This exceptional estate of 649,250m² includes a submitted project proposal for a carefully planned tourist development, adhering to stringent regulations regarding water and sanitation, construction materials, environmental preservation, and minimal soil sealing. The project aims to promote sustainable tourism while minimizing its environmental footprint.

Specifically, there is the potential to develop a 4-star hotel-apartment complex with a gross construction area of 3,306.40m2, accommodating 140 beds across 35 lodging units (villas). The project complies with the Odemira Municipal Master Plan (PDM) regulations for Agro-Silvo-Pastoral Spaces II, specifically articles 59 and 27.

Key Development Aspects:

Autonomous water and sanitation infrastructure: The existing project plans include sealed septic tanks for sanitation and a borehole for water supply.
Sustainable building design: The design integrates with the local environment using locally sourced materials such as brown slate, rammed earth (taipa), wood, and white plastered facades.
Low-density construction: Building heights are limited to one or two floors and capped at a maximum of 140 beds, to preserve the natural beauty of the area.
The development incorporates 3 service buildings and 35 lodging units or what the end buyer may decide. The lodging units can be tailored to include amenities such as a refrigerator, stove, sink, fume extraction device, and storage.

The proposed design emphasizes harmonious integration with the surrounding environment, prioritizing the preservation of existing trees and minimizing overall environmental impact. Outdoor spaces feature permeable materials, utilizing dirt paths and wooden decks with gaps to allow for natural water infiltration.
Parking areas incorporate grassed blocks to minimize soil sealing and maintain the ecological integrity of the land.
