Agricultural land near Ourique that could be suitable for a country home is available here as a 558,000m² plot priced at €548,000. The municipality has indicated that a dwelling may be possible where the land is registered and used for agriculture, subject to formal planning approval. This makes the property relevant to buyers seeking a rural home with land rather than a standard residential plot. The holding contains fertile ground, pasture and many mature holm oaks. Its gently rolling landscape offers panoramic countryside views. A small stream borders one side of the property. Two wells provide important water resources for agricultural activity and potential household use. The well on the approximately 11-hectare section has abundant water. The second well is described as providing sufficient water for a household on the larger section. The land is divided by a tarmac road, creating two distinct areas. There may be an opportunity to create two separate plots, but this must be verified with Ourique Town Hall. If separation is approved, a home on each plot may be possible under the applicable rules. Official information indicates that an owner’s agricultural habitation could potentially be up to 500m². A further 500m² may be available for agricultural support buildings, subject to permission. These figures are not a guarantee of planning consent and buyers must undertake their own due diligence. Power and telephone lines are close by, which may simplify future connections. Ourique is just 4km away and provides everyday services including shops, restaurants, supermarkets, banks and a school. Access to the highway and IC1 makes travel towards the Algarve and Lisbon convenient. Vila Nova de Milfontes beach is about 65km from the property.

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.
