A budget of €1,995,000 is needed to buy this Portuguese rural tourism retreat with four bungalows and an infinity pool. Domain Du Lac is a 122-hectare estate in the Alentejo countryside between Almodôvar and Mértola. The purchase includes a three-bedroom modern house with an open-plan kitchen and living room. Its 9 by 4 metre saltwater infinity pool overlooks the private lake and creates a strong guest-facing lifestyle feature. Four independent bungalows provide extra accommodation for holidaymakers, families and organised groups. Each unit is approximately 40 square metres and includes a kitchen and private terrace. The bungalows have two- and three-bedroom configurations and are in the final licensing phase. A licensed 268 square metre pavilion accommodates approximately 150 people and supports events, retreats and group activities. Its professional kitchen, sound system, full-room screens and parking areas are already suited to hospitality use. A professional barbecue area can support large gatherings and catered experiences. The estate's private lake covers 50,000 square metres and offers fishing, canoeing, swimming and other water-based activities. A boat for aquatic sports is included, while a sandy beach provides an additional leisure attraction. Motorhome facilities may help the operator target touring visitors alongside bungalow guests. The enclosed grounds include hiking paths and areas suitable for motocross and mountain biking. Around 100,000 pine trees are developing towards an expected first pine-nut harvest in 2027. Solar water heating, photovoltaic equipment, two boreholes and water pipes throughout the property provide important rural infrastructure. The location is approximately 25 minutes from Mértola, Almodôvar and the Guadiana River. Algarve beaches and golf courses are roughly 60 minutes away, and Faro International Airport is around 80 minutes distant. Future visitor demand may benefit from approved regional tourism infrastructure, including the proposed Africa Safari Park Theme Park about 15 minutes away.
