Aldeia do Almegue

        In an ancient, unspoilt land where
             Templar Knights once reigned,
     a charming Portuguese village is reborn.
                                An inspiring valley of sun,
                           water and natural beauty called
                                   Aldeia do Almegue

Cernache de Bonjardim, Portugal

Originally the Aldeia do Almegue project was planned to become a large scale holiday village with 350 chalets situated at the slopes of the mountains facing the Castelo de Bode lake.

Project area in Almegue (purple area)

The project area in Almegue according to the POACB (purple area)

In the pre-face of the project the Municipality of Sertã allowed the company to build a number of houses, which at the moment are 12 chalets owned by the company. All chalet designs are the property of the company and the chalets were delivered by Kontio in Finland.

Although the urbanization plan was approved the government refused to ratify the urbanization plan resulting in the cancellation of the original project.

What is left is a project area of about 20 hectares where with a population rate of 30 inhabitants per hectare about 100 houses can be build.

Also available is a smaller project area which is the old village with old Portuguese traditional build houses in ruins, where about 15 housing units can be rebuild.

View at the Castelo de Bode lake

An unique project

It has become an unique place as the new land use plan for the Castelo de Bode lake (POACB) does not allow other constructions than in the areas included in that plan.

The project area itself has two easy access roads to the lake where beach areas can be realized. Boats can be moored at the water front.

Transes International itself is not interested in building a small project and therefore it has put the remaining project for sale.

First nucleus build in Aldeia do Almegue

The surroundings of Aldeia do Almegue offer many cultural trips (e.g. Fatima, Tomar, and Coimbra). Lisbon and the Atlantic Coast (beaches at Figuera da Foz) are all reachable within one to two hours by good roads.

The Chalets build

The chalets are built from massive wood. The wood materials are imported from Finland, from the second largest supplier of wood houses in that country. The chalets are built on a concrete pillar foundation along the wooded hillsides to protect the landscape.

The Chalets are well insulated with fully equipped bathrooms and kitchen, large partly covered terraces, a carport under the house and floor heating

There are 3 basic types of chalets, ranging in size from 100 to 250 m² meter, with 2 to 4 bedrooms, 1 to 2 bathrooms and constructed on land plots ranging from 600 to 2000 m2. All chalets are built to Portuguese regulations and permanent stay is allowed.

In the meanwhile the municipality provided already running water to the site and paved one of the two access roads to the village.

What is included

The project-for-sale includes all the present company lands in Almegue, the remaining promised contracts for lands with various land owners, the project and chalet designs.

Present houses will stay for the moment with the company

At the moment the company is not selling the already build houses. It implies that the project is sold, but the already build houses will stay with the company as long as needed.

The new owner can count of local support for the approval of the remaining project.

Price negotiable

The price of the project will be negotiated with serious investors/ project developers who have sufficient financial resources to buy and continue the project.
