For buyers searching for a Portuguese property with extensive land, paddocks, a swimming pool and an Olympic-size sand arena, this Alentejo estate is a compelling option. The property is for sale near Ourique for €1,800,000 and combines a 420 m² country house with 150,000 m² of land. Its equestrian facilities include fenced paddocks, a 12-box stable block, a grip room and the large sand arena. The renovated single-storey home provides three bedrooms and three en-suite bathrooms. A 12 x 6 metre swimming pool sits within the mature landscaped garden. There is also a private tennis court for recreation and outdoor entertaining. The covered terrace runs along two sides of the home and overlooks the pool and lake. A semi-open-plan arrangement creates a comfortable connection between the kitchen, living and dining areas. Countryside views continue towards the olive groves and horse paddocks behind the bedrooms. Direct access from the paddocks leads to roughly 1.5 km of private waterfront. Two substantial ruins could potentially be restored to create further accommodation or useful outbuildings, subject to approval. The main residence is independent of the wider landholding, allowing owners to live at the property while developing other uses. Possible plans include keeping horses for pleasure, establishing an equestrian business or creating a countryside retreat. Rural tourism and agricultural activities may also be considered by purchasers after checking planning and licensing requirements. Organic-standard olive groves could contribute to the estate’s long-term income potential. Energy infrastructure includes photovoltaic panels, battery storage, solar hot water and a wood burner with back boiler. Three boreholes serve different parts of the property and support its self-sufficient rural character. Ourique, with everyday amenities and a hospital, is approximately 6 km away. Funcheira railway station is 10 km away, while Faro Airport is about 100 km distant. Contact us to explore this versatile land and equestrian property for sale in Portugal.
