Portugal: For sale: 653 Ha in Herdade da Amieira, Poceirao, Lisbon
Whilst not normal to describe land in this way, the field is approximately 1.5km’s wide by 4.5km’s long, and other than the eastern boundary, the field is a rectangle. It is predominantly flat, undulating by only +/- 7m’s over its entirety. There are 11 existing boreholes on the land, typically at the former centers of the pivot irrigation that was used on the land up until about 10 years ago. Four of the boreholes are still licensed for abstraction, and the relicensing of the others we are told is an administrational formality!
The area experiences weather patterns that are conducive to a wide range of cropping, and being situated above one of the most significant aquifers on the Iberian Peninsula, the availability of water is assured, making the sandy soils very attractive for vegetable or salads production. With good access to sea, rail and road links, Northern Europe is no more than 24 hours away in a lorry.
With a guide price of €16.3 million, the land represents a significant saving when compared to land of similar quality and productivity elsewhere in Europe; where else would it be possible currently to buy a block of land with the opportunities this affords, in a single transaction?
