Where Nature Takes Center Stage
You find a tapestry of diverse ecosystems here, home to over 44,000 strawberry trees and 22,000 cork oaks, interspersed with pine groves and native flora. A network of hidden trails winds through the land, revealing serene woodlands, wide-open clearings, and nine peaceful lagoons. The terrain offers constant surprises—panoramic vistas, quiet corners, and a rare feeling of untouched wilderness.
Whether you’re walking through sun-dappled groves or pausing at a lookout with sweeping views of the ocean and countryside, this property reconnects you to the rhythms of nature in a grounding and invigorating way.
Elevated Living with Complete Privacy
The primary residence, completed in 2021, is strategically located on a hilltop, ensuring complete privacy and commanding views. Spanning 497 m² (412 m² of floor space), it features five spacious bedrooms, seven bathrooms, fitted wardrobes, and contemporary comforts like air conditioning and a heat pump. The home flows naturally into outdoor terraces, a landscaped garden, and a swimming pool—ideal for enjoyment or hosting with ease.
Four additional studios and a guest villa expand your private accommodation or rental capacity, all approved under local lodging licenses.
Tailored for Transformation: Business-Ready Infrastructure
The estate is more than a private residence, it’s a fully licensed and ready-to-operate enterprise with broad development opportunities:
- Housing & Rental Licenses: Legal permissions for multiple dwellings and accommodations, including the main house, guest units, pool, and garden areas.
- Agricultural & Forestry Licenses: This setup, which includes water pumps, a purification system, an irrigation network, and three operational greenhouses, is perfect for sustainable agriculture or reforestation projects.
- Eco-Tourism & Event Licensing: The estate has been approved for various ecotourism services, including a cafeteria, over 45 km of hiking trails, fishing facilities, and plans for equestrian stables. This creates an ideal setting for retreats, wellness centers, and outdoor adventure experiences.
- Approved Expansion Project: Plans for an 18-hole golf course, including a clubhouse, dining options, and leisure facilities, present a premium development opportunity for visionary investors.
A Canvas for Visionaries
Whether you’re imagining a personal retreat surrounded by nature, a boutique eco-resort, or a large-scale leisure destination, this estate in the Algarve serves as a foundation for something exceptional. Its seclusion, size, and pre-approved development options set it apart from others.
