Buyers seeking a secluded lakeside guesthouse with solar panels near the Algarve can consider this €2,950,000 estate in Santa Clara-a-Velha, Odemira. The property lies beside the Mira River dam in southern Alentejo, while Faro and the Algarve are approximately 103 kilometres away. It combines 16 bedrooms, 12 bathrooms, 441 m² of living area and 575,000 m² of private land. Solar panels and a generator help provide energy autonomy in the peaceful rural surroundings. The estate also benefits from its own lake and beach access, offering a strong lifestyle advantage. Visitors can enjoy nature, water-based activities and the calm atmosphere of a completely secluded location. A main guesthouse with outbuildings gives the property versatility for personal use or visitor accommodation. Two large reception sitting rooms create comfortable spaces for socialising, dining and organised gatherings. The professional kitchen could support hosted stays, retreats and healthy-food experiences. Dam water is used for irrigation and filtered for domestic use. Storage facilities and maintenance workshops add practical value for managing the grounds. A log burner offers an inviting feature for cooler evenings and out-of-season stays. The surrounding scenery includes rolling hills, valleys and abundant local fauna and flora. Wellness-oriented uses may include yoga, sauna and massage treatments. Organic vegetables could complement a nature and wellbeing business model. The large bedroom count allows for family accommodation, group holidays or a boutique retreat concept. Rental and tourism potential may be attractive, although income and ROI would depend on business planning, occupancy, operating costs and permissions. The nearest train station is about 16 kilometres away, with daily connections to Lisbon and Faro. Atlantic beaches are around 52 kilometres from the property, and Lisbon is approximately 215 kilometres away.
