Moving to the land of Fado, on a farm in Sintra, right near Lisbon

Join the Portuguese Eldorado ! Madonna, Christian Louboutin, Harrison Ford, Monica Belluci, Eric Cantona, Philippe Starck and Florent Pagny already reside there and benefit from its sunny climate and advantageous taxation. Here, no inheritance or estate taxes, and even less on family fortunes or artistic royalties. More good reasons to fall in love with the country.

A farm on the land of Fado, in Portugal

And invest in high-end real estate. Preferably a town house or an old farm, more discrete and more bohemian, where it's pleasant to live. Such as this rural domain, built at the beginning of the 20th century, right outside the town of Sintra. On 6 hectares of flat and landscaped land, it comprises a manor bordered by a courtyard, a large garden with a vegetable garden and a lake with lots of fish.

A Boheme house filled with history

Ornamented with 18th century panels of ceramic, 7 rooms divided on 2 levels, as well as a large kitchen, a dining room, a living room with a decorated ceiling, 5 bedrooms and an office, spanning 400 m². Without forgetting the caretaker's house on 2 levels, very practical to put up your friends when they come through the area to visit…
