Setúbal, Santiago do Cacém, Portugal

Set among the hills of São Francisco da Serra, near Melides, this estate with Atlantic Ocean views combines the tranquillity of the Alentejo landscape with proximity to the coast. Extending over 29,750 m², it offers privacy and a distinctive natural setting, with potential for a private retreat or a tourism project.

Fully fenced and with two independent entrances, the property spans three hills, dotted with centuries-old cork oaks, wildflowers and natural trails. A watercourse completes the landscape, enhancing the character of the setting.

The existing 153.30 m² agricultural building was constructed using locally sourced natural materials, including hemp blocks, which provide excellent thermal and acoustic performance. It comprises four rooms and a spacious communal area with a fireplace. The property also benefits from its own well, a drainage system, electricity and pre-installation for air conditioning.

Adding to the estate’s potential is a proposed rural hotel project with 12 guest rooms and approximately 611 m² of planned gross construction area, currently awaiting approval as part of the licensing process.

Despite its peaceful surroundings, the property is just 500 metres from the centre of São Francisco da Serra, with its café, bakery and local shops. The beaches of Lagoa de Santo André are approximately a 15-minute drive away, while Melides and the Comporta region offer a selection of restaurants, beach clubs and experiences centred on nature and the sea.

Renowned destinations such as Christian Louboutin’s Vermelho Melides, Sublime Comporta and CostaTerra Golf & Ocean Club contribute to the region’s international profile and reinforce its appeal as a premium destination.

With its location, scale and natural setting, this estate offers an opportunity to create a distinctive project on the Alentejo coast, combining authenticity, privacy and proximity to the Atlantic.
