For buyers seeking Portuguese agricultural land with water, panoramic views and an option to build a country home, this 558,000m² property near Ourique is a compelling opportunity. The land is for sale at €548,000 and includes two wells, fertile ground, pasture and mature holm oaks. A country home may be possible when the property is used for a qualifying agricultural activity, subject to confirmation by the Câmara Municipal de Ourique. The rural holding sits in the lower Alentejo, approximately 4km from Ourique. Its broad, undulating landscape offers far-reaching countryside views. A stream runs along one side, contributing to the secluded character of the setting. The two wells provide water for agricultural purposes and potential domestic use. One well on the 11-hectare portion has abundant water. The other is reported to supply enough water for a household, with technical and legal checks still required. Local authority guidance suggests that an owner’s dwelling could reach 500m². A further 500m² may potentially be available for agricultural support buildings. These possibilities depend on registration, planning consent and compliance with applicable rules. The road dividing the holding may also create the option to form two separate plots. Building one house on each plot may be possible, but this must be verified before purchase. Access is straightforward from a tarmac road. Nearby electricity and telephone lines should make future connections more practical. Ourique’s amenities include supermarkets, shops, restaurants, cafés, banks, a post office, a church and a school.
