 Quinta do Papagaio- WAREHOUSE -| Camarate 

There are places that are built.
And there are places that carry history. 

Quinta do Papagaio, in Camarate, is one of those rare properties where the past remains present in every construction detail, in the layout of the land, and in the unique identity of the entire estate. 

With a total area of 1.332 hectares, this property stands out for its privacy, scale, and enormous potential for different uses, while being located just outside Lisbon, with close proximity to the city’s main road accesses and infrastructures. 

For decades, this space served a highly specific and specialized purpose: it was used as an ammunition warehouse, a cartridge loading workshop, and a retail space connected to hunting and gunpowder-related activities.

An operation that required very particular technical specifications — many of
which are still reflected today in the authenticity of the property. 

Until around a year ago, this space was leased to Espingardaria Belga — a company with nearly 120 years of history, dedicated to the trade of firearms, hunting equipment, defense items, and sport shooting accessories — further reinforcing the historical and specialized connection of this property across several generations. 

The main warehouse, with sqm distributed over two floors,
preserves rare and distinctive features:  

• wooden flooring, originally required due to the nature of the materials stored; 
• original workbenches; 
• excellent natural light throughout the space; 
• lower floor with approximately 4-meter ceiling height; 
• bathrooms on the upper floor; 
• Fichet security doors; 
• fire detection system; 
• Grade 3 intrusion alarm installation; 
• spacious and versatile areas. 

On the main façade, still visible from the outside, remains the name of the founder and visionary behind this space: José Nunes Ferreira — a lasting symbol of the history and identity of Quinta do Papagaio. 

The property also includes:  

• an additional 32sqm building (formerly used as a cartridge loading workshop, and more recently as a retail store); 
• a well-preserved 2-bedroom house with 54sqm, previously used by the caretaker, offering stunning views; 
• a closed and covered annex for storage; 
• two former licensed powder magazines with 58sqm and 28sqm; 
• a guardhouse, reinforcing the operational and historical character of the
  estate. 

Surrounding the former powder magazines are solid containment walls, structures originally built for safety reasons associated with the storage of gunpowder and cartridges.

Today, beyond their historical importance, these elements give the property a
highly distinctive architectural presence — robust, visually striking, rare,
and extremely interesting from a construction and engineering perspective. 

The outdoor areas allow accommodation for several vehicles and provide a truly private atmosphere, increasingly difficult to find so close to the city. 

The natural surroundings, the scale of the land, and the organic beauty of the exterior environment reinforce the feeling of privacy and exclusivity throughout the property. 

A beautiful olive grove extends across the land, adding character, natural scenery, and a singular atmosphere to the estate. 

Due to its configuration, history, and construction characteristics, Quinta do Papagaio offers potential for a wide range of uses, including storage, private collection, creative space, atelier, showroom, or projects connected to the industrial and historical memory of the site. 

More than a property.
A place with its own identity.
