The asking price for this 24.5-hectare Alentejo estate near Santa Clara Dam is €265,000. It includes a 252 m² house for renovation, eight rooms, three wells, three reservoirs and a perennial natural spring. Located near Santa Clara-a-Velha, the property is only 3 km from the dam and fluvial beach. This makes it an attractive purchase for buyers prioritising land, privacy and reliable water resources. The estate is completely enclosed, creating a secluded environment for a home, farm or countryside business. Its rural landscape contains cork oaks, olive trees, fruit trees and vegetable gardens. A small stream borders the land and contributes to its natural beauty. The three wells can support practical rural activities, subject to verification of capacity and use. The reservoirs provide additional water storage for cultivation, landscaping and land management. A borehole and the year-round spring add further resilience to the estate’s water infrastructure. Electricity is available on-site, which is an important benefit for a renovation project. The existing eight-room house offers a substantial footprint for a personalised redesign. Residential renovation may reach 375 m² according to information obtained from Odemira City Council. If a rural tourism element is incorporated, the potential maximum area may be 500 m², subject to planning and licensing requirements. Buyers could therefore investigate a private residence, guest accommodation or a mixed-use rural investment. The location offers peaceful countryside living while remaining connected to nearby communities. Santa Clara-a-Velha is around 11 km away, and Ourique is approximately 40 km from the property. Zambujeira do Mar and the West Coast are about 50 km away, providing access to beaches and coastal leisure. Contact us to confirm availability, discuss the investment potential and book your viewing.
