Next Neighbourhoods 2021: Quinta da Marinha, Cascais, Portugal

This quietly positioned golf resort is a mere 25km from Lisbon and perfectly located between the nature reserve, the beach and the bustling streets of Cascais. Set amongst avenues of pine trees and two 18-hole golf courses, this private 110 ha estate sits elevated with wonderful views of the Sintra mountains to the rear and the Atlantic ocean ahead.

Why is it primed for growth?

With concern growing about future global taxation policies, the Portuguese market has seen a steady flow of buyers attracted by its preferential tax arrangements and amazing quality of life. With spacious and private plots and the incredible location, we feel that this estate has the potential to prove an appealing choice for relocating families.

My favourite bits:

The nearby village of Cascais was once heralded as the summer retreat for Europe’s nobility and, with its laidback café culture and historic cobbled streets, it’s not hard to see why.

What will my money buy me?

Townhouses tend to start at €1.5 million for a two-bedroom villa with a nice garden. For a larger three-bedroom villa with a private pool, you can expect to pay €2.5 million or more. Family villas with large plots can be found for refurbishing (starting at €2.5 million) or newly built (from €4.5 million). Frontline houses overlooking the ocean start from around €8 million.

One thing the locals like to keep secret:

Those in the know can show you how to access the hidden natural ocean pools dotted along the rocky coastline. Follow your dip with a sumptuous lunch in one of the magnificent cliff-top restaurants
