Own a Piece of History

Nestled in the heart of Sintra's UNESCO World Heritage landscape, Vila Dégaud is a palatial residence of rare prestige—once home to the aristocratic Counts of Penha Longa and officially registered in Portugal's Arquivo Nacional da Torre do Tombo.
 
What makes this opportunity truly exceptional is that the architectural project has already been approved by City Hall with full consent from the General Directorate of Culture—a remarkable achievement in one of Europe's most protected heritage zones.
 
With financing options that include 20% loan forgiveness, 0% interest renovation programs, and substantial tax reductions, Vila Dégaud represents more than a property acquisition.
 
It's an investment where heritage, profitability, and an extraordinary lifestyle converge.

Location & Significance

Sintra: A UNESCO Sanctuary
Sintra is where royalty retreated and poets found inspiration. This UNESCO World Heritage site captivates with Romantic palaces, forested hillsides, and exotic gardens. Lord Byron called it "a glorious Eden"—centuries later, it remains one of Europe's most enchanting destinations.
 
Your Neighborhood: Elegance Meets Accessibility
Vila Dégaud sits on a quiet street in Sintra's village heart—private yet steps from cafés, cultural venues, and essential services. Lisbon is 30 minutes away. Cascais and world-class dining? Just 10 minutes. Golden beaches, ancient gardens, and Portugal's oldest wine region surround you. This rare location offers car-free living with access to everything that matters—from morning markets to evening ocean views.
