66.000m² Plot with Approved 500m² Project near Melides
Located in the tranquil countryside of São Francisco da Serra, near the border with Melides, this exceptional 66.000m² property offers privacy, natural beauty and development potential in one of the most sought-after areas of the Alentejo coast. The land is characterised by mature pine and cork oak trees, open views across the surrounding landscape and a peaceful setting that reflects the region’s authentic charm. While enjoying a sense of seclusion, the property remains within easy reach of Melides, the beaches and a variety of local amenities.
A contemporary residential project with swimming pool was previously approved for the property and provides a valuable foundation for a future licensing application. Although recent changes to the local planning framework require the project to be resubmitted, the municipality has confirmed that the property retains its building rights based on the legally recognised pre-existing structure on the land. This offers both certainty and flexibility, allowing a future owner to either refine the original concept or create a bespoke residence tailored to their own vision and lifestyle.
The original architectural proposal envisioned a spacious contemporary villa composed of multiple interconnected volumes, carefully designed to integrate with the natural surroundings. The concept focused on maximising light, privacy and landscape views, while creating a seamless relationship between indoor and outdoor living. Generous social areas, expansive terraces and leisure spaces were planned to take full advantage of the property’s unique setting.
Surrounded by high-quality private residences and benefiting from distant sea views within the area, this property presents a rare opportunity to develop an elegant countryside retreat in one of Portugal’s most desirable coastal regions. Combining privacy, natural surroundings and confirmed building potential, it offers an exceptional opportunity for a permanent home, holiday residence or long-term investment in the increasingly prestigious Melides area.
