Small Holdings for Sale in Portugal

Here at SilVista we have received a number of enquiries from buyers looking for small holdings in Portugal. It seems that the current global recession has reminded people that money isn’t everything and that quality of life is what really counts.

Portugal has a very temperate climate giving ideal growing conditions which is the reason why farming is such a major industry here.

With property prices at rock bottom now is the perfect time to buy a small holding in Portugal – imagine how different your life would be if you were to give up the rat race and downsize to a peaceful life in the sunshine.

For instance, we have a beautiful three bedroom villa with a swimming pool for sale set in a large plot (3000 sqm) giving you plenty of room for growing your own fruit and vegetables. This property has just been reduced to a bargain €180,000!

If you have a slightly higher budget then perhaps you should take a look at this beautiful restored 4 bedroom villa near Obidos. This unique property is a wonderful mixture of old and new complete with 11,000 sqm (2,75 acres).

Beautiful shady setting under the mature trees

When we came up with the idea for SilVista we were determined to be different to the Real Estate agents here in Portugal, and one of the things we promised was that we would bring you news about opportunities here on the Silver Coast before they become public knowledge.

So with that in mind I am delighted to tell you about an exciting opportunity that has arisen in Caldas da Rainha.

The beautiful café in the park will be going up for sale this summer offering a fantastic opportunity for someone to have their own ready made business on the Silver Coast.

The popular park in the heart of this historic spa town is beautifully maintained and features exotic plants and trees, lawns, a museum dedicated to local artist Jose Malhoa, a children’s play ground, boating lake, tennis courts and of course the busy picturesque café.

This is a genuine opportunity for someone to start a new life here on the Silver Coast so contact us now for further information.
