6-Bed Country Estate | 80 Hectares & Water Independence | Bensafrim, Lagos (Algarve)
Investment opportunity near Lagos! 6-bed villa on 80 hectares with pool, garage, lakes, and potential for rural tourism. Just 15 mins from Lagos.
EXCLUSIVELY PRESENTED BY LAGOS HOMES
Most Algarve country homes offer privacy. This estate gives you an entire landscape — approximately 80 hectares of fully fenced land with documented private water infrastructure, agricultural income and rural tourism potential, just 15 minutes from Lagos.
Located near Bensafrim, this exceptional country estate combines a licensed six-bedroom residence, swimming pool, garage and agricultural buildings with more than 800,000 m² of valleys, hills, native forest, pasture and productive land.
THE MAIN HOUSE
The traditional country house offers generous living areas, a fireplace, air conditioning, mezzanine, office, pantry and fully equipped kitchen. Outside, the property includes a licensed 32 m² swimming pool with child-safe fencing, a barbecue area with a wood-burning oven and several covered spaces for outdoor dining and relaxation. Additional structures include a garage, a three-room storage building, stables, kennels, chicken coops, an orchard and a vegetable garden.
PRIVATE WATER INFRASTRUCTURE
One of the estate’s most valuable features is its extensive and documented private water infrastructure — an increasingly rare advantage in the Algarve.
The property benefits from:
• Licensed borehole approximately 140 metres deep
• Filtration system supplying the house and swimming pool
• Two dams
• Three wells
• Natural stream with water throughout the year
• Potential for gravity-fed irrigation
These resources provide a strong foundation for residential use, agriculture, livestock, landscaping or a future hospitality project.
80 HECTARES OF PRIVATE COUNTRYSIDE
The fully fenced estate incorporates varied terrain, including valleys, hills, pasture and areas of cork oak, pine, medronho and native vegetation. A tarmac section of the EN120 provides convenient access through the estate. Internal tracks connect its different areas and can accommodate agricultural machinery, trekking, cycling or recreational routes. The scale and diversity of the land create numerous possibilities, including use as a private family estate, equestrian property, regenerative farm, wellness retreat, eco-lodge or long-term land investment.
RURAL TOURISM POTENTIAL
An architectural feasibility assessment indicates potential development of up to 2,000 m² under Turismo em Espaço Rural (TER), subject to planning permission and approval by the relevant authorities.
Potential concepts could include:
• Boutique rural hotel
• Wellness or yoga retreat
• Eco-lodges
• Agro-tourism project
• Regenerative agriculture concept
• Farm-to-table hospitality destination
The identified development area is positioned around the existing buildings, allowing a future project to remain connected to the estate’s established residential centre. Supporting documentation is available for review.
AGRICULTURAL INCOME POTENTIAL
The estate already benefits from established agricultural activities and documented income sources, including cork production, agricultural support payments and a 12.5-hectare organic medronho plantation established in November 2024. The property currently receives approximately €18,000 per year in IFAP agricultural support payments, based on around 42 eligible hectares. According to the information provided, there may be potential to increase the eligible area following further land clearance. Owner-supplied projections indicate potential combined future annual income of approximately €57,000 from agricultural subsidies, medronho production and cork. All income figures and projections should be independently verified by the buyer.
LOCATION
Despite its scale and peaceful rural setting, the estate remains well connected to Lagos and the western Algarve:
• 15 minutes from Lagos
• 19 km from Meia Praia
• 19 km from Carrapateira
• 20 km from Praia do Amado
• 22 km from Aljezur
Finding this amount of fully fenced land near Lagos is already unusual. Finding it with a licensed residence, swimming pool and outbuildings, extensive documented water resources, agricultural income and identified tourism potential makes this a particularly rare opportunity.
This is more than a country home with land. It is a private Algarve estate with the scale, infrastructure and flexibility to become something truly significant.
