You can purchase a 122-hectare lakeside retreat in Portugal's Alentejo through the sale of Domain Du Lac in São Miguel de Pinheiro, Mértola. The asking price is €1,995,000 for a private estate with a 50,000 m² lake, main house, event pavilion and four bungalows. Serious buyers should contact the estate agent to arrange due diligence, confirm licensing and schedule a viewing. The property covers approximately 1,225,625 m² of fenced countryside between Mértola and Almodôvar. Its main house offers three bedrooms, an open-plan kitchen and living area, and direct views of the infinity pool and lake. The residence was built with insulated construction and reinforced concrete filling and holds an A+ energy certificate. Comfort features include air conditioning, a fireplace, solar water heating, double glazing and photovoltaic equipment. Outside, the 9 m x 4 m saltwater infinity pool overlooks the water and surrounding pine landscape. The private lake supports fishing, canoeing, swimming and other water activities, subject to applicable permissions. The sale includes a boat for aquatic sports and equipment for use around the lake. A small sandy beach creates a distinctive recreational feature within the estate. The licensed 268 m² pavilion has room for approximately 150 participants and includes a professional kitchen. Screens, sound systems, parking and a professional barbecue area make it suitable for events and group activities. Four independent bungalows offer additional accommodation with kitchens and private terraces. Their two- and three-bedroom layouts are in the final licensing phase, so buyers should obtain current legal and planning information before exchange. The land also contains around 100,000 pine trees, with the first pine nut harvest anticipated in 2027. Hiking, mountain biking and motocross can take place along access paths across the private grounds. Motorhome infrastructure may allow the estate to appeal to a broader range of rural tourism guests. The location provides a balance between seclusion and accessibility, with the Guadiana River and nearby towns around 25 minutes away. Algarve beaches and golf are roughly 60 minutes away, and Faro International Airport is approximately 80 minutes by car.
