Ruin with Expansion Potential | Sea View | Santa Luzia, Loulé

Set in an authentic and tranquil rural setting that reflects the true Algarve, this ruin with high development potential is located in Santa Luzia, Loulé, in an elevated position benefiting from open sea views and excellent sun exposure. The property consists of a total land area of 2,902 m², integrating a rustic plot of 2,261 m² and an urban plot of 641 m², where the existing legal ruin is located, approximately 88 m². It is a short distance from the center of Loulé, with easy access to traditional commerce, restaurants, and services, and just a few minutes from the prestigious beaches and golf courses of Quinta do Lago and Vale do Lobo. This location harmoniously combines the tranquility of the countryside with the premium lifestyle of the Algarve. The existing ruin, located on the urban plot, allows, under the Loulé Municipal Master Plan (PDM), its reconstruction and expansion up to 300 m² on a single floor above ground, provided that the expansion is physically connected to the original building, with scattered or autonomous construction not permitted. Additionally, the execution of a basement area is allowed, enabling a total construction area of approximately 424 m². This solution offers great flexibility for creating technical areas, leisure spaces, garage, and support areas, ensuring a discreet layout and perfect integration into the surrounding landscape. In addition to the residential aspect, and always subject to municipal approval and applicable urban planning framework, there is also the possibility of presenting alternative proposals, namely for: - Service uses, with a potential construction area of up to 500 m²; - Rural tourism, with a potential construction area of up to 2,000 m². These options provide greater versatility to the investment, being particularly interesting for projects of a touristic, hotel, or mixed-use nature, always dependent on the respective urban planning authorizations. This framework allows the development of a contemporary architecture dwelling or of a traditional character, with spacious interiors, total privacy, and a strong connection to outdoor spaces. * Property Highlights: - Land with a total area of 2,902 m² - Urban plot with 641 m² and legal ruin of 88 m² - Rustic plot with 2,261 m² - Housing - up to 300 m² of construction above ground, on a single floor with the possibility of a basement, totaling approximately 424 m² of construction area - Potential for service use (up to 500 m²) - Potential for rural tourism (up to 2,000 m²) - Sea view and preserved natural surroundings - Tranquil location with excellent accessibility - Proximity to Loulé, Quinta do Lago, and Vale do Lobo A rare opportunity to develop an exclusive residential or investment project in an area of increasing demand, where Algarve authenticity combines with open views and proximity to the most prestigious lifestyle destinations in the Algarve.
