House on the Water - Quinta da Marinha | Cascais, Portugal

A signature property on Portugal’s Atlantic coast.

At the heart of Quinta da Marinha, one of Cascais’s most exclusive residential addresses, the House on the Water is a distinctive architectural creation designed for clients seeking the rarest the market has to offer.

More than a residence, it offers an experience: living surrounded by water, light and nature, in absolute privacy.

Reflecting pools envelop the architecture, giving the house the impression of floating above the landscape. Animated by elegant koi carp, they capture the sky, vegetation and changing light, continually transforming the perception of the property.

At twilight, as the reflections mingle with the property’s lighting, the house reveals its full spectacular dimension.

Architecture in dialogue with its surroundings

Vast glazed surfaces erase the boundaries between indoors and outdoors, opening the living spaces onto the landscaped gardens, pools and Quinta da Marinha golf course.

Natural light flows through the residence and complements its contemporary lines, with every view carefully considered.

The generous reception areas combine space, elegance and discretion. Living rooms, dining rooms and entertaining spaces are equally suited to hosting in style and preserving the intimacy of a true family home.

The Cascais lifestyle

Outside, mature gardens, secluded patios and expansive terraces create a succession of spaces designed to follow the light throughout the day.

Mornings begin overlooking the water. Afternoons unfold among gardens and terraces. Evenings become privileged occasions to entertain family and friends beneath the Atlantic sky.

Everything here has been designed around one essential idea: taking time to live.

Quinta da Marinha

The address is inseparable from the property.

Quinta da Marinha is one of Cascais’s most sought-after residential settings: golf, an equestrian centre, five-star hotels, gastronomy, the Atlantic Ocean and the immediate proximity of Sintra-Cascais Natural Park.

Guincho Beach, the marina and Cascais’s historic centre are just minutes away.

Lisbon and its international airport are approximately thirty minutes away, creating a rare balance between a private retreat and international connectivity.

A property for those who are not looking for the ordinary

Some houses stand out for their location.

Others for their architecture or amenities.

The House on the Water brings all three together.

A signature residence where water becomes architecture, nature enters every room and luxury is expressed with restraint.

A place designed not only to be owned, but to be lived in, shared and passed on.

At Quinta da Marinha, truly unique properties are rare.

Those unlike any other are rarer still.
