Investing in this fully fenced lakeside equestrian estate in Portugal means acquiring 14.45 hectares with approximately 1.5 kilometres of private waterfront on Lake Monte da Rocha. Priced at €1,200,000, the property combines established equestrian infrastructure, licensed ruins, agricultural land and an exceptional Alentejo setting. Its scale and diverse assets may appeal to buyers seeking lifestyle value alongside long-term investment potential. The equestrian complex includes 11 loose boxes in an American Barn configuration measuring approximately 900 square metres. A sand riding school and internationally sized grass jumping arena provide facilities for training, instruction or private use. Paddocks are linked by internal fencing and include field shelters and piped water. A workshop, grip room and horse cleaning areas make the estate functional for regular operations. The perimeter fencing offers a secure framework for horses and rural activities. Around 400 productive olive trees introduce an additional agricultural dimension to the investment. Two independent plots and separate entrance gateways could help organise different uses across the estate. Two large licensed ruins may offer scope for creating accommodation, a principal residence or other approved rural facilities. Their licensed status can provide an important starting point for a future redevelopment strategy, although purchasers must verify all conditions and permissions. The recorded licensed construction area is 314 square metres with seven divisions. There is also a 248-square-metre agricultural building with five divisions. The estate lies within the National Ecological Reserve, protecting its natural character while requiring careful compliance with environmental rules. Wildlife, open countryside and lake views create a strong setting for an exclusive rural retreat or equestrian destination. Ourique is 6 kilometres away and offers schools, a market and local commercial and social amenities. Funcheira Train Station is approximately 10 kilometres away, supporting connections beyond the immediate countryside. The South West Coast beaches are about 62 kilometres away, and Faro International Airport is roughly 100 kilometres from the property. The planned Alqueva Dam connection is intended to reinforce Monte da Rocha’s water resources and help maintain the reservoir at 70 percent. Potential income from equestrian services, rural accommodation or agricultural activity should be assessed through a professional feasibility study rather than assumed.
