329-Hectare Estate for Sale Between Sea and Land, Alentejo

Discover a traditional Alentejo estate with 1.2 km of riverfront along the Sado River, just 40 km from the region’s beaches, with Melides being the closest. A unique opportunity to invest in a property with enormous potential, whether for country living or rural tourism.

Property Description

Architecture
The main core consists of 7 residential buildings, including the impressive 18th-century manor house with 320 m², in good condition and ready for minor renovations.

In total, there are around 500 m² of residential buildings, all arranged around a central courtyard. Two of the smaller buildings are not recoverable.

Additionally, five agricultural buildings total approximately 1,200 m², three of which are in excellent condition, located near the main houses.

Landscape and Nature
Typical gently rolling Alentejo landscape with an imposing frontage to the Sado River. Two secondary streams cross the property, offering natural beauty and recreational potential.

Soil and Crops

Xerosols / Cambisols: dry soils, ideal for olive trees, almond trees, cereals, and pastures.

Alluvial soils: fertile, near the river, perfect for intensive crops, vegetable gardens, and pastures.

Vegetation and Agriculture

In the north, an old stone pine forest—some trees centuries old—covers 20% of the estate, bordering the river.

Along the river, there are 57 hectares of rice fields and around 200 fruit trees (mainly orange and almond trees), suitable for personal consumption or commercial use.

The gently undulating terrain is perfect for cork oaks, with about 2,000 specimens, and approximately 480 olive trees surrounding the main core, aged between 50 and 120 years.

Access and Location
Easy access via paved road through Alcácer do Sal or Grândola, with 500 meters of dirt road leading to the main house.

Only 25–35 minutes from urban centers and 75 minutes from Lisbon. Close to the future Grândola–Beja highway, and less than 35 minutes from an airport.


Potential Uses

• Country Living
Ideal for restoring a true Alentejo estate and enjoying complete privacy (nearest neighbor 1,800 meters away), less than an hour from the beaches and just over an hour from Lisbon.

• Tourism Development
Construction potential of up to 4,000 m² in different typologies, including country houses and rural/agrotourism accommodations. Close coordination with the Alcácer do Sal Municipal Council is recommended to ensure viability.

A unique investment opportunity with nature, history, and strategic location.
