To purchase a lakeside equestrian estate with 1.5 kilometres of private waterfront in the Alentejo, buyers can consider this available property near Ourique at €1,200,000. The estate covers 14.45 hectares on a peninsula beside Monte da Rocha lake and includes established equestrian facilities. Start by requesting the full property documentation, including the land records, licensed construction information and details of the two rebuildable ruins. The property comprises two large plots with independent entrance gateways. Arrange an in-person inspection to assess the access track, fencing, waterfront, buildings, paddocks and arenas. The equestrian complex contains 11 loose boxes in an American Barn layout. Approximately 900 square metres of stable infrastructure provide substantial capacity for horse ownership or an equestrian venture. A sand training school is available for riding practice and schooling. The internationally sized grass jumping arena is suited to more advanced training and competition preparation. Paddocks are linked by internal fencing and include field shelters with piped water. The site also has a workshop and horse cleaning areas inside and outside the stable complex. A borehole and water piping along the property support practical rural operations. Around 400 olive trees contribute an additional agricultural dimension to the purchase. The perimeter is fully fenced, which can simplify the management of horses and other rural activities. The ruins have licensed status and a recorded licensed construction area of 314 square metres, but buyers should verify the current permissions with the relevant authorities. As the land lies within the National Ecological Reserve, proposed works must comply with nature protection regulations. Ourique is approximately 6 kilometres away and provides schools, a local market and several commercial and social services. Funcheira Train Station is around 10 kilometres away, the South West Coast beaches are about 62 kilometres distant and Faro International Airport is approximately 100 kilometres away. Ask a solicitor, surveyor and financial adviser to confirm title, planning, taxation, running costs and any intended commercial model before exchange. The estate may suit private equestrian living, rural tourism or an agricultural and hospitality project, subject to approvals and viability.
