Land in Cabanas with virtual tour

Urban plot of land, 10,880 m², Cabanas, Quinta do Anjo, Palmela – For Sale, €2,900,000.00. 

The surrounding landscape of this plot is extraordinary, and you are sure to be enchanted by the nature, tranquility, and views. It is located at the foot and north of the Serra da Arrábida and its Natural Park.
Imagine waking up on the weekend and going outside to play with the children, overlooking the Serra da Arrábida, looking south… Or having dinner with friends on the terrace! 

The urban plot has a total area of ​​10,880.00 m², rectangular and L-shaped, with a Northwest/Southeast orientation and no significant slopes. Its sun exposure allows you to take advantage of daylight from sunrise to sunset. 

It is located next to the N379 between Palmela and Azeitão, to the Southeast, surrounded by existing buildings and recent developments, as well as rustic land and neighboring farms. 

Within minutes, you'll find entrances to the A33 and A2 motorways, as well as the train stations of Penalva, Pinhal Novo, and Venda do Alcaide, with connections to Lisbon and Setúbal, and a bus network with a stop on the N379 opposite the property. Autoeuropa is 12 minutes away, and the area with large shopping centers next to the N10 is about 20 minutes away – commerce and employment close to home. 

A few minutes away, for family outings, you can venture into nature programs in the nearby Serra da Arrábida, or go to the beach, on the excellent beaches of Serra, Setúbal, and Sesimbra. 

Urban Planning Context: 

This context is based on the analysis of the current Palmela Municipal Master Plan (PDM), published in Diário de República com o Aviso n.º 19743/2026/2 de 10 de Agosto . 

The plot is located within the Cabanas Urban Perimeter — Urban Land — and is classified under the H1 Residential Areas and Protective Green Spaces (VP) categories.  

“Residential Areas (…) are those where the built structures are predominantly intended for residential use and must be served by urban infrastructure, green zones, and facilities for collective use. (…) They are primarily designated for residential use but must, where appropriate, include central-function activities; these should preferably be located on the ground floor and face directly onto a square or open public space, creating conditions conducive to social interaction and lingering.” 

“Urban Green Spaces (…) are areas serving functions of ecological balance and accommodating outdoor recreation and leisure activities, as well as agricultural and forestry areas within the urban context; they coincide, in whole or in part, with the municipal ecological framework. (…) They are intended for environmental functions, the protection of road infrastructure, and the framing of urban functions, and may be public or private. Areas adjacent to watercourses, where present, must be protected and renaturalized, involving the eradication of invasive and nuisance species.”

There are existing structures on the site, namely an old winery, various outbuildings and sheds supporting operations, and the former family home within the larger building complex located in the southwest of the property. The remaining area also contains an old olive oil mill nd two residential complexes; one of these includes a section that is in ruins and currently occupied by tenants, though the process of their relocation is nearing completion.

Construction capacity: 

For this simulation, the buildable capacity is determined by applying a maximum permitted construction ratio of 0.75 to the strip of land adjacent to the public road "up to a depth of 30 meters" specifically the 1,385 m² plot located to the southwest—and a construction ratio of 0.50 to the remaining 9,495 m² area. 

Consequently, for the southwest plot, the plan allows for 13 multi-family residential units. This figure is based on an L-shaped building footprint of 60 linear meters along the existing street (yielding 675 m²) plus the 215.5 m² footprint of the existing old winery; calculations account for the permitted two stories and a Gross Construction Area (GCA) of 135 m² per unit. 

For the remaining plot, the plan allows for 29 single-family homes, each with a building footprint of 82.5 m² and a GCA of 165 m² (based on the permitted two stories). Note that there is already one house on the site, though it is not included in this sale. 

Don't miss this opportunity to live amidst nature, enjoying exceptional sun exposure and a unique natural setting. I have an economic feasibility study to share with you, projecting a positive ROI of over 20%.
