This Portuguese rural property for sale offers two large licensed ruins beside the Monte da Rocha Reservoir, together with an established equestrian estate near Ourique. The asking price is €1,200,000 for 14.45 hectares positioned on a scenic peninsula with approximately 1.5 kilometres of private waterfront. The two ruins are located across two plots with independent entrance gateways and can be rebuilt subject to planning and environmental requirements. Their licensed construction area totals 314 square metres and includes seven licensed divisions. An existing agricultural building contributes a further 248 square metres and five divisions. The land is fully fenced and contains an equestrian complex with 11 loose boxes. The boxes are arranged in an American Barn configuration covering approximately 900 square metres. A sand training school and internationally sized grass jumping arena create immediate appeal for horse owners and specialist operators. Interlinked paddocks, field shelters and piped water support practical livestock management. The estate also has a workshop, grip room and internal and external horse washing areas. A productive olive grove of around 400 trees adds agricultural character and possible supplementary income. A borehole, photovoltaic system, generator and septic tank help support independent rural living and operations. The lakeside location provides wide countryside views and opportunities to enjoy a peaceful nature-based lifestyle. The property lies within the National Ecological Reserve, so buyers should obtain professional advice before planning alterations or new uses. The protected surroundings provide a habitat where different species can be observed in their natural environment.
