Build Potential

Ready to build.

A formal viability study (under the Santiago do Cacém PDM) confirms construction is permitted on the 6.57 ha estate. A previous building permit (alvará 77/2021) authorised a private home, rural-tourism unit, outbuilding and pool — and can be reactivated to fast-track the project.

Stones that hold the memory.
