A three-bedroom country house with 15 hectares in the Alentejo is currently for sale at €1,800,000. Located near Ourique, the property combines a 420m² renovated home with a lake, equestrian facilities and productive rural land. It offers a substantial lifestyle and business opportunity for buyers seeking a private country estate in southern Portugal. The single-storey house contains three bedrooms, each with an en-suite bathroom. Its semi-open-plan layout connects comfortably with a large covered outdoor terrace. Views extend across the landscaped garden, 12 x 6m swimming pool and lake beyond. The bedrooms look towards the countryside, olive grove and fenced paddocks. A 12-box stable block includes a grip room and an Olympic-size sand arena. The equestrian area is supported by fenced paddocks and direct access to approximately 1.5km of private waterfront. The grounds also include a tennis court, mature gardens and organic-standard olive trees. Two large ruins could potentially be recovered, creating scope for additional accommodation or other uses subject to the relevant permissions. Photovoltaic panels and a battery bank help provide electricity for the home. Solar panels and a wood burner with a back boiler contribute to hot-water provision. Three boreholes serve the house, stables and an area close to the ruins. These features make the estate particularly attractive to buyers interested in a more self-sufficient rural lifestyle. The property could work as a family residence while the wider land supports equestrian activities, rural tourism or agricultural use. Rental accommodation or a retreat concept may also be considered, subject to planning and licensing requirements. Ourique is only 6km away and provides everyday facilities, including a hospital.
