A 75,000 m² country property near Ourique currently costs €849,000. For this price, buyers acquire a renovated four-bedroom country house, a private 10 x 5 metre swimming pool and extensive fenced land. The property offers a substantial rural base in southern Alentejo with scope for lifestyle use, farming or future tourism development. The house provides 233 m² of living area and approximately 400 m² of total construction. Its single-storey layout includes four bedrooms and four bathrooms. Three bedrooms have en-suite facilities, complemented by a family bathroom. Recent renovation work carried out in 2024 and 2026 adds immediate appeal for buyers seeking a usable home rather than a complete restoration project. The open-plan living kitchen welcomes everyday family life and entertaining. A conservatory extends the lounge and makes the most of the elevated position and wide countryside views. Air conditioning throughout, electric heating and a wood burner provide comfort across the seasons. The kitchen is fully equipped and benefits from an adjacent pantry. Outside, the covered BBQ kitchen has a fridge, worktop and hot and cold water supply. The fenced plot includes landscaped garden areas, fruit trees and cork trees. A separate 76 m² storage building provides room for cars, machinery, equipment or agricultural produce. The land could suit horses, livestock and agricultural activities, subject to applicable regulations. Solar power, mains electricity, a borehole and a large septic tank add useful infrastructure to the rural setting. Ourique town lies approximately 10 kilometres away and offers amenities, restaurants, a hospital and everyday services. A nearby bar is about 1.5 kilometres away, while three restaurants and a coffee bar are around 4 kilometres from the property. Investors can also investigate rural tourism or other tourism-related projects, subject to planning approval and an appropriate proposal.

This is a perfect, well maintained country retreat, but not far from a town, the reservoir, lakes and rivers, the Algarve, West Coast or the historic town of Beja and Évora! The single storey country house with 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms is located in an elevated position with panoramic views to the natural Alentejo countryside. From a small tarmac road there is a 1km dirt track giving access to the property which leads to an inner courtyard with many parking spaces, a second building of 76m² for storage, harvest, equipment or cars. The property has been recently renovated. One of the bedrooms was converted into a big, modern office. This place is ideal for a large family or holiday home, to rent out and for nature lovers, livestock, horses and agriculture. There is plenty of space for various ideas and events.
There is potential for further development, particularly in the area of rural tourism (TER) and other tourism-related projects, such as a caravan park, subject to the usual planning and approval processes.
