Quinta do Castanheiro in Colares was built in the mid eighteenth century. The property is located on the northern slopes of the Serra de Sintra with views to Praia das Maçãs and the Atlantic to the west and towards Mafra to the northeast. It is nestled in a fold of the hills so that neither winds from the sea nor the interior reach the lovingly tended gardens and the pool area. The 330 sqm house has its living room upstairs to benefit from the views. The dining, study and kitchen overlook the courtyard in the entrance. There are 3 bedrooms and 3-1/2 bathrooms. The garage can take 2 cars and there is a town approval for a 60m2 addition to the roof of the garage.
