12 Hectare Estate With Approved Project And Building Permit – Grândola, Alentejo

In the heart of the Alentejo, in a privileged location between Grândola, Melides and Comporta, lies this 12-hectare (120,000 sqm) estate, with an approved architectural project and building permit already issued, allowing construction to begin immediately.

Set within the traditional Alentejo montado landscape, surrounded by cork oaks and peaceful natural scenery, the estate combines privacy, scale and proximity to the Alentejo Coast, offering an exceptional opportunity for either an exclusive private residence or the development of a tourism project.

The approved project comprises approximately 500 sqm of construction, including two three-bedroom villas, six lofts, a garage and an extensive leisure area with swimming pool.

The architecture reinterprets traditional Alentejo design through a contemporary and minimalist approach. Clean volumes, terracotta roof tiles and the large arches that define the façades create a seamless connection between the interiors and the surrounding landscape.

Inside, the project prioritises generous spaces, high ceilings, abundant natural light and a selection of materials and tones inspired by the natural surroundings. The social areas have been designed to create a fluid connection between the living room, kitchen, dining areas and outdoor spaces, extending naturally towards the leisure and pool areas.

One of the estate’s key distinguishing features is its water self-sufficiency, with three water sources: a borehole, two traditional wells and a natural watercourse. Electricity is also available on the property.

The estate benefits from two independent access points via paved roads, located at opposite ends of the property, providing excellent accessibility and allowing separate entrances to be organised according to the intended use.

Under the applicable municipal development plan (PDM), the property is located in an area suitable for tourism projects, adding considerable versatility to the investment. The concept may therefore be developed as a private family residence or adapted for uses such as a boutique hotel, eco-retreat or other forms of rural tourism.

For residential use, the project allows for two independent three-bedroom villas — or the possibility of configuring the space as a larger single residence — complemented by six lofts providing additional accommodation for family and guests.

Location is another of the property’s major advantages. The estate is approximately 7 minutes from Grândola, 25 minutes from Melides and 30 minutes from Comporta, offering exceptional privacy while remaining close to some of the most sought-after destinations on the Alentejo Coast.

Lisbon is approximately 1 hour 15 minutes away, Lisbon International Airport around 1 hour 25 minutes, and Évora approximately 1 hour 10 minutes.

With 120,000 sqm of land, an approved architectural project, a building permit already issued, approximately 500 sqm of planned construction, abundant water resources, two independent access points and both residential and tourism potential, this estate offers a rare opportunity to develop a distinctive project in the Alentejo.

A property where contemporary architecture meets the identity of the Alentejo, combining the tranquillity of the countryside with proximity to the sea.
