Overview
The one region we're actually building in.
The Western Algarve is our one active, fully open project — building plots minutes from Blue Flag beaches, in a rental market with a track record of holding occupancy well outside peak summer months. Every other region on this site is a future idea we haven't started working on yet; the Algarve is real, today.
Parcels range from single-villa plots to blocks large enough for a small development. Freehold ownership is available directly in your own name — no local company or residency requirement, unlike several of our other regions.
Every parcel is sold with a survey plan, zoning confirmation, and a title report from an independent Portuguese notary.

Questions
Frequently asked.
Can foreigners buy freehold property in Portugal?
Yes — there are no restrictions on foreign ownership of Portuguese real estate. You can hold title in your own name, the same way a Portuguese national would, through a standard notarized purchase.
Does buying here qualify for the Golden Visa?
No. Real estate investment was removed from Portugal's Golden Visa program in October 2023. If residency is part of your thinking, that's a separate conversation with separate, currently-qualifying routes — buying here is a sound decision on its own economic merits, but it shouldn't be your visa strategy.
What does the rental licensing process involve?
Short-term rentals require an Alojamento Local (AL) license from the local municipality. Our property manager handles the application and ongoing compliance as part of our managed rental program, or we can hand you the paperwork if you'd rather manage it yourself.
Is this region actually active, unlike the others?
Yes. The Algarve is our one fully active project right now — real listings, a real local team, and parcels you can actually buy today. Cameroon, Bali, Nerja, and Niseko are regions we haven't started working on yet.
