Buyers can purchase a renovated four-bedroom country house with a private pool in the Alentejo through this available property near Ourique. Priced at €849,000, it combines a 233 m² single-storey home with a fenced 75,000 m² plot. The 10 x 5 metre private swimming pool, landscaped garden and panoramic southern views create an appealing rural retreat. Renovated in 2024 and 2026, the bungalow-style house is ready for comfortable use as a permanent residence or holiday home. Four bedrooms provide generous accommodation for family members and guests. Three bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms, while a fourth family bathroom serves the rest of the home. One bedroom has been converted into a spacious, modern office for remote work or business use.

The single storey country house with 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms is located in an elevated position with panoramic views to the natural Alentejo countryside. From a small tarmac road there is a 1km dirt track giving access to the property which leads to an inner courtyard with many parking spaces, a second building of 76m² for storage, harvest, equipment or cars. The property has been recently renovated. One of the bedrooms was converted into a big, modern office. This place is ideal for a large family or holiday home, to rent out and for nature lovers, livestock, horses and agriculture. There is plenty of space for various ideas and events.
There is potential for further development, particularly in the area of rural tourism (TER) and other tourism-related projects, such as a caravan park, subject to the usual planning and approval processes.
