Description
This farmhouse for sale in Santiago do Cacém sits on 3.6 hectares of land in São Francisco da Serra, in Portugal's Alentejo Litoral. The house is a manageable 131 m² and in good condition. The plot is where the scale is: 35,750 m², or roughly 270 m² of land for every square metre of living space. That ratio is hard to find within reach of the Atlantic coast, and it changes what a second home can be. Think vegetable beds, fruit trees, space for animals or simply a great deal of quiet.
The Farmhouse and Its 3.6 Hectares
The listing gives the essentials rather than a room-by-room tour, so here is what is confirmed: 131 m² of living area, a plot of 35,750 m² and a property in good condition. That last point matters. A farmhouse that does not need an immediate renovation can be used from the first summer, and you can decide later what, if anything, to change.
The data does not mention a pool, outbuildings, a well or specific crops, so ask about those before you plan a visit. A few questions are worth putting to the seller early. How much of the land is flat and usable? Is there a reliable water source? What is already planted? And how are the boundaries registered? In rural Portugal, a single holding is often made up of several separate land registry entries, so request the caderneta predial and the land registry certificate at the start.
Living Near Santiago do Cacém
São Francisco da Serra is a small village in the municipality of Santiago do Cacém, and day-to-day life runs through the town. Santiago do Cacém has the supermarkets, cafés, services and a hospital you will want within reach. It also has a hilltop castle and, just outside town, the Roman ruins of Miróbriga. The countryside around here is classic Alentejo: open, gently rolling land, cork oaks, wide skies, hot dry summers and mild, wetter winters.
The coast is the other draw. The Lagoa de Santo André and its Atlantic beach are roughly half an hour away, and the port town of Sines is about the same. Further south, Porto Covo and Vila Nova de Milfontes on the Costa Vicentina are around 45 minutes to an hour by car. You can spend the morning on your own land and the afternoon on the sand, which is what makes a holiday home in Alentejo so appealing to buyers who want space without giving up the sea.
Getting There: Airports and Drive Times
Most international buyers will fly into Lisbon, which is roughly an hour and a half to an hour and three-quarters away by road, depending on traffic around the capital. Faro airport is about two hours away, which opens up a second set of flight routes, especially in summer. These are approximate times, so check them against your own route before you commit.
A car is essential here. The village is rural, shops and restaurants are a short drive away, and you will want your own transport for the beaches. For a second home, that is part of the rhythm: land the plane, collect the rental car, and be on your own land by early evening.
Buying a Farmhouse in Portugal as a Second Home
A property with 3.6 hectares needs more upkeep than an apartment, and it is better to plan for that from the start. Portugal has rules on clearing vegetation around buildings in rural areas, so budget for land maintenance, especially before the dry season. If you will be away for months at a time, line up a local caretaker or gardener who can keep an eye on the property and the land.
The purchase process is straightforward but paperwork-heavy. You will need a Portuguese tax number (NIF), and an independent lawyer is strongly advised to check title, boundaries and permitted use of the land. The asking price is 550,000 EUR. For anyone comparing Portugal real estate options on the Alentejo coast, this sits in the category of a lifestyle property with real land rather than a house on a village plot.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is this farmhouse from Lisbon airport?
Expect roughly an hour and a half to an hour and three-quarters by car, depending on traffic. Faro is about two hours away.
Is 3.6 hectares enough for farming or keeping animals?
It is a generous plot for a family project, such as vegetables, fruit trees or a few animals. What is actually allowed depends on the zoning of the land, so ask the câmara municipal of Santiago do Cacém what uses are permitted before you buy.
Could this farmhouse work as a holiday rental?
The Alentejo coast draws plenty of summer visitors, so the idea is realistic. Short-term rental needs the right licence, and that depends on the property and local rules, so have your lawyer confirm it first.
