Description
A Royal Treasure on the Banks of the Tagus
Few properties in Portugal manage to bring together history, heritage, location and exclusivity in such a unique way.
Built in 1860 under the direction of the renowned architect Cinatti of Siena, this remarkable property was the residence of His Royal Highness, King Ferdinand II, preserving to this day the aristocratic character and grandeur that marked one of the most emblematic eras in Portuguese history.
Located in an absolutely privileged position over the Tagus River, the property offers a rare front of approximately 145 meters facing the water, in a first-rate location by the sea. Its southward orientation provides extraordinary luminosity and panoramic views that extend over the estuary, creating a setting of timeless beauty.
Surrounded by centenary gardens of rare beauty, it reveals an environment of absolute privacy and tranquillity. Among winding paths and romantic corners, tree species of high heritage value stand out, such as majestic araucarias, plane trees and dracaenas, creating an atmosphere that transports you to another era.
The most iconic element of the property is the historic Clock Tower, which stands as a symbol of this unique place and testimony to more than a century of history.
The main palace features an elegant neoclassical architecture, marked by the grandeur of its proportions, the richness of the decorative details and the harmony of its spaces. Access is via a magnificent porch that leads to an impressive entrance hall, crowned by a large skylight that illuminates the monumental central staircase.
The halls follow one another with a rare fluidity, preserving original elements of high historical value. The library, the hunting room, the elegant reception rooms and the extraordinary dining room stand out, where magnificent nineteenth-century rosewood furniture remains, testimonies of an era of refinement and prestige.
On the upper floors, the main rooms and bedrooms benefit from a privileged connection to the gardens and open views over the Tagus, providing an environment of serenity and distinction that is difficult to find today.
The property is complemented by the old stables, service accommodations, garages and various support structures that reinforce its enormous potential for use.
Perfectly adaptable to different prestigious projects, this property represents an exceptional opportunity for the creation of a luxury hotel, an embassy, a foundation or cultural association of reference, or simply a unique private residence, aimed at those looking for a truly unrepeatable heritage.
Fully walled and equipped with its own water supply system, it also preserves a historic rainwater drainage aqueduct that crosses Avenida Marginal towards the river, reflecting the constructive quality and vision of its creators.
Currently belonging to the heirs of His Royal Highness D. Joao I and D. Filipa de Lencastre, Queen of Portugal, it is protected by the heritage safeguard plan of the Municipality of Oeiras, ensuring the preservation of its historical and architectural identity for future generations.
Just 15 minutes from the centre of Lisbon, 30 minutes from the International Airport and a few steps from the beach, it also benefits from an exceptional tax framework, being exempt from IMI and IMT.
More than a property, it represents a rare opportunity to acquire one of the most emblematic private historical heritage sites in Portugal.
