This large country property with building potential in the Alentejo is offered for sale at €548,000. The 558,000 m² agricultural plot is located approximately 4 km from Ourique and includes two wells, pasture and panoramic countryside views. Buyers should note that the price covers the land only, while any construction costs and permissions must be assessed separately. The property is divided into two sections by a tarmac road, creating possible flexibility for future use. It contains fertile land, numerous holm oaks and gently undulating terrain. A small stream borders one side of the plot, adding to its rural character. Water is available from two wells, including one with abundant supply on the 11-hectare section. The second well provides enough water for a household on the larger part of the land. The local authority has indicated that a house may be possible where the land is used for agriculture. Potential agricultural uses could include keeping sheep or cultivating produce. Any house-building opportunity must be confirmed with Câmara Municipal de Ourique before purchase. Separating the two sections may create the possibility of one house on each plot, subject to official approval. Following consultation, owner habitation may allow up to 500 m², with a further 500 m² for support buildings, subject to registration as agricultural use. A future PDM revision may also allow up to 1,000 m² for tourism-related construction. The land could therefore suit buyers seeking a rural home, agricultural base or carefully planned agro-tourism investment. Electricity and telephone lines are close to the property, which should make future connections more straightforward. Access is convenient via a tarmac road and the location offers good links to the IC1 and nearby motorway. Ourique provides shops, cafés, restaurants, supermarkets, banks, a post office, a school and other daily amenities.

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.
