Herdade “Alto dos Cavaleiros” — 15 ha in Alcochete

Nestled in the natural beauty of the coastal town of Alcochete, on the peaceful Herdade de Rio Frio and a short distance from the Sporting Football Academy (Cristiano Ronaldo), this exceptional property emerges: 15 hectares of cork oak woodland (montado) and arable land.
“Alto dos Cavaleiros” is a plot with a strong rural identity, real income and development potential — the perfect opportunity for those seeking an investment with character and upside.

Why it’s worth seeing

Productive cork oak woodland: approximately 300 cork oaks, a natural asset of high environmental and economic value.

Cork income: with good management and support measures, the operation can reach €11K / year (indicative figure).

Independent water supply: there is the possibility to drill an artesian well, ensuring water for domestic use, irrigation and activities.

Residential development: allows 1% of the total area ≈ 1,500 m², with up to 2 housing units — ideal for a high-end house or private estate.

Capacity for larger projects: for commercial or mixed use, an implantation of up to 3,000 m² is permitted — ample space for an aparthotel, experience centre, tourist unit or airport-related services.

Strategic location: excellent access (A2, A12 and N118), proximity to the future Luís de Camões Airport, and well connected to the economic fabric of the Lisbon Metropolitan Area.

Engaging description

Imagine arriving home down an avenue of cork oaks, feeling the coolness of the montado and, at the same time, being only 30–40 minutes from Lisbon. This is the setting Alto dos Cavaleiros offers: a property that combines scenic quality, natural income and project potential. The presence of a productive cork oak stand provides recurring revenue — and the possibility of a well guarantees the water independence so valued in rural and tourist projects.

For the private buyer, this means space and privacy for a luxury residence integrated into the landscape. For the investor or tourism operator, it opens clear possibilities: rural tourism, an eco-resort, an aparthotel or even a cork valorisation centre with a shop and visitor experiences. If the choice is a larger commercial project, the 3,000 m² implantation allowance enables a wide range of uses.
