A truly rare opportunity to secure a frontline ocean plot on one of Western Europe’s most sought-after coastlines. Set at the edge of the clifftop in Ribamar, just above Ribeira d’Ilhas and Coxos - the heart of Europe’s only UNESCO World Surfing Reserve - this 1279 m² urban plot offers complete privacy, permanent sea views, and direct access to Portugal’s surf capital and creative coastline.

Facing west, the plot guarantees uninterrupted sunsets over the Atlantic, with no possibility of construction in front. The ocean becomes your backyard. A cliffside trail leads you on foot to Coxos, one of Europe’s best surf breaks, in just 15 minutes. The centre of Ericeira is five minutes by car, and Lisbon is under 40 minutes away.

This part of Ericeira is fast becoming a hotspot for high-end private residences, plots being transformed into landmark homes. The plot sits just up the coast from Ujjayi, a new luxury development where homes start at €3M. Locals have started calling this stretch Ericeira’s Malibu. This is the last, best and largest GCA-approved plot available in this prime location.

Plot & Project Details

• Plot size: 1279 m²
• Build potential: up to 600 m²
• Orientation: West-facing, oceanfront
• PIP approval granted
• Architectural submission: Planned for Q1 2026
• Construction start: Expected Q2 2026 under the Simplex Regime
• Estimated completion: End of 2027
• Total estimated investment: €3 million (land + build)

The project has already secured a top-tier local team, including architect and a trusted contractor. A recent meeting with Mafra Town Hall confirmed the ability to submit a full project and move directly to construction within months, eliminating the usual long lead times.

At this stage, the buyer still has full freedom to brief the design and customise the layout to their needs. Initial studies propose a modern, u-shaped villa with understated luxury, rooted in the natural landscape and designed for year-round indoor–outdoor living.

Planned Features (Flexible Brief)

• 5 en-suite bedrooms
• Contained guest or staff studio apartment
• Study or creative workspace
• Open-plan living areas with full ocean exposure
• Infinity pool with sunset views
• Spa with sauna overlooking the Atlantic
• Yoga deck and outdoor entertaining areas
• U-shaped layout with protected internal courtyard
• Large underground garage with storage
• Fully landscaped garden with native planting

This is one of the very few true oceanfront plots available in Europe, with clear project viability, a top team already in place, and a location that blends barefoot lifestyle with architectural ambition.
