For an equestrian lifestyle with private Lake Monte da Rocha waterfront, this Alentejo country estate is offered for sale at €1,200,000. It extends across 14.45 hectares and includes around 1.5 kilometres of private lake frontage. The property is positioned on a peaceful peninsula near Ourique, combining horse facilities, agricultural land and nature-led living. Eleven loose boxes are arranged in a concrete ring beam American Barn configuration covering approximately 900 square metres. Riders have access to a sand training school and an internationally sized grass jumping arena. Interlinked paddocks include field shelters, internal fencing and piped water. The estate also provides a grip room, workshop and horse cleaning facilities inside and outside. Full perimeter fencing helps support a safe and manageable environment for horses. Two independent entrance gateways serve the separate plots. Alongside the equestrian infrastructure are two large licensed ruins beside the lake. These structures can be rebuilt, subject to planning requirements and the regulations governing the protected setting. The property records 314 square metres of licensed construction area and seven licensed divisions. Its agricultural building measures approximately 248 square metres and is divided into five sections. Around 400 olive trees form a productive plantation and reinforce the traditional Alentejo character. A borehole and water pipes assist with land management and animal care. Photovoltaic equipment, a generator and septic tank provide useful off-grid and rural infrastructure. The National Ecological Reserve setting protects a landscape rich in open views and natural habitats. Ourique is only about 6 kilometres away for schools, markets, shops and social amenities. Funcheira Train Station lies roughly 10 kilometres from the estate, making regional travel more convenient. South West Coast beaches are about 62 kilometres away, and Faro International Airport is approximately 100 kilometres distant. The combination of lake access and established facilities could suit private ownership, equestrian sport or carefully planned rural tourism, with investment returns dependent on permissions and market conditions.
