This 558,000m² plot for sale near Ourique offers potential for a country home connected with an agricultural use. Priced at €548,000, it is one of the larger rural land opportunities available in the lower Alentejo. Buyers seeking land to build a rural property should first verify all permissions with Câmara Municipal de Ourique. The land exceeds 5 hectares, which is relevant to the planning guidance provided by the local authority. A house for the owner’s habitation could potentially reach 500m² if the land is registered and used for agriculture. Up to another 500m² may be available for support buildings, subject to applicable rules. If the two sections were formally separated, there may be potential for a home on each plot, but this remains subject to confirmation. The property is divided by a road and may therefore provide practical separation between the two areas. Its undulating contours create attractive elevated positions and panoramic countryside views. Holm oaks and fertile pasture give the land an established Alentejo character. A small stream borders one side of the holding. Two wells provide valuable water access for the agricultural land and any approved rural use. The well on the approximately 11-hectare section has abundant water. The second well is reported to provide sufficient water for a household. Electricity and telephone lines are close to the property, helping with future connection arrangements. Access is straightforward via a tarmac road and manual entrance gate. Ourique is approximately 4km away with shops, cafés, restaurants, banks, supermarkets, a post office and a school. The beach at Vila Nova de Milfontes can be reached in about 65km. Connections towards the Algarve and Lisbon are supported by nearby highway and IC1 access.

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.
