Eclectic House With a James Bond-Style Garage on the Portuguese Riviera Lists for €10 Million

If you’re looking to run into Cristiano Ronaldo, this six-bedroom villa near the coastal Portuguese town of Cascais, where the footballer lives, might up your chances.

The detached home, which came to market earlier this month asking €10 million (US$11.79 million), is within the gated Quinta Patino community in the town’s Estoril suburb, and comes with a private green-tiled pool, its own wine cellar and cinema, as well as a moody six-car show garage.

The eclectic house comes with a little French flair, including a grey mansard roof, as well as arched windows and a cream-stucco facade.

The interiors showcase a mix of modern floor-to-ceiling windows as well as more old-school elegance, including black-and-white checkered flooring, extensive crown moldings, a wood-paneled library and classic columns in between arched windows.

There are six bedrooms across 7,000 square feet, as well as a wine cellar, game room, a pergola and easy transitions between the indoors and outdoors.

“This residence was created for the way people truly want to live, with light-filled spaces that flow naturally from the kitchen and dining areas out to the garden and pool,” said listing agent Yared Hagos of Nest Seekers International via email.

Cascais is located in the Portuguese Riviera, roughly 30 minutes from Lisbon, and features sandy beaches, resorts and other visitor attractions.

“This property represents the best of both worlds, complete privacy in one of Portugal’s most prestigious gated communities, and yet you’re just minutes from the beach, the golf courses, and Lisbon’s cultural scene,” Hagos wrote.

Cascais is also one of many Portuguese cities to have benefited from the popularity of the country’s real estate among foreign investors, particularly its high-end homes , according to Hagos. Mansion Global could not determine the identity of the seller.

“With six consecutive months of rising buyer demand and price growth now exceeding 15% annually, prime areas like Lisbon, Cascais and the Algarve are seeing international buyers compete for an increasingly scarce supply of high-end homes,” he said.

The Portuguese Riviera also has seen an influx of celebrities in recent years, including most notably, soccer legend Cristiano Ronaldo, Mansion Global previously reported.
