Priced at €849,000, it sits on 63,000 m² near Ourique in a protected natural setting. The four-bedroom residence provides 249 m² of living space, with a private 2,500 m² lake and swimming area.

An office or study supports working from home without compromising the main living areas. Additional rooms include a pantry, laundry area, storage spaces, a mezzanine and a sauna.

The private lake can provide a rare recreational feature for swimming and relaxing beside the water. Comfort systems include underfloor heating throughout, wall heating, air conditioning and an integrated fireplace. Double glazing and fly screens further enhance the home’s practical year-round specification. Solar panels, a heat pump, a borehole, a well and an emergency generator support everyday resilience. Ourique is only 11 km away and provides shops, restaurants, schools and hospital services. The Costa Vicentina, Santa Clara Dam river beach and the Algarve coast are all accessible for day trips. The property could suit a permanent home, secluded second residence or carefully planned holiday rental investment, subject to legal and financial due diligence.
