REF PLA-6556

The Herdade do Vale, located between Silves and Monchique, spans a total area of 218 hectares and is crossed by two streams.

89% of the soil consists of lithosols, derived from schists and greywackes, rocky and low in organic matter, classified as having a D usage aptitude (S.R.O.A.); 6% consists of modern alluvial soils, located near the streams, non-calcareous with a medium texture, classified as A usage aptitude (S.R.O.A.), suitable for intensive agricultural use; and 5% consists of Mediterranean yellow soils, derived from schists or greywackes, with moderate limitations for intensive agriculture, classified as B usage aptitude (S.R.O.A.).

In terms of altitude, the property ranges between 12m and 150m, with 69% of the area located above 50m. The terrain is characterized by deep valleys, with 88% of the surface featuring slopes greater than 10%, reaching up to 50% in the steepest areas.

In addition to the aforementioned streams, the property includes four small hydrological basins. The average annual rainfall is 640 mm (30-year average), with significant interannual variations ranging from 240 mm to 970 mm, and water scarcity during summer, a typical characteristic of a distinctly Mediterranean climate. To manage water resources, the property has 7 small dams.
Current Land Use:

Stone pine: 121ha
Strawberry tree: 22ha (first production expected in 4-5 years)
Cork oak: 15ha (first cork harvest expected in 2041)
Eucalyptus: 1ha
Citrus orchards: 25ha (leased to CACIAL, generating stable and growing annual income)

It is worth mentioning that the forestry installation is registered and certified for organic production, which, in addition to its future production value, already generates income from community subsidies.

The property offers favorable climatic and morphological conditions for the development of viticulture.

The estate is also well-suited for nature and hunting tourism, given its privileged location in terms of landscape, biodiversity, seclusion, and proximity to the Algarve coast. The existing 1,000m² of buildings, 7 small dams, over 22km of forest paths, and the size of the property provide potential for luxury nature tourism development, a sector currently experiencing growing demand.

Decree-Law No. 4/2024 of January 5th, currently under regulation, establishes a voluntary carbon market in Portugal, enabling the participation of individual and private entities in promoting greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction projects. Given the investments in forestry production, the estate is well-positioned to benefit from this emerging market. Furthermore, there is potential for the development of alternative sustainable energy production, a sector undergoing significant global growth.

Located 20 minutes from Silves and Portimão, and 25 minutes from Alvor, the Herdade do Vale combines biodiversity, sustainability, and an exceptional investment opportunity in the tourism sector.
