Melides, Setúbal Municipality, Address available on request

Melides, a charming hamlet on the Alentejo coast might not be as famous as neighbouring Comporta, but those in the know have already started drifting South to this protected area of natural beauty. The areas pristine beaches, lagoon and laid back style have captivated the likes of Christian Louboutin, George Clooney and Vincent Van Duysen who are drawn to the enclaves' discreet vibe. It is here on a hill overlooking the coastline we find this 4.1 hectare plot with an approved project for sale.

The approved architectural project and paid building license provides a rare opportunity to leapfrog the usual planning timeline and there is a project manager and contractor available to execute the construction - estimated at 18 months.

The minimalist project comprises a 393m2 and 174m2 of terraces and includes a principal 4-bedroom house and a 2-bedroom guest house designed to create a seamless connection between open plan living spaces and the surrounding nature.

The thoughtfully considered landscaping plan envisages an organic vegetable garden, an octagonal yoga deck, a petanque court, and a swimming pool with spaces designed to enjoy the sunny climate all year round.

The local authorities have paused granting licences for new projects in the area to preserve the area from overdevelopment, so this plot offers a unique chance to build a custom-designed home in an exceptionally sought-after location.

Offering an opportunity for an exclusive private hideaway, the property is conveniently located just 90 minutes from Lisbon and a short 15-minute drive from the historic fishing hamlet of Melides, with the Atlantic visible on the horizon.
