Investors can find this fully fenced equestrian complex for sale near Ourique in Portugal, offered at €1,200,000 with approximately 1.5 kilometres of private Monte da Rocha waterfront. The 14.45-hectare estate provides a substantial landholding for an equestrian, rural tourism or lifestyle-led investment concept, subject to planning and licensing. Its location on a picturesque lake peninsula gives the property a distinctive point of difference in the Portuguese market. Two independent plots and separate entrance gateways may assist with access and future management. The existing horse facilities include 11 loose boxes in an American Barn configuration. The stable buildings cover approximately 900 square metres. A sand riding training school and internationally sized grass jumping arena provide specialist infrastructure that would be costly to recreate. Interconnected fenced paddocks allow horses and land to be managed in a structured way. Field shelters and piped water are already distributed through the paddock areas. The estate also contains a grip room, workshop and dedicated horse cleaning spaces inside and outside. Around 400 productive olive trees add an agricultural asset to the equestrian operation. The two large licensed ruins beside the lake offer scope for a carefully planned redevelopment project. The licensed construction allowance is 314 square metres with seven divisions, while the agricultural building has approximately 248 square metres and five divisions. Potential rental, retreat or equestrian revenue should be independently modelled and confirmed with the relevant authorities before purchase. The property lies within the National Ecological Reserve, so environmental controls are an important part of any investment due diligence. A borehole, septic tank, generator and photovoltaic system support the estate’s rural infrastructure. The water network includes piping along the property, while perimeter fencing enhances security and operational control. Ourique is approximately 6 kilometres away and provides schools, a market and local commercial and social amenities.
