8-Hectare Farm in Melides

Private Farm near Melides — Family Getaway Between Cork Oaks and the Atlantic Ocean

Imagine arriving home on the Alentejo road, crossing the fence that guarantees absolute privacy, and opening the door to a setting where the silence is interrupted only by the wind in the cork oak canopies and the birdsong. This secluded and private farm, easily accessible, offers exactly that: a safe, serene place close to everything that matters to those seeking a quality of life outside of large urban centers.

Located just 5 minutes from Melides, 10 minutes from Grândola, 20 minutes from the beach, and 30 minutes from Comporta, the location combines rural tranquility with excellent accessibility to the best attractions of the Alentejo coast—wide sandy beaches, protected pine forests, and a growing selection of restaurants and services. These short distances make the property perfect for families seeking a peaceful life without sacrificing conveniences and proximity to the sea.

The Property
With 8 hectares of land, fully fenced, the farm was designed for those who value privacy and autonomy. Inside, there are two houses: the main house: a house with 3 bedrooms, spacious living rooms, a bathroom, an equipped kitchen, and two porches. A separate annex: a bedroom, living room, kitchen, and bathroom—ideal for guests, family retreats, or for exploring local accommodation. The architecture blends Alentejo tradition with outdoor areas designed for al fresco dining and gatherings under the starry Alentejo sky.

Outside, the fertile land is already prepared for family farming projects or sustainable vegetable gardens; a borehole ensures a reliable water supply for housing and irrigation. Cork oaks and fruit trees create a productive and preserved landscape, with potential for both private use and small rural tourism initiatives or short-term rentals, should the new owner so desire.

Lifestyle and Surroundings
Living here means waking up to the sound of birds, strolling along trails among cork oaks and pine forests, and reaching the beach in less than half an hour. Melides and its surroundings offer a rare combination: an active local community, traditional markets, an emerging culinary scene, and a protected natural environment—perfect for families seeking safety, fresh air, and direct contact with nature.
