Among properties for sale in Alentejo, this 14.45-hectare estate near Ourique offers two large licensed ruins for rebuilding and approximately 1.5 kilometres of private Lake Monte da Rocha waterfront. The asking price is €1,200,000, making it a substantial rural investment for buyers seeking land, water access and development potential. Both ruins are positioned alongside the lake on two plots with independent entrance gateways. Their licensed status provides a documented starting point for a future project, subject to planning approval, environmental restrictions and confirmation by the relevant authorities. The property lies within the National Ecological Reserve, making careful due diligence especially important. A licensed construction area of 314 m² is recorded across seven divisions. There is also a 248 m² agricultural building with five divisions. The estate’s fully equipped equestrian centre adds immediate practical value beyond the rebuilding opportunity. It contains approximately 900 m² of American Barn-style facilities with 11 concrete ring-beam loose boxes. A sand training school and internationally sized grass jumping arena are ready for equestrian use. Paddocks with field shelters, piped water and internal fencing support managed horse keeping. A grip room, workshop and horse cleaning areas improve the functionality of the complex. Around 400 olive trees contribute to the agricultural identity and possible productive income of the land. The perimeter is fully fenced, with a borehole and water piping distributed across the grounds. Photovoltaic equipment, a generator and septic tank are also listed, supporting a degree of independent rural operation. Wildlife can be observed in its natural habitat, adding to the appeal for nature-focused buyers. Ourique is approximately 6 kilometres away with schools, a local market and everyday commercial facilities. The estate is around 10 kilometres from Funcheira railway station and 62 kilometres from the South West Coast beaches. The licensed ruins could create opportunities for a private residence, guest accommodation or equestrian-related use, although permitted uses and financial feasibility must be verified.
