This 558,000 m² plot of land for sale in Portugal could suit buyers investigating an agro-tourism project near the Algarve. The property is priced at €548,000 and lies close to Ourique, with convenient road connections towards the Algarve. Its scale, two wells, countryside views and agricultural character provide a strong starting point for exploring a rural tourism concept. The land is situated in the lower Alentejo, approximately 4 km from the town of Ourique. Ourique supplies shops, restaurants, cafés, supermarkets, banks, a school and other essential amenities. The plot has fertile areas, pasture and many mature holm oaks. A stream borders one side, contributing to the landscape and rural appeal. Two wells provide independent water sources across the different sections of the property. The well on the 11-hectare part is described as having abundant water. The well on the larger area offers sufficient water for a household. Electricity and telephone infrastructure is close by, supporting the potential for future connection. A tarmac road gives easy access to the land throughout the year. The property is split by the road, which may allow two separate plots if approved by the relevant authorities. The owner has been advised that tourism construction could potentially benefit from up to 1,000 m² after a PDM revision. This possibility is not guaranteed and must be checked with Câmara Municipal de Ourique and other official bodies. Agricultural registration and an appropriate rural business plan may be important when assessing any development proposal. The land could support a blend of agricultural production, countryside accommodation or visitor experiences, subject to planning and licensing. Its position offers access to the Algarve while retaining the quieter atmosphere of the Alentejo. Vila Nova de Milfontes is around 65 km away for beaches and coastal day trips. Faro Airport is approximately 100 km from the property, helping with access for international guests. Buyers should also budget separately for construction, infrastructure and professional planning advice because the advertised price is for the land only.

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.

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.
