AGRICULTURAL POTENTIAL AND WATER

A former owner’s family cultivated this land for many years and confirmed that the property is particularly suitable for agriculture and has abundant water. There is also a natural pond within the property itself.

SUNLIGHT EXPOSURE

The property benefits from many hours of sunshine throughout almost the entire year, including during the winter months. This excellent solar exposure is particularly favourable for agriculture and for generating energy through solar panels.

Experience on the neighbouring property, where a solar system is already in operation, shows that daily production is generally sufficient to significantly reduce the need to use stored battery power, even during much of the winter.

BIODIVERSITY AND WILDLIFE

The surrounding area has rich natural biodiversity. Numerous bird species can be observed, including birds of prey, kestrels, crows, magpies, woodpeckers and goldfinches, together with wild rabbits and bees. A bee colony established itself naturally on the neighbouring property, demonstrating the presence of pollinators and the area’s favourable ecological conditions.

ACCESS AND FENCING

Following the signing of the promissory purchase agreement and payment of the agreed deposit, the owners will prepare the access road and associated fencing. The new owner will therefore receive a protected property with a private access road.

WATER AND ELECTRICITY

Until the buyer obtains an independent solution, the owners may provide water from a well reserved exclusively for the buyer’s supply. This arrangement may remain in place until a private borehole or well is completed or connection to a future shared borehole becomes possible.

Temporary electricity may also be provided, subject to payment for the electricity consumed, until an independent connection is installed. The owners may assist with the application to E-Redes and preparation of the electricity delivery point.

Alternatively, an approximately 5 kW solar power system, similar to the one already operating on the neighbouring property, may be installed for an estimated additional cost of €4,000, subject to the final technical configuration.

SUPPORT FOR THE NEW OWNER

The owners live on the neighbouring property and have already completed the various administrative procedures associated with purchasing, organising and preparing rustic land. They can therefore provide the buyer with practical assistance throughout these processes.

They also operate a construction, gardening and services company and can carry out the work required to prepare and adapt the new property, subject to a prior quotation.

NEW PALMELA MUNICIPAL MASTER PLAN — AP AND ED2 CLASSIFICATIONS

The revised Palmela Municipal Master Plan was approved through Notice No. 19743/2026/2, published in the Portuguese Official Gazette on 10 August 2026.

According to the mapping of the new Municipal Master Plan, the property covers two classifications: Agricultural Production Area — AP — and Type 2 Dispersed Development Area — ED2.

The AP classification covers land with high agricultural capability or land that is, or has previously been, actively farmed. Agriculture is the predominant use in these areas. Subject to the conditions established in the Municipal Master Plan, buildings supporting agricultural, forestry or livestock activities, a dwelling for the farmer responsible for the holding, animal accommodation and welfare services, and certain rural tourism or residential tourism developments may be permitted.

The ED2 classification corresponds to an area of mixed rural and built occupation, consisting of rustic properties with some buildings and public infrastructure. Subject to specific conditions, the new Municipal Master Plan provides for the possibility of one dwelling and related outbuildings, rural tourism or residential tourism developments, animal accommodation and support services, and certain restaurant, small retail or compatible industrial activities when associated with agricultural activity.

This information is based on an interpretation of the mapping and regulations of the new Municipal Master Plan and does not constitute a guarantee of construction or planning permission. Any use, intervention or project must be confirmed in advance with Palmela Municipal Council and the other competent authorities.
