The lakeside horse property near Ourique with a 12-box stable block is this substantial Alentejo estate, offered for sale at €1,800,000. It combines a 420 m² three-bedroom country house with 150,000 m² of land beside the lake. The stable complex includes 12 boxes, a grip room and an Olympic-size sand arena for equestrian training or business use. Fenced paddocks connect directly with approximately 1.5 km of private waterfront. The main residence has three bedrooms, all with en-suite bathrooms. It is arranged on one level and designed with a semi-open-plan living space. A covered terrace on two sides provides a sheltered place to dine, relax and enjoy the lake views. The landscaped garden is mature and designed for relatively low maintenance. A 12 x 6 metre swimming pool overlooks the water and complements the outdoor lifestyle. The property also includes a private tennis court for recreation. Olive groves and open countryside surround the home and paddocks. Two large ruins could be recovered for additional accommodation, storage or other approved uses. The independent position of the house allows flexibility between personal occupation and commercial development. Potential uses include a private equestrian base, rural retreat, agricultural holding or rural tourism project. The organic-standard olive trees could contribute to future farm income, subject to production and market conditions. Three boreholes serve the house, stables and an area close to the ruins. Photovoltaic panels with battery storage help meet electricity needs, while solar panels and a wood burner support hot-water production. Ourique is just 6 km away with amenities and a hospital. Funcheira train station is approximately 10 km away, and Faro Airport is around 100 km from the estate. Contact us today to arrange a viewing of this distinctive lakeside horse property in Portugal.
