Description
The estate is situated on a plot with a total area of 13hectares, adjacent to Estrada do Prado, in the Union of Parishes of Tomar, and along the banks of the Nabão River, a watercourse that played a crucial role in the industrial and historical development of the region, having been used as a source of energy by the former local factories.
Its main advantage lies in the approval of an architectural project designed to rehabilitate approximately 1,300sqm into residential spaces, ideally intended for a retreat center, spa, or boutique hotel. The project includes 16 suites, a restaurant, and parking, with a division into two distinct zones: one focused on more private accommodation and the other on social and leisure spaces, where visitors can enjoy meals, relax, read, and care for their body, mind, and spirit, following an integrative health approach.
There are significant tax incentives for this rehabilitation, including zero-interest financing, due to the location of the plot in a low-density population area.
The surrounding area is well-infrastructured, with good access and a network of water, sewage, electricity, and telecommunications, all compatible with the future connection to the intended building.
The estate, where the building is located, covers an area of approximately 14 hectares and is surrounded by idyllic beauty. Don't miss the opportunity to visit a property with exceptional characteristics.
Tomar is best known as the last seat of the Knights Templar and as one of the first places where industrialization took place, since the river Nabão, which runs through the city, powered the first factories in Portugal. It is a town of 10,000 inhabitants that has many unique and attractive aspects. It retains the charm of an old, historic place, with picturesque, narrow streets; it has a famous castle and convent; it is not overloaded with traffic or tourism; it has a strong and proud heritage linked to the Ribatejo area and its traditions; it is a place of horse breeding and wine production; it is very central and served by both train and bus (1.5 hours from Lisbon); and it is 10 minutes from the 70m lake of Castelo de Bode. In recent years, it has attracted different investors of various nationalities. Its north, south, east and west are all quite different in terms of ecology and topography, so you have to look for what suits you best. Population densities are not high and it is possible to live in a small town or in the open countryside. There are good secondary schools and a Polytechnic University. There are classical music and jazz festivals in the summer and plenty of epicurean delights. This is authentic Portugal at its best and it's only 50 minutes from the sea.
The landscape varies between oak, orange, olive and eucalyptus plantations. There are several rivers around the city and many hills with lovely views. In winter, temperatures rarely reach zero, but there are periods of heavy rain. Summers are dry, with a few weeks in August when temperatures can reach 35 degrees.
