Buying this 55.8-hectare Alentejo plot for €548,000 gives purchasers a large rural landholding with possible separate building plots, subject to official approval. The property may suit buyers seeking agricultural investment, a country residence or an agro-tourism concept near Ourique. Its scale and existing water resources create flexibility that smaller plots cannot offer. The land comprises approximately 558,000 m² of undulating countryside. Fertile ground, pasture and stands of holm oak contribute to its agricultural character. A stream borders one side and enhances the setting. The public road divides the holding into two parts, potentially allowing the creation of two separate plots. Any division into independent plots must be checked and approved by the Câmara Municipal de Ourique. The local authority has advised that construction may be possible where the land is registered and operated for agriculture. Examples of qualifying activity could include livestock keeping or planting crops. If approved, an owner’s home may be up to 500 m², with an additional 500 m² for agricultural support buildings. The local development plan revision may also create a potential allowance of 1,000 m² for tourism. Buyers should obtain current planning confirmation before relying on these possibilities. Two wells strengthen the property’s appeal for agricultural and residential planning. The well on the 11-hectare portion has abundant water, while the second well can provide household water. Electricity and telephone infrastructure is close by, which may simplify future connections. Access is via a tarmac road, supporting construction logistics and everyday use. Ourique, around 4 km away, supplies essential amenities including shops, restaurants, cafés, banks, supermarkets and a school. Good road links through the highway and IC1 provide access to Lisbon, the Algarve and Faro Airport. This is a potential long-term investment rather than a guaranteed income-producing asset, and rental returns would depend on approvals and development.

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.
