Set in the heart of the Baixo Alentejo, this exceptional 93.5-hectare estate offers a rare combination of scale, privacy, existing equestrian infrastructure, and the potential to be transformed into a truly outstanding private horse property.

With a quality-built Alentejo farmhouse, panoramic views, established cork oak woodland, permanent pasture, water support, and existing stables, this is a property with all the foundations in place for a buyer who wants to refine, modernise, and create a bespoke equestrian lifestyle estate in Portugal.

This is not a finished luxury equestrian estate in the conventional sense. It is something more interesting: a substantial rural holding with genuine character and excellent raw ingredients, ready to be updated into a personal equestrian retreat, breeding farm, training base, or countryside residence with horses at its heart.

The Residence

Built in 2006 with high construction quality, the main house offers approximately 366 m² and enjoys open panoramic views across the estate and surrounding countryside.

The current layout includes:

• A spacious living room with fireplace of approximately 35 m², with high ceilings and direct connection to the garden, porch, and outdoor entertaining areas

• A dining room of approximately 26 m², connected to the main living area

• A principal suite with full bathroom, wardrobe, and mezzanine space

• Two further en-suite bedrooms

• Two additional bedrooms, including one with a large mezzanine

• A full family bathroom

• Equipped kitchen with pantry/storage

• Air conditioning throughout

Outside, the house benefits from:

• Swimming pool

• Covered garage for 3 cars

• Open views over the estate

The house is already highly livable, but it also offers clear scope for an investor or private buyer to refresh interiors, enhance outdoor entertaining areas, and create a more contemporary luxury equestrian residence.

Existing Equestrian Infrastructure

One of the most attractive aspects of the property is that it already includes core horse facilities, allowing the next owner to build from an existing base rather than starting from zero.

The estate currently offers:

• Horse barn with 5 boxes

• Tack room

• Kennels

• Extensive grazing and support land

For the right buyer, this presents an exciting opportunity to modernise and expand the equestrian side of the estate according to their own vision.

Possible improvements could include:

• Upgrading the stable block

• Creating new paddocks and post-and-rail divisions

• Adding a riding arena or lunging ring

• Improving access and circulation for horse transport

• Building covered grooming and wash bays

• Creating staff accommodation or rider support areas, subject to permissions

• Establishing the estate as a private equestrian retreat or training base

This is the type of property where a thoughtful buyer can create a tailor-made equestrian environment, rather than paying a premium for someone else’s finished vision.

The Land

The estate has a total area of 93.5 hectares, giving it meaningful scale and long-term potential.

The land is composed of:

• Approximately 56.4 hectares of cork oak plantation

• Around 17.5 hectares of permanent pasture

• Approximately 14 hectares of natural grazing

• Around 2 hectares of stone pine plantation

• A pond / water support area serving the pastureland

This land composition is especially attractive from an equestrian perspective because it offers:

• Substantial room for paddocks and horse rotation

• Natural grazing areas

• Privacy and separation from neighbouring properties

• A classic Alentejo landscape with long views and open riding potential

• The possibility to create a more structured equestrian estate over time

The cork oak woodland also gives the property an unmistakably Portuguese identity and long-term rural value.

A Property with Vision

What makes this estate particularly compelling is the potential to reposition it into something truly special.

For a buyer with imagination and a clear equestrian vision, this could become:

• A private horse estate for family use

• A lifestyle farm with upgraded equestrian facilities

• A boutique equestrian retreat

• A breeding or training property

• A modernised Alentejo farmhouse with horses, dogs, and countryside living at its core

There is already enough here to enjoy immediately, but the real value lies in what the property could become with the right investment and design improvements.

Location

The property is located in the União de Freguesias de Garvão e Santa Luzia, near the border between the municipalities of Ourique and Odemira, in the Beja district.

It benefits from direct access from the EN263, which is a significant advantage for a rural estate of this size.

Approximate distances include:

• Ourique – 20 km

• Odemira – 30 km

• Aljustrel – 30 km

• Castro Verde – 35 km

This strategic position gives the estate easy access to local urban centres while still preserving the privacy and scale expected from a proper Alentejo holding.

The Setting

This is classic Baixo Alentejo countryside — open, rural, and deeply connected to the landscape.

The area sits in a transitional zone between the Alentejo plains and the more dramatic topography that rises southward toward Monchique. The result is a landscape that feels open and expansive, yet more visually dynamic than the flatter areas further north.

The local climate is Mediterranean, with:

• Mild, relatively dry winters

• Very hot, dry summers

• Strong sunlight for most of the year

For equestrian and rural lifestyle buyers, this region offers authenticity, privacy, and space — all increasingly difficult to find in more built-up parts of Portugal.

Why This Property Stands Out

This estate is especially appealing because it already combines:

• A substantial and comfortable farmhouse

• Existing horse infrastructure

• Large-scale landholding

• Permanent pasture and natural grazing

• Water support

• Good road access

• The possibility to modernise into a far more valuable equestrian property

For the right buyer, this is a chance to acquire a property with real substance and future upside, rather than simply buying a finished product at full premium value.

Immo Lusitania Perspective

At Immo Lusitania, we see growing demand from international buyers looking for equestrian properties in Portugal — especially estates with enough scale and flexibility to be reshaped into something more personal and distinctive.

This property is particularly interesting because it offers the space, infrastructure, and authenticity to become a true equestrian haven, while still leaving room for a new owner to add value through modernisation and refinement.

For a buyer looking to create a personal horse property in the Alentejo, this is exactly the kind of estate worth exploring.
