Organic farm of 44.8 ha with active agricultural operation + agrotourism potential – Penamacor (Beira Interior)

Magnificent organic agricultural property, fully operational, located in the charming village of Aranhas, in the municipality of Penamacor, in the heart of the Beira Interior region, just 2 minutes from the village center. The property is set in a peaceful and preserved rural environment, very close to the Portuguese-Spanish border (Extremadura) and the Serra da Malcata Nature Reserve. It benefits from direct access via a municipal road that crosses the property and also connects to Spain.

The property covers a total area of 44.8086 hectares, of which approximately 40 hectares are fenced and divided into 7 paddocks suitable for livestock farming. It is currently operated under organic farming, with sheep breeding activity including around 80 sheep of the Castelo Branco breed (ewes and lambs), with a capacity of up to 300 animals. The farm also includes a dairy activity with a milking parlor equipped for 12 goats on a part-time basis, as well as all necessary infrastructure: sheepfold, milking room, dairy facility, and storage areas for hay and animal feed.

The core of the farm is a 720 m² agricultural building made of stainless steel structure, with a removable upper section. The area currently dedicated to animals measures approximately 12 x 40 meters. The property also has a major water system including a well and around 7 water points (ponds) with filtered water for animals, ensuring full water autonomy. The entire property is connected to the public electricity grid and has structured internal access roads.

The farm is sold with a complete set of agricultural machinery, including a John Deere 6320 tractor with front attachments, trailers of various capacities, a 6,000-liter tank, crusher, harrow, mower, sprayer, seeder, various equipment, workshop, as well as a 10 kVA three-phase generator, allowing immediate operation without additional investment.

The property also includes an agricultural support building with a living area comprising a large room with a fireplace, one bedroom, and a bathroom.

The property also features rich natural resources, with more than 1,000 olive trees, around 200 cork oak trees providing periodic income from cork production, as well as pines, eucalyptus, oaks, and several fruit trees such as fig trees and vineyards. This botanical diversity enhances both the economic and ecological value of the farm.

Thanks to its strategic location, direct access to Spain, natural resources, and complete infrastructure, this estate offers strong development potential, both for organic agricultural production and for rural diversification or agrotourism projects.

It is particularly well suited for the creation of tourist accommodation such as bungalows or eco-lodges in nature, offering an immersive experience within a working farm. Visitors would be able to discover farm life, local production, and direct contact with animals in an authentic setting.

The site is also ideal for nature tourism, with activities such as hiking, relaxation, and digital detox stays, meeting strong international demand for sustainable and experiential rural tourism.

A rare property offering both an active agricultural business, self-sufficiency, and strong value appreciation potential: an opportunity not to be missed during a site visit!
