A horse-riding estate on the peninsula of Monte da Rocha Lake can be found just 6 km from Ourique in Portugal’s Alentejo region. This exceptional rural property is available to buy for €1,200,000 and combines lake access with a ready-made equestrian setting. It occupies 14.45 hectares across two plots with independent entrance gateways. Approximately 1.5 km of private waterfront surrounds the picturesque peninsula location. Horse owners have access to 11 loose boxes within an American Barn-style complex of around 900 m². The estate also provides a sand riding training school for schooling and exercise. An internationally sized grass jumping arena offers room for ambitious training programmes and equestrian events. Interconnected paddocks allow horses to be moved efficiently around the land. Field shelters and piped water are positioned to support turnout and daily care. A grip room, workshop and indoor and outdoor washing areas add practical convenience. The whole perimeter is fenced, helping create a secure environment for horses and equipment. Around 400 olive trees bring a traditional Alentejo agricultural character to the estate. Two large licensed ruins are included and may offer redevelopment possibilities, subject to approvals and applicable restrictions. The licensed construction area is 314 m² and includes seven licensed divisions. An existing agricultural building has a construction area of 248 m² and five divisions. The property is within the National Ecological Reserve, so any future works must respect nature protection regulations.
