Investing in this fully fenced Alentejo equestrian estate could appeal to buyers seeking operational horse facilities, substantial land and redevelopment potential. The property is offered for sale at €1,200,000 near Ourique and includes two licensed ruins beside Monte da Rocha Lake. Its approximately 1.5 km of private waterfront gives the estate a rare lifestyle and landholding advantage. The total area is approximately 14.45 hectares across two plots with independent entrances. A working equestrian layout is already in place, reducing the need to create core facilities from an undeveloped site. Eleven loose boxes are arranged in an American Barn configuration covering approximately 900 m². The sand training school supports schooling, exercise and professional horse management. An internationally sized grass jumping arena may suit advanced training or carefully managed equestrian activities. Fenced paddocks are connected internally and include field shelters. Piped water, a borehole and horse cleaning areas improve the everyday practicality of the operation. A workshop and grip room provide additional support for maintenance and equestrian use. The olive grove contains around 400 trees and adds an agricultural dimension to the investment. Two licensed ruins offer future project potential within the existing planning framework, subject to confirmation by the relevant authorities. The licensed construction area is 314 m² with seven licensed divisions. There is also a 248 m² agricultural building, providing useful existing accommodation for rural operations. The property sits within the National Ecological Reserve, so any redevelopment or commercial plans should be assessed against applicable environmental regulations. Rural tourism, equestrian use, agricultural activity or a private lifestyle retreat could all be considered, although future income and permissions require independent evaluation. Ourique is 6 km away with schools, a local market and everyday services, while medical facilities are available in the wider area.
