This 249 m² luxury rural retreat on 6.3 hectares in the Alentejo is offered for sale at £849,000. The asking price provides entry to a contemporary four-bedroom residence near Ourique, surrounded by protected nature and complete privacy. Buyers receive a substantial country property with a private 2,500 m² lake and swimming area. The house was built in 2011 and offers 285 m² of usable area. Its design places three bedrooms, the kitchen, dining area, office and support rooms on the ground floor. Two of the bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms, creating comfortable accommodation for owners and guests. Upstairs, the elegant living room captures panoramic views across the water and Alentejo hills. A generous terrace extends the main living space outdoors. The fully fitted kitchen includes modern appliances and direct patio access. Thermal insulation, double glazing and fly screens contribute to everyday comfort and efficiency. Heating is provided through underfloor systems, wall heating and a heat pump, with an integrated fireplace for additional ambience. Air conditioning offers further flexibility during warmer periods. Mature gardens contain fruit trees, old olive trees and landscaped areas with automatic irrigation. The barbecue area and terraces make outdoor dining particularly attractive in the region’s sunny climate. Five vehicles can be kept under cover in the carport. A technical outbuilding, storage rooms, solar panels and an emergency generator add practical value. The property also benefits from a well, water filter, hot-water storage and connection to the public electricity grid. Ourique is 11 km away with supermarkets, restaurants, schools and a hospital. Coastal destinations include Costa Vicentina at around 60 km, the Algarve coast at 75 km and Faro International Airport at 100 km. For buyers assessing investment potential, the secluded setting and distinctive lake amenity may support premium private holiday use or rental demand, although income and ROI would depend on management, seasonality and local permissions.
