Magnificent property in the heart of Ribatejo, designed by the architect António José Brito e Cunha, located just 40 minutes from Lisbon, as well as Santo Estêvão Golf and the village with the same name.

This stunning 32-hectare luxury estate was thought out in detail and has unique architectural and decorative elements, where the decoration of the renowned interior decorator Maria José Salavisa stand out.

The bathrooms of the master bedrooms are decorated with hand-painted tiles from the Fábrica de Sant 'Anna, with different motifs, from a tropical landscape to a high school equestrian movement.

The property also has a guest house, garages, carpentry, swimming pool, large lawn (where you can land a helicopter), tennis court and official 'skeet' shooting range with a support pavilion with lounge, bar, sanitary facilities and dining area.
