The opportunity

Ready to build. Already alive.

Most land in the Costa Vicentina comes with a decade of paperwork ahead of it. Here the permits are issued, the engineering is signed off, and the town water is already connected. Construction can begin within a week — on land that is already a working, planted, watered landscape.

The approved building site

Main residence

A 200 m² home you can start building next week.

One of the two ruins carries a fully approved architectural project for a 200 m² A+ energy-rated family home. The building permit has been issued, the engineering plans are signed off, and the A+ pre-certificate is in hand.

It sits at the entrance of the property, alongside a separate ruin — the easiest, most sheltered part of the land, with the town water connection already installed.

The second ruin with its own urban title

Second ruin

A second title, a second future.

The second ruin stands on its own independent urban title, with rights to reconstruct up to 150 m² subject to approval — a guest house, a studio, a second residence, or a rental unit.

There is also potential flexibility to relocate the ruin should the regulations change, which is expected.

The land

A lake, two gardens, and six thousand young trees.

Fifteen hectares that have been actively cared for: orchards under irrigation, a reforestation project planted in 2022, fenced paddock for horses, and a creek that runs through winter and spring.

  • First horta beside the yurts: 16 pear, 5 apple, 4 apricot, plus almond, lemon and vines — naturally irrigated
