To buy this 558,000 m² Alentejo landholding near Ourique, prospective purchasers should begin by reviewing the €548,000 sale details and confirming their intended use. The property includes two wells and potential for agricultural, residential or agro-tourism development, subject to planning permission. Buyers should then verify subdivision and building possibilities directly with the Câmara Municipal de Ourique before committing to a project. The land is located at Monte São Pedro, Encalho, approximately 4 km from Ourique. It is a spacious rural holding with fertile land, pasture and many holm oaks. A small stream borders part of the property and contributes to its attractive countryside setting. Panoramic views extend across the surrounding Alentejo landscape. Access is straightforward from a tarmac road. Electricity and telephone lines are very close to the land, offering practical advantages for future development. The road separates the holding into two sections. This arrangement may make two separate plots possible, although the relevant authorities must confirm whether subdivision is permitted. One section measures approximately 11 hectares and contains a well with abundant water. The second well on the larger section is reported to provide sufficient water for a household. The town hall has indicated that agricultural registration could allow an owner’s residence of up to 500 m². A further 500 m² may be possible for agricultural support structures. Following a future PDM revision, up to 1,000 m² may potentially be developed for tourism purposes. These figures are planning indications rather than confirmed building rights. Ourique offers supermarkets, shops, cafés, restaurants, banks, a post office and a school for everyday convenience. The nearby highway and IC1 provide links towards the Algarve and Lisbon. Vila Nova de Milfontes beach is roughly 65 km away, while Faro Airport is about 100 km distant. Contact us to request the property documents, discuss due diligence and schedule a viewing.

This beautiful plot of land in the lower Alentejo is divided into two parts by the road giving the possibility to make two separate plots. Because the land is larger than 5ha the town hall has said that a house could be built if the property was being used for some type of agriculture, keeping sheep or planting produce for example. It is likely also that permission could be obtained to do an agro-tourism project.
There is a well with abundant water on the 11ha part of the plot and another well which gives enough water for a household on the larger plot.
If a new owner wished to separate the two plots, then the possibility is that a house could be built on each one. This must be verified with the town hall.
The town of Ourique is close by and has restaurants, cafés, shops, supermarkets, banks, post office, church, school, etc.
After consultation with the official entities ( Câmara Municipal de Ourique) a house for owner’s habitation, subject to the registration as agriculture, can go up to 500 m2 and additionally 500 m2 for support buildings. After PDM revision additionally 1000 m2 can be built for Tourism.
