I don't think it is. If you can't own the property or have to pay extreme taxes you will definitely think twice about moving there or buying up real estate. Make it -hurt-. Then only billionaires can afford to live there. Problem solved, there aren't that many billionaires. Or simply outlaw it. I don't know why that is hard? I mean they own their country. No one has a right to buy property there other than the Portuguese if they just say no.
