Description
We present Herdade do Pato, located in Cabrela, Montemor-o-Novo. With a total of 176 hectares, this magnificent property values its tranquility and location. It's just a short 10-minute drive to the Marateca junction, providing access to highways A2, A6, and A13, and 45 minutes from Lisbon airport and the beaches of Comporta. Ideal for those seeking a refuge in Alentejo with superb views of meadows that stand out in the summer with their vibrant green hue. It also includes a 360-square-meter ruin, nestled on one of the three high points of the estate, allowing for the construction of an Alentejo-style house tailored to your needs. In addition to its natural beauty, due to its irregular topography, Herdade do Pato serves as a sanctuary for centuries-old cork oaks and pine trees. The healthy wooded forest space yields a cork harvest of 7,000@ every nine years. This production comes from two harvests, with the next ones scheduled for 2026 and 2029. It's also important to note the significant number of young cork oaks that will have their first virgin cork harvest in 2026. The production of pine cones, made possible through pruning and proper tree spacing, is another source of profitability for the property. With over 1,000 stone pine trees registered since 1960, with good vitality and natural regeneration, an average annual pine cone production of 75 tons can be expected. The rice fields totaling 27 hectares have a stable water source from the Marateca stream, which has irrigated the property over the years. Currently, parts of the meadows are leased for rice production. This is a unique property on the market where the typical cork oak and pine tree montado not only enhances agricultural profitability but also serves as a landscape for those looking to invest in rural tourism. By overlaying the National Ecological Reserve (REN) and risk maps, it has been calculated that there are 45 hectares of rural land free from restrictions, allowing for the construction of a tourist development regulated by the current Municipal Master Plan (PDM). The Alentejo region stands out for its beautiful landscape, quality archaeological, monumental, and architectural heritage, as well as its excellent gastronomy and wines, making it exceptionally suited for an exploration that combines nature and cultural tourism.
