The Ribeira Grande Estate also stands out for its exceptional potential to diversify revenue streams.The combination of an outstanding natural landscape, abundant water resources, rich biodiversity and the tranquillity that characterises the Alto Alentejo region creates exceptional conditions for the development of distinctive tourism projects, capable of meeting the growing demand for authentic, sustainable and exclusive experiences.Plans are already in place for the development of a Premium Boutique Hotel within the framework of Rural Tourism, featuring a footprint of approximately 500 m² and comprising 10 luxury suites, designed to provide the highest standards of comfort, privacy and seamless integration with the surrounding landscape.The project may also qualify for public investment incentives available for tourism developments in low-density regions, subject to the support programmes in force at the time of implementation.In parallel, the property's outstanding environmental setting offers excellent opportunities for the development of Nature Tourism and Wine Tourism, including walking trails, wildlife and birdwatching experiences, wellness programmes and wine-related activities.A particularly distinctive feature is the approximately 800 metres of elevated wooden boardwalks running alongside a significant stretch of the stream, enhancing both the visitor experience and the future tourism component of the estate.The estate's hunting potential further complements its tourism offering, providing excellent conditions for the organisation of Big Game Hunting programmes under a sustainable and professionally managed model.Approximately 135 hectares of the property are particularly suited to big game hunting. This entire area is enclosed by a robust game fence standing approximately two metres high around its full perimeter. This infrastructure provides excellent conditions for the management, conservation and enhancement of local wildlife, representing a significant added asset and an additional source of long-term value.The entire estate is enclosed by high-quality perimeter fencing, complemented by several internal paddocks and enclosed management areas.Water availability is one of the Estate's greatest strategic assets.The property benefits from four fully licensed reservoirs, with approximate storage capacities of 4,400 m³, 38,500 m³, 9,200 m³ and 21,000 m³, complemented by water supplied through nine licensed artesian boreholes, ensuring an exceptionally high degree of water autonomy for agricultural operations.Subject to approval by the Portuguese Environment Agency (APA), there is also the possibility of relocating the dam wall of the main reservoir, increasing its storage capacity to approximately 100,000-110,000 m³. This expansion would provide sufficient irrigation capacity for approximately 20 hectares designated for the establishment of a Super-High-Density Olive Grove, creating an important additional source of agricultural income.Given the characteristics of the estate, there is also considerable potential for the implementation of a large-scale photovoltaic solar energy project across several dozen hectares, naturally subject to the relevant planning permissions and regulatory approvals.As part of the continued expansion of the estate's wine production business, the necessary planning and licensing process is currently underway for the construction of a new winery, designed to support the natural growth of production capacity.Until this project is completed, all winemaking operations and estate support activities are carried out in a fully licensed reinforced concrete facility, strategically positioned at one of the highest points of the estate and providing all the necessary conditions for the efficient operation of the business.The building includes a winemaking area of approximately 400 m², specifically designed to support the estate's current production.The property is also equipped with its own electricity Transformer Station (PT), an electrical distribution network serving the various operational areas of the estate, a Water Treatment Unit with filtration systems, together with all the technical infrastructure required to ensure the efficient operation of the agricultural business.These existing infrastructures guarantee the continuity of the operation while providing an excellent platform for future expansion and investment.The sale also includes an extensive range of agricultural machinery, winery equipment and vehicles, enabling the immediate continuation of the business without the need for significant additional investment.The agricultural equipment includes a 105 hp vineyard tractor, a 120 hp agricultural tractor, a 105 hp crawler tractor, a backhoe loader, together with a wide range of specialised vineyard maintenance equipment, including buckets, harrows, brush cutters, trailers, a water tanker, pallet forks, a vineyard tying machine (tacker), and numerous additional agricultural implements.The winery is fully equipped with seven 6,000-litre stainless steel tanks fitted with cooling jackets, eight 3,000-litre tanks with cooling jackets, three 2,500-litre tanks with cooling jackets, four 1,000-litre tanks, one 200-litre tank, a destemmer-crusher, wine press, peristaltic pump, two transfer pumps, a fully equipped laboratory, a water cooling chiller system, and a 50 kVA backup generator, providing all the essential equipment required for efficient wine production.Also included in the sale are two double-cab pick-up trucks and two distribution vehicles, which provide daily operational support across the various activities carried out on the estate.Complementing this portfolio of assets, the transaction also includes an adjoining property of approximately 7.15 hectares, where a fully renovated traditional estate house ('Casa de Monte') is located and currently operational.This residential area comprises a spacious open-plan living area, a fully equipped kitchen, a caretaker's house, an outdoor covered area with barbecue facilities, and a reservoir dedicated to supplying irrigation water.It is precisely within this area that the future Boutique Hotel is planned, benefiting from the proximity to the existing infrastructure and from an exceptional landscape setting.Very few properties are able to combine, in such a balanced manner, natural heritage, abundant water resources, established wine production, agricultural expansion potential, tourism development opportunities, hunting activities and additional avenues for asset appreciation.The Ribeira Grande Estate represents precisely this unique combination. More than a traditional agricultural property, it constitutes a multifunctional investment platform, prepared to grow, diversify revenue streams and create long-term sustainable value.The possibility of expanding the wine production activity, establishing a Super-High-Density Olive Grove, developing the Boutique Hotel, enhancing the hunting component, maximising the existing water resources and implementing a renewable energy project further reinforce the distinctive nature of this asset and its ability to adapt to future market trends.In a context where high-quality agricultural assets are gaining increasing importance in both national and international markets, the Ribeira Grande Estate stands out as a unique investment opportunity, combining profitability, heritage value, sustainability and quality of life.The next cork harvest is scheduled for 2028, with an estimated production of approximately 4,000 arrobas @.
