About this land

Original listing description, in Portuguese.

Set in the countryside of Ericeira, this 615 m² plot offers the opportunity to create a contemporary home in a peaceful setting with open views across the surrounding landscape and the Atlantic on the horizon. South-facing and surrounded by greenery, the property combines the privacy of a rural environment with easy access to one of Portugal's most established coastal communities.The plot is offered with an approved Prior Information Request (PIP), confirming the municipality's acceptance of the proposed development parameters. The approved concept envisions a detached villa of approximately 230 m² with a swimming pool and a separate guest annex. While the future owner will still develop the architectural project and complete the licensing process, the approved planning framework provides a clear starting point and removes much of the initial uncertainty associated with purchasing land.The proposed house has been positioned to make the most of the site's orientation, natural light and open views. The guest annex introduces flexibility for visiting family and friends, a home office or independent accommodation, while the pool and surrounding outdoor areas extend daily life into the landscape.Today, the plot already has an established natural character. Mature fruit trees, including a large fig tree, contribute to the sense of place, while the surrounding countryside of orchards, rolling hills and scattered farmhouses creates a setting that feels calm and established throughout the seasons.This is a property for buyers who want to shape a home around their own priorities without starting the planning process from scratch. It offers the foundations for a contemporary architectural project while leaving room to define the final design, materials and interior layout.Ericeira has become one of Portugal's best-known coastal destinations, bringing together an international community drawn by surfing, remote work and a lifestyle shaped by the Atlantic. Recognised as Europe's only World Surfing Reserve, its coastline is home to some of the country's best-known surf breaks, including nearby Ribeira d'Ilhas and Coxos.Santo Isidoro has quietly become one of the most sought-after areas surrounding Ericeira, appreciated for its slower pace, open landscapes and growing collection of independent businesses. Local favourites including the village bakery, Vizinha farm shop and Immerso Hotel contribute to a community that feels both established and evolving.Ribeira d'Ilhas beach is approximately eight minutes away, while Ericeira's restaurants, cafés and everyday amenities can be reached in around fifteen minutes. Together with international schools, healthcare services, independent shops and coworking spaces, the area offers the infrastructure for everyday living while preserving the character of Portugal's Atlantic countryside.
