An exceptional equestrian property for sale in the Alentejo with private lake access and fenced paddocks is available near Ourique. Priced at €1,800,000, the estate combines a 3-bedroom country house with extensive land and professional horse facilities. Buyers looking for a lakeside equestrian centre in southern Portugal can access approximately 1.5km of private waterfront from the paddocks. The property occupies roughly 150,000m² in a peaceful countryside setting. The renovated home measures approximately 420m² and is arranged over one level. Each of the three bedrooms has its own en-suite bathroom. A semi-open-plan interior opens onto a broad covered terrace overlooking the garden, pool and lake. Horses are catered for by a 12-box stable block and a dedicated grip room. The Olympic-size sand arena provides space for structured training and schooling. Fenced paddocks make daily horse management practical and secure. The grounds also include a private 12m by 6m swimming pool. A tennis court offers an additional leisure facility for residents and visitors. Lake and countryside views create a distinctive setting for an equestrian lifestyle. Organic-standard olive groves add an agricultural dimension to the holding. The main house can remain independent from the wider land, allowing flexible use of the estate. An owner could live in the house while developing rental, retreat or rural tourism activities, subject to permissions. Two large ruins offer scope for future restoration or additional accommodation potential, subject to planning consent. Photovoltaic panels, battery storage, solar hot water and three boreholes support the property's self-sufficient character. Ourique, with its amenities and hospital, is only about 6km away.
