This rural property in Portugal offers two large licensed ruins beside Monte da Rocha reservoir, together with 14.45 hectares of equestrian and agricultural land. The estate is offered for €1,200,000 and sits on a picturesque peninsula near Ourique in the Alentejo. Buyers looking for rebuildable licensed ruins with waterfront access will also find approximately 1.5 kilometres of private lake frontage. The land is arranged in two plots with separate entrance gateways. Both ruins may be rebuilt subject to planning approval, applicable licences and National Ecological Reserve regulations. The stated licensed construction area totals 314 square metres and includes seven licensed divisions. A 248-square-metre agricultural building with five divisions is also included in the property description. An established olive grove of around 400 trees provides an attractive agricultural feature and potential long-term productivity. The estate is fully fenced, with internal paddocks connected by field shelters and piped water. Equestrian facilities include 11 loose boxes in an American Barn configuration covering approximately 900 square metres. A sand training school and internationally sized grass jumping arena make the property suitable for serious riding and horse management. There is also a workshop, grip room and interior and exterior horse-cleaning areas. A borehole supplies water, while the listed infrastructure includes a septic tank, generator and photovoltaic system. The lake setting delivers wide open views and opportunities to enjoy a private rural lifestyle. The surrounding area supports nature watching, with several species observed in their natural habitat. The connection between the Alqueva Dam and Monte da Rocha reservoir was scheduled to reinforce regional water resources and help maintain the lake level at 70 percent. Buyers should verify the current status and practical impact of that project before relying on future water conditions. Ourique, with schools, a local market and commercial amenities, is approximately 6 kilometres away. Funcheira Train Station is about 10 kilometres away, and the South West Coast beaches are within approximately 62 kilometres. Faro International Airport is roughly 100 kilometres from the estate. The licensed ruins could support a bespoke home, guest accommodation or another approved rural project, although returns are not guaranteed and require professional assessment.
