Description
Located in the sought-after Melides area, in the village of Caveira, this mixed-use property combines the serenity of the rural landscape with the prestige of one of the most sought-after and exclusive destinations on the Alentejo coast. With a plot exceeding 4,500 m² and excellent access, including frontage onto a national road, it benefits from a tranquil setting and privileged proximity to the beaches and village.
The property’s main distinguishing feature is the existence of an urban property designation with a registered ruin of approximately 41 m². This existing structure provides an ideal starting point for a rehabilitation and extension project, with the potential to reach up to 200 m² of total construction area, subject to the required feasibility assessment and approval by the competent authorities. The absence of REN and RAN restrictions on the land represents a substantial advantage, providing greater clarity and flexibility for the development of an architect-designed proposal.
The plot’s scale allows for the conception of a contemporary or traditionally inspired villa, harmoniously integrated into the local ecosystem and surrounded by generous leisure areas, Mediterranean gardens and a private swimming pool, while preserving privacy and seclusion.
More than land with a ruin, this is an increasingly rare opportunity to create an exclusive, personalised retreat in Melides, in a setting where Alentejo authenticity meets sophistication and continuously increasing property value.
Located in Melides, one of the most authentic areas of the Alentejo coast, this property is set in surroundings defined by tranquillity, nature and the genuine character of a traditional village. Surrounded by pine forests, farmland, dunes and Melides Lagoon, the region offers a diverse landscape and a particularly serene atmosphere.
The proximity to the Atlantic beaches and the lagoon allows for different experiences throughout the year, from days spent by the sea to nature walks and moments of contemplation. The village offers restaurants, local shops and charming spaces, while new hospitality and design destinations have strengthened the region’s international appeal. Among them is Hôtel Vermelho, a five-star boutique hotel created by Christian Louboutin.
Around one hour and twenty minutes from Lisbon, Melides is sought after by those who value privacy, identity and a more peaceful way of life. A place where beauty lies in the village’s human scale, the light of the landscape and the feeling of remaining connected to what truly matters.
