Property for Sale in Comporta

Comporta is at the base of the Trio Peninsula, a narrow strip of land between the Atlantic Ocean and the Sado Estuary, the rural heartland of Portugal. Comporta is one of seven villages, with the whole area – all 12,500 hectares of it – called the Herdade da Comporta.  

Comporta has a not-so-secret reputation as the under-the-radar haunt of A-list celebrities, models, and designers. For this, it has been dubbed Portugal’s answer to Ibiza, but that would be a mistake. Comporta has fashioned its own personality. While Comporta is a top choice for the rich and glamorous to purchase a second home in, they are attracted to the location’s low-key vibe. There is no desire for Comporta to be the next Ibiza or even the next Algarve. Comporta offers 12km of sand so immaculate that it easy to imagine that you are not in Europe, breathtaking pine forests and paddy fields. It is dotted with boutique hotels, family-owned restaurants serving the finest seafood and bars with terraces to sip on a gin and tonic while you observe the stunning scenery. Furthermore, Comporta is ideal for nature lovers as the Sado Esturary Nature Reserve is home to over 200 species of bird. Plus, it is an excellent place to spot otters, dolphins and flamingos. It is also a great place for feeling the wind in your hair, whether you take a hot air balloon to view the area from above; speeding through the rice fields on an electric bike; riding on a horse; practicing yoga on the beach; or, simply, taking a lovely leisurely stroll.  

Another great thing about Comporta is that it is just an hour and a quarter away from the lively, cosmopolitan city of Lisbon. And yet, offers a totally different, calming atmosphere. If you are looking to work in Lisbon, Comporta could be the perfect place to own a home by the beach, away from the rush of the city. The route most would take is to drive to Comporta (12 minutes) to the Tróia - Cais Sul ferry to Setúbal (25 minutes) and then drive to Lisbon (37 minutes). It is also possible to travel via bus or train, though this adds on to your journey time. The nearest airport to Comporta is Lisbon International Airport, which offers affordable flights to Europe and beyond throughout the year.  

Comporta benefits from warm, dry summers and winters that are much milder than northern Europe. June through to September is the hottest and driest time of year. August is the warmest month of the year with an average daily maximum of 31°C. Meanwhile, January is the coldest month with an average daily maximum of 15 degrees.  

Due to its reputation as a luxury destination, property for sale in Comporta is expensive. Additionally, as its status is growing, there is not an abundance of properties to choose from, like you would find in a more established area such as the Algarve. It is possible to find a small village house for sale in Comporta for as little as €250,000. Moreover, it can be challenging to find an apartment for sale in Comporta as the market is more dominated by modern houses. The starting price for a house for sale in Comporta is €700,000. If you can afford it, Comporta has amazing luxury properties for sale of a million or more. These homes tend to benefit from a swimming pool, garden, terraces, a fireplace and close proximity to the beach.
