A large agricultural plot with potential to build in the Alentejo is available near Ourique for €548,000. The 558,000m² property offers fertile land, pasture, holm oaks and two wells for buyers considering a rural investment. For the price, purchasers acquire the land itself, while any future building or construction costs would be additional. Its scale makes the holding suitable for agricultural activity, livestock, cultivation or a possible tourism concept. The property is divided into two sections by a road. That arrangement may offer flexibility for buyers interested in creating two separate plots. Any subdivision and separate building rights require confirmation from the Câmara Municipal de Ourique. Local authority discussions indicate that a house may be possible because the land exceeds 5 hectares and is intended for an agricultural use. This could include keeping sheep, planting crops or another qualifying rural activity. A principal dwelling may potentially reach 500m², with up to 500m² of additional agricultural support buildings, subject to planning consent. The PDM revision may also create the possibility of up to 1,000m² for tourism accommodation or related uses. Two wells strengthen the land’s practical appeal for agriculture and future rural operations. One well on the 11-hectare area is described as having abundant water. The other well provides sufficient water for a household, subject to technical checks and regulatory requirements. Electricity and telephone lines are close by, helping simplify future infrastructure planning. Access is convenient via a tarmac road. Panoramic countryside views and mature holm oaks give the site a distinctive Alentejo setting. Ourique is only 4km away with supermarkets, shops, restaurants, cafés, banks, a school and essential services. Highway and IC1 access connects the property towards Lisbon and the Algarve, while Vila Nova de Milfontes beach is 65km away.

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.
