A large rural plot with two wells near Ourique is offered for €548,000. Buyers receive approximately 558,000m², or 55.8 hectares, of agricultural land with water and possible building potential. The asking price covers the land only and excludes construction costs. This extensive holding is located around 4km from Ourique in Portugal’s lower Alentejo. Its undulating terrain includes fertile areas, pasture and numerous holm oaks. Two wells provide an important water resource for agricultural use and potential household supply. The well on the roughly 11-hectare section has abundant water. The second well on the larger section provides sufficient water for a household, according to the property information. The land is reached by a tarmac road, offering practical access throughout the year. Electricity and telephone lines are located very close to the boundary. A road divides the holding into two parts, creating possible flexibility for future use or separation. Any division into independent plots would need to be investigated and approved through the appropriate process. The municipality has indicated that agricultural registration could support a house of up to 500m² for the owner’s habitation. Up to another 500m² may be possible for supporting agricultural buildings, subject to planning confirmation. A future PDM revision may also allow additional construction for tourism, although this is not guaranteed. Ourique’s amenities include supermarkets, shops, cafés, restaurants, banks, a school, a post office and a church. The A2 motorway and IC1 provide useful road links towards Lisbon and the Algarve. Vila Nova de Milfontes beach is approximately 65km away, and Faro Airport is about 100km from the plot. The combination of scale, water and possible agricultural use could interest investors seeking long-term land value or rural income opportunities. Buyers should confirm all planning, water, agricultural and tourism permissions with the Câmara Municipal de Ourique before committing.

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.
