Land for sale near Ourique that could suit an agro-tourism investment is offered here at €548,000. The 558,000m² Alentejo holding combines countryside views, two wells, fertile ground and potential for tourism-related development. Buyers looking for a rural hospitality project can investigate the possibility of using the land for agro-tourism, subject to planning approval. The property’s generous size provides room to consider accommodation, agricultural activities and outdoor leisure areas. Its undulating terrain is dotted with many holm oaks. Pasture and productive land could support a farm-based visitor experience. A small stream forms part of one boundary and adds a natural feature for the rural setting. Two wells provide an important water resource for agricultural use and possible future operations. The well on the approximately 11-hectare section has abundant water. The well on the larger section is described as providing enough water for a household. Water capacity, usage rights and installation requirements should be confirmed independently. Local authority consultation has indicated that tourism development may be possible after the PDM revision, with up to 1,000m² potentially available for tourism use. A house for the owner’s habitation may also be considered if the property is registered and operated as agricultural land. The indicative allowance is up to 500m² for the home and another 500m² for support buildings, subject to permission. The land is split by a tarmac road, which may allow the two parts to be considered separately. A possible subdivision could give an investor additional flexibility, although approval is not guaranteed. Ourique is only 4km away and supplies restaurants, cafés, shops, supermarkets, banks, a post office and a school. Guests would benefit from easy road connections via the highway and IC1 towards the Algarve and Lisbon. Vila Nova de Milfontes beach is approximately 65km away, adding coastal appeal to an inland tourism concept. Rental income and return on investment would depend on the final project, licensing, construction and market demand, so contact us to investigate this agro-tourism opportunity.

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.
