmanship. The exterior is clad in natural Xisto Perdiz stone, individually laid by hand, lending the architecture an understated elegance and a strong connection to its natural surroundings.

Inside, solid wood flooring, underfloor heating and large windows reinforce the sense of quality, warmth and comfort throughout the home.

Sustainability and energy efficiency have also been carefully considered, with an extensive installation of solar and photovoltaic panels, designed to support the needs of a substantial family residence.

Yet the appeal of this property extends far beyond its specifications.

There is a distinct sense of calm here — a combination of light, space, nature and privacy that is increasingly difficult to find.

Large single-storey homes are particularly rare within the prime residential market of the Cascais–Sintra area. Their effortless flow, accessibility and connection between living spaces and gardens make them especially desirable, and this property is an exceptional example.

Its location is equally compelling for international families, with convenient access to some of the region’s most established international schools, including Carlucci American International School of Lisbon (CAISL) and TASIS Portugal, together with equestrian facilities, sports clubs, services, shops and leisure amenities.

Sintra, Cascais and Estoril are only a short drive away, as are some of the region’s most beautiful beaches.

Quinta da Beloura itself is one of the most established private residential communities within the Cascais–Sintra corridor, valued for its green surroundings, privacy, peaceful atmosphere and proximity to both the coast and Lisbon.

But perhaps the greatest luxury of this home is its rarity: a substantial residence arranged almost entirely on one level, surrounded by 2,600 sqm of private grounds and offering such an immediate connection with nature.

A discreet and exceptional home for those who value privacy, space and quality of life.
