Mansion | For Sale | Oeiras

An exquisite nineteenth-century mansion overlooking the Tagus River and the Atlantic Ocean, Quinta do Relógio is a rare architectural gem, rich in history and royal heritage.

Originally commissioned by Tomás Maria Bessone and completed in 1860 under the direction of architect Cinatti of Siena, the property reflects a strong Italian influence in its elegant design. It later became the residence of His Royal Highness King Ferdinand II of Portugal.

Ideally located along the Lisbon-Cascais coastal road, just 20 minutes from Lisbon city center and the international airport, this large property offers approximately 6,000 m² of land and 1,600 m² of built area, fully enclosed by stone walls and accessible through three closed entrances.

The property consists of a main palace, the iconic clock tower, and several ancillary buildings -- together encompassing about 40 rooms. Among its features are extensive gardens, courtyards, terraces overlooking the sea, stables, garages, staff quarters, a self-contained apartment and a private water fountain. Notably, the property even includes an underground tunnel that connects directly to the sea.

Classified as a "Grade B Farm" under the Municipal Plan for the Safeguarding of Oeiras, Quinta do Relógio allows for architecturally sensitive expansion and new constructions, as long as the existing character and framework are respected.
