Description
A substantial country property offering privacy, space and an approved project, located near Ourique in the heart of the Alentejo, approximately one hour from the Alentejo coast and the Algarve. Set within approximately 6.9 hectares of land and with two existing buildings, the property benefits from an approved project to extend and transform the main building, making use of the existing structure to create a new contemporary home designed to sit naturally within its surroundings, with a strong connection between the interior and exterior spaces. The size of the land offers the opportunity to create different areas around the main house, including gardens, leisure areas, a swimming pool and outdoor spaces designed to make the most of the natural landscape and the character of the property. The second ruin adds further potential to the property, offering possibilities for complementary use, subject naturally to the relevant planning framework and any approvals required. More than simply a rural property, this is an opportunity to create a home with its own identity in the Alentejo, whether as a permanent residence or a holiday home. Given the size of the land, the location and the approved project, it may also appeal to those looking to develop a small-scale tourism concept, centred around nature, tranquillity and the authenticity of the region. Ourique has been attracting increasing interest from buyers looking for properties offering space and privacy, in a more peaceful and authentic setting while remaining within easy reach of the coast and the Algarve. Its location combines the character of the Alentejo countryside with convenient access to the southern coast and the Algarve, with Faro Airport approximately 55 minutes away, Lisbon around 1.5 hours away and Ourique railway station just 15 minutes from the property. There are also bus connections from Ourique to Faro and Lisbon. This accessibility, combined with the natural character of the area, makes Ourique particularly appealing to those seeking an authentic lifestyle in southern Portugal, with the freedom to develop a personalised residential or tourism project in a peaceful and naturally rich setting. The combination of the property's size, approved project and accessible location makes this a compelling opportunity for those looking to create something of their own in the Alentejo, whether as a private residence, holiday home or carefully considered tourism venture.
