6.57 Hectare Land With Building Permit And Project | Alentejo

Monte da Pedra da Água is a 6.57-hectare cork oak property in Tanganhal, in the parish of Abela, municipality of Santiago do Cacém, in the Alentejo Litoral. With a building permit issued and a fully developed architect-designed project already in place, it is one of the very few assets of this kind on the market with genuine construction viability and a completely defined residential programme.

The project was designed by ABAP, the atelier of architect Luís Alçada Baptista, and comprises a 241 sqm main house, an independent 167 sqm guest house, an 88 sqm spa with indoor pool and sauna, a 116 sqm heated outdoor pool, and a gym, all integrated into the landscape using materials that respond directly to the terrain. The programme also includes a children’s zone, a multi-sports court, a vegetable garden, a farming area and a lake, with walking paths connecting the different zones across the 65,645 sqm total land area. Total built area is estimated between 600 and 775 sqm.

The cork oak woodland that surrounds the entire property is not merely landscape — it is a productive ecosystem with its own value, and a presence that defines the character of the place. The views extend 360 degrees over the Alentejo plain, with no visible construction on the horizon and a level of privacy that is increasingly rare at this distance from the coast.

The location in Tanganhal/Abela places the property around 15 minutes from Santiago do Cacém, 30 minutes from the beaches of the Alentejo coast, and under 40 minutes from Sines. Lisbon is approximately 1h30 by car. The region is now one of the most sought-after destinations for those looking for nature, privacy and quality of life away from major urban centres, attracting growing national and international interest.

A property with the scale, the project and the location to build something truly singular in the Alentejo.
