Set among orchards and rolling hills outside Torres Vedras, 45 minutes North of Lisbon, Quinta Nova is a 16th-century estate offering both architectural heritage and development potential. The 12.3-hectare property lies 30 minutes from the coast, surrounded by Rocha pear fields that provide steady annual income. It is currently listed for €2.95m.

The estate’s architecture centres on a grand courtyard framed by vine-covered stone buildings. The 525sqm main house and 150sqm guest house are joined by outbuildings including a former wine press, wine cellar, stables and a storage shed — totalling over 1,000sqm of built area. Mature trees and the Montejunto ridge shape a tranquil rural setting with long views and natural shade.
An approved PIP (prior information request) from Torres Vedras municipality allows the buildable area to expand from 1,066sqm to 1,719sqm, with the option to change its use from residential to tourism. Concept designs include a 25-suite rural hotel or four independent homes. The property’s existing fabric also lends itself to restoration as a single private residence.
