Buying this 150,000 m² Alentejo estate gives purchasers a rare combination of a comfortable home, equestrian infrastructure, olive groves and private lakeside access. The property is available near Ourique for €1,800,000 and includes a renovated 420 m² country house. A 12-box stable block, grip room and Olympic-size sand arena are ready for serious equestrian use. Fenced paddocks provide space for horses and support the practical management of the land. From the paddocks, owners can reach approximately 1.5 km of private waterfront. The estate also has a 12 x 6 metre swimming pool and a private tennis court. Inside, the single-storey house offers three bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms. Its semi-open-plan living arrangement opens to a large covered terrace on two sides. The terrace overlooks a low-maintenance mature garden, pool and lake. Bedrooms at the rear enjoy views across the countryside, olive trees and paddocks. Two sizeable ruins create an opportunity for future restoration, depending on planning permissions. Because the residence is independent of the broader landholding, the estate can be used in several different ways. A purchaser could retain it as a private family home while operating agricultural or equestrian activities elsewhere on the land. Alternatively, the setting could suit rural tourism, retreats, guest accommodation or a specialist horse business. The organic-standard olive groves may provide a valuable agricultural income opportunity over time. Self-sufficiency is supported by photovoltaic panels, battery storage, solar hot water and a wood burner with back boiler. Three boreholes supply the house, stables and a location near the ruins. Ourique is roughly 6 km away and offers everyday facilities, including a hospital. Funcheira station is about 10 km away, with high-speed trains to cities, and Faro Airport is approximately 100 km distant.
