Living by the Lake – Dream Properties by the Lake in Central Portugal

Unique building plot with lake access and private beach

Anyone who has always dreamed of living directly on the shore of a warm, clean, and unspoiled lake will find an exceptional opportunity here: in the immediate vicinity of the village of Ponte de Amoreira, near Alvares and only about a 15-minute drive from Pedrógão Grande, lies this rare plot of land with direct access to the Cabril reservoir.

A particular advantage of this offer is the direct lake access with a private beach area. Here, personal living and leisure dreams can be realised – from your own boat dock to a nature-oriented tourism concept.

The total area is approx. 27,000 m², divided into three plots. The land offers sunny, south-facing areas as well as flat, cultivable terraces of approx. 3,000 m². According to the available information, it is possible to build a residential house with approx. 340 m² of living space over two floors. Additionally, garages, workshops, agricultural buildings, or usage-related outbuildings are also feasible. An architect and project developer are available and can be contacted directly (see total package).

Nature-based tourism concept

Anyone considering a nature-based tourism concept also has the option to purchase an adjoining neighbouring plot of approximately 20,000 hectares. The plots are ideally suited for nature-based holiday accommodation.

The plots are secluded, with no direct neighbours – ideal for anyone who wishes to create their own little paradise in Central Portugal.
The access is good and is via a very well-maintained road.

All-inclusive package

Independent of the acquisition of the plot, a supplementary planning package can be organised on-site, if desired. This includes architectural planning, the preparation of the building application, and the coordination of the necessary technical specialist planning for the approval phase.

Furthermore, the so-called „Especialidades“ can be coordinated, which are the specialist technical plans such as structural engineering, water and wastewater planning, rainwater drainage, septic tank or sewer connection, outdoor facilities, fire protection, acoustics, thermal insulation, and gas planning or a corresponding exemption application.

On-site construction management can also be organised additionally, if desired. This offer is optional and can be commissioned separately, independently of the purchase process.

Water and electricity supply

The Cabril Reservoir is one of the most impressive lakes in Central Portugal. It stretches for about 70 kilometres and is known for its calm, natural surroundings. The water is warm, clear and invites swimming, fishing, rowing, canoeing or sailing for many months of the year. In summer, the lake reaches pleasant bathing temperatures, while it is also a wonderful place for relaxation and nature observation outside the season.

The water supply can be taken directly from the lake; an additional filter system is available upon request. Alternatively, a well can be drilled.

For the power supply, an autonomous solar system is ideal, which is perfectly suited to this sunny location for an independent off-grid concept.

A telephone line runs along the property boundary, making it possible to implement internet and communication solutions as well.
