Quinta do Relógio, Historic Palace on the First Line of the Sea in Oeiras

Quinta do Relógio, A Historic Palace by the Sea, A Unique Legacy in Portugal

There are exceptional properties. And then there are heritages that transcend generations.

On the first line of the sea, between Lisbon and Cascais, stands the emblematic Quinta do Relógio, one of the most distinguished historic properties on the Portuguese coast. Built in 1860 by the prestigious architect Cinatti of Siena, it was the summer residence of His Majesty Ferdinand II, perpetuating an aristocratic heritage that remains alive to this day.

Implanted in a plot of about 5,589 m², this property offers approximately 145 meters of seafront, with absolutely unobstructed panoramic views over the Tagus estuary and the Atlantic Ocean. An unrepeatable setting, where architecture, history and nature coexist in perfect harmony.

The composition of the farm is as rare as it is impressive. In addition to the main palace, it includes an elegant Guest House, a Clock Tower that gives identity to the property, old stables, garages, support accommodation and large historic gardens, forming an architectural ensemble of enormous heritage value.

The entrance leads to a majestic hall illuminated by a central skylight, from which a monumental staircase starts that organizes the different spaces of the residence. Large reception halls, library, living rooms, office, dining room, kitchen and several rooms are elegantly distributed, benefiting from high ceilings, abundant natural light and permanent views over the sea and gardens.

The exteriors are truly extraordinary. Among centenary trees, rare botanical species, historic paths and carefully designed garden areas, the iconic Clock Tower stands out, an element that has become a symbol of the property and one of the most recognized images of the Oeiras seafront.

The entire farm is fully walled, has water autonomy and preserves an old drainage aqueduct that crosses Avenida Marginal to the sea, testifying to the high level of engineering and planning at the time.

Classified as a property of high patrimonial interest by the Municipality of Oeiras, it benefits from IMI and IMT exemption, constituting both a historical asset and an investment opportunity of enormous relevance.

Due to its size, location and legal framework, this property has a unique potential for different uses, from a private residence of representation, institutional headquarters, embassy, foundation, cultural space, boutique hotel or luxury hotel project, always maintaining the exclusive character that distinguishes it.

The location further reinforces its rarity. Located on Avenida Marginal, it is just a few minutes from beaches, marinas, golf courses, international schools, business centers and the main road accesses, allowing you to reach the center of Lisbon in about 15 minutes and the International Airport in approximately 20 minutes.
