Portuguese Alentejo landscape

About Pela Terra

Agriculture that builds a future for families

We invest in productive Portuguese farmland to generate stable returns and provide a pathway to European residency for our investors and their families.

Portugal's first agriculture-focused Golden Visa fund

Pela Terra was founded with a straightforward conviction: the Golden Visa should create real value — for investors, for rural communities, and for the land itself.

We acquire degraded and underutilised Portuguese farmland, restore it through regenerative agriculture, and operate it as productive agricultural businesses. Our investors receive a pathway to EU residency while their capital works in one of the lowest-volatility asset classes available.

Since our first fund in 2019, we have grown to manage over €80M in assets across thousands of hectares in the Alentejo region — Portugal's agricultural heartland.
