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.

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 the 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 until 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 processes associated with purchasing, organising and preparing rustic land. They can therefore provide the buyer with practical assistance throughout these procedures.

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 (PDM — PLANO DIRETOR MUNICIPAL)

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

The new regulations recognise that rustic land may accommodate certain cultural, tourism, recreational and leisure activities when complementary to its agricultural and forestry functions. In agricultural and forest areas, the regulations also contemplate combining primary-sector activities with other compatible uses, particularly tourism and the enjoyment of rural spaces.

ECO VILLAGE — NEIGHBOURING PROJECT

A family-led rural and ecological Eco Village project is currently being developed on the neighbouring property and is being prepared for an application to Turismo de Portugal.

The project is intended to combine small ecological houses, nature, regenerative agriculture, vegetable gardens, horses, rural experiences, well-being activities and a potential glamping area.

The buyer’s property will remain entirely independent, with its own land and private access, while benefiting from a well-maintained, sustainable and attractive surrounding environment.

An opportunity to acquire approximately 1.2 hectares of flat land in a genuinely peaceful setting, with exceptional views and a strategic location between Lisbon, Palmela, Setúbal and the Serra da Arrábida.
