A SELF-SUFFICIENT, ORGANIC PROPERTY

One of Monte das Palmeiras’ most distinctive characteristics is the combination of agricultural production, water autonomy and renewable energy.

The property is managed as an organic farm, with a mature orchard, vegetable production and a variety of established fruit trees and crops.

Its private borehole and automatic irrigation system provide a reliable water source for much of the property, while the solar installation and independent water-treatment infrastructure further support a more autonomous and sustainable way of operating.

This makes the property particularly interesting for concepts such as:

Farm-to-table hospitality
Organic farming experiences
Nature-based tourism
Wellness and retreat programmes
Sustainable rural tourism
DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL

The property’s location within a Rural Settlement Area (Aglomerado Rural) creates one of its strongest investment opportunities.

According to recent information obtained from the Municipality, there is potential for up to 500 m² of additional construction, potentially allowing the creation of several independent accommodation units.

Combined with the approximately 844 m² already built, this provides a potential built footprint of more than 1,300 m².

This creates the foundations for a genuinely distinctive project in the Alentejo: a low-density rural retreat with independent accommodation, wellness facilities, agricultural experiences and private outdoor spaces, while preserving the property’s existing character and natural setting.

A LOCATION DESIGNED FOR ESCAPE

Located in Foros do Baldio, São Cristóvão, the property enjoys a peaceful rural environment with very low population density, excellent privacy and limited artificial light an increasingly valuable quality for wellness, nature and rural tourism concepts.

Approximate distances:

15 minutes Montemor-o-Novo
40 minutes Évora
1 hour Lisbon
Convenient access towards the Comporta and Alentejo coast

The location offers the rare combination of authentic rural Alentejo, tranquillity and accessibility making it particularly well suited to a high-end rural hospitality concept.
