4 Bedrooms | 4 Bathrooms | 5+ Hectares | Private Pool | Fully Licensed


WHERE IS THIS?

This property is located in Ourique, a charming market town in the Beja District of the Alentejo region in southern Portugal. Alentejo is one of Portugal's most celebrated regions, known for its golden plains, cork oak forests, ancient hilltop villages, and an unhurried pace of life that draws families and nature lovers from across Europe. The Beja District is one of the least densely populated areas in the country, which means space, silence, and a quality of life that is increasingly hard to find. Despite its tranquillity, Ourique is a fully functioning town with everything a family needs day to day.


THE PROPERTY

Picture this: your kids playing freely across your own land, the dog nosing through the garden, and you, coffee in hand, absolutely nowhere to be. Eight minutes down the road, Ourique's cafés, supermarket, school, restaurants, and health centre are waiting whenever you need them. This is the sweet spot most families never find: total privacy without sacrifice.

This fully licensed, double-walled manor estate sits on over five hectares of beautifully curated private land, wild-boar-proof fenced, gated, and completely secure. The landscaped gardens wrap around a generous private pool, which opens directly into the grand living room through three sets of French doors. Vaulted Swedish pine ceiling beams, a stone fireplace, bespoke granite kitchen, and four large bedrooms, three with en-suite bathrooms, make this a home built to actually live in, not just admire.

A rare find in the Alentejo: fully legalised, fully fenced, and priced below its upgrades. A local farmer already tends the land, so it runs beautifully even when you are not there. The roof terrace, covered outbuildings, curated garden walks, and a pool-side social bathroom mean every corner of this property earns its place.


THE COASTLINE

Forget the crowded Algarve. This property sits within easy reach of the Costa Vicentina, one of Europe's last great unspoiled Atlantic coastlines and part of the Southwest Alentejo and Vicentine Coast Natural Park. This protected stretch of coast is home to dramatic cliffs, wide open beaches, and villages that have resisted mass tourism entirely. Vila Nova de Milfontes, one of the most loved coastal towns in Portugal, is just 50 minutes away. Santa Clara Lake, a vast inland reservoir perfect for swimming and kayaking, is 40 minutes from your door. This is the coast that people who know Portugal choose.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Is this property fully licensed and legal?
Yes. This is a rare fully licensed and legalised estate in the Alentejo region of Portugal. All documentation is in order, which is genuinely uncommon in rural areas of the Beja District.

Is it suitable as a permanent family home, or only a holiday property?
Both. The estate is insulated, double-walled, and built for year-round comfort. Ourique town is 8 minutes away and offers schools, healthcare, supermarkets, and daily amenities, making it highly practical as a primary residence for families relocating to Portugal.

How far is this estate from the coast?
The Costa Vicentina, one of Europe's most unspoiled Atlantic coastlines, is approximately 50 minutes away via Vila Nova de Milfontes. This protected natural park coastline is far less crowded than the Algarve and is considered by many to be among the finest coastal scenery in southern Europe.

Can the land be managed without the owners being present full-time?
Yes. A local farmer currently tends the land, providing a low-maintenance arrangement so the property looks after itself when you are not there. This makes it highly practical as a second home or holiday base.

What is the Alentejo region like to live in?
Alentejo is one of Portugal's most beloved regions, known for its vast plains, cork forests, traditional villages, excellent wine, and slow, warm way of life. The Beja District, where this property sits, is one of the most peaceful and spacious parts of the country. It attracts buyers looking to escape density and pace without losing access to modern amenities.

Does the property have investment or retreat potential?
Absolutely. The estate can accommodate 10 or more cars, has extensive outdoor entertainment areas, and carries a lifestyle profile well-suited to retreats, events, or agro-tourism, subject to local licensing.
