Description

Turn your life or business project into a natural paradise in Palmela – 3-hectare plot
Imagine waking up every day surrounded by nature, with space, privacy and tranquillity, yet still being just minutes away from schools, supermarkets, services and motorways. That's exactly what this 3-hectare plot in Lau, Palmela, offers: freedom with convenience, in one of the most promising municipalities in the Setúbal region.
Location: nature and accessibility in harmony
Located in Lau, a rural area in the municipality of Palmela, this plot combines the best of both worlds: the serenity of the countryside with the proximity of the city. It is:
15 minutes from Setúbal, with all its urban infrastructure, beaches, restaurants and culture.
6 minutes from St. Peter's International School, one of the most prestigious schools in the country.
6 minutes from Intermarché and other shopping centres.
4 minutes from Montado Hotel & Golf Resort, perfect for those who enjoy refined leisure.
Less than 40 minutes from Lisbon, with quick access via the A2 and A12 motorways.
The location is ideal for permanent residence, as well as for rural tourism, glamping or retreat and wellness projects.
Land Features
This large 30,000 m² plot is completely flat, facilitating construction and use of the space. It already has a rural tourism project legally approved by the Palmela City Council, allowing for the immediate construction of up to 185 m², distributed between a main house and annexed structures.
Important: the house planned in the project will be installed by January 2026.
Important transparency note: the house will not be licensed and will not be connected to the sanitation network. The available infrastructure includes drinking water from a deep well (with underground spring and laboratory analysis) and electrical connection, so alternative sanitation solutions (e.g. autonomous systems) will have to be considered in accordance with applicable regulations.
Infrastructure already installed
Drinking water from a deep well with an underground spring — quality verified by a laboratory.
Electricity connection available on site.
Fencing on three sides, providing security and privacy.
All legal aspects of the project comply with municipal legislation regarding the approved rural tourism project. However, it is important to note that the house itself will not have its own licence or connection to the public sanitation network, as indicated above.
Development Potential
This property is more than just land: it is a concrete opportunity to create something meaningful. Possibilities include:
Private country house, with space for organic farming, animals or leisure areas.
Glamping or alternative accommodation project, ideal for growing eco-tourism.
A retreat, wellness or yoga centre, taking advantage of the silence and natural energy of the location.
A sustainable tourism investment, with potential returns thanks to growing demand in the region.
The approved project can be adapted to modern business models, such as eco-villas, tiny houses or high-end shared residences, taking into account the aforementioned licensing and sanitation constraints.
Palmela: a rising destination
The municipality of Palmela has stood out as a destination of choice for those seeking quality of life. Surrounded by vineyards, mountains and coastline, it offers a unique landscape, with a strong agricultural tradition, wine production and cultural events. Its proximity to Lisbon and Setúbal attracts both families and investors.
In addition, there is constant growth in the rural tourism sector, with domestic and foreign visitors seeking authentic experiences, tranquillity and contact with nature.
Investment Advantages
Immediate property appreciation thanks to the location and the approved project.
Household installed by January 2026, as planned.
Transparent information: house without licensing and without connection to the sanitation network — a factor to be taken into account in the decision and operational planning.
Flexibility of use: can start as a residence and expand to tourist accommodation, considering autonomous sanitation solutions if necessary.
Reduced bureaucracy related to the approved project; however, specific issues regarding the property's licence and sanitation must be addressed with the relevant services or technical consultants.
Easy access to financing for tourism projects with local and national support (subject to analysis of conditions and technical compliance).
This land represents a rare opportunity in the current market. It is a versatile space, ready to welcome dreams, ideas and concrete projects. With a privileged location, essential infrastructure available and a project already approved, it is possible to move forward quickly — taking into account the condition of the dwelling in terms of licensing and sanitation.
