Investing in this fully fenced Alentejo estate could appeal to buyers seeking land, productive agriculture and established equestrian facilities in one purchase. The property is for sale near Ourique at €1,200,000 and covers 14.45 hectares beside Monte da Rocha Lake. Its combination of approximately 400 olive trees, two licensed ruins and a functioning equestrian complex gives the estate several potential value drivers. The olive plantation may provide agricultural output and an additional income stream, subject to management and market conditions. The equestrian infrastructure could support private use, training, livery or a specialist rural business, subject to any required permissions. Facilities include 11 loose boxes in an approximately 900 m² American Barn arrangement. There is also an internationally sized grass jumping arena for advanced riding and competition preparation. A sand riding training school broadens the property’s practical appeal for year-round schooling. Paddocks are interconnected and supplied with field shelters and piped water. The estate is fenced around its perimeter and internally divided for easier animal management. A workshop, grip room and horse-cleaning areas support everyday equestrian operations. Two independent entrance gateways offer operational flexibility across the two plots. The licensed construction area is 314 m² with seven licensed divisions, while a 248 m² agricultural building is also recorded. Two large licensed ruins offer scope for future redevelopment, subject to planning approval and the relevant nature protection rules. The land lies within the National Ecological Reserve, providing a protected setting but requiring careful compliance with environmental regulations. Lake frontage of approximately 1.5 km creates a distinctive lifestyle proposition and may strengthen the estate’s appeal to future guests or tenants. Ourique is only 6 km away, with schools, a local market and everyday commercial services. The location is also within 10 km of Funcheira Train Station and approximately 100 km from Faro International Airport. Rental income, equestrian revenue and olive production are possible investment considerations, although returns will depend on planning, operation and market performance.
