Magnificent 1.78 Hectare Estate in Alenquer: Opportunity for Rural Tourism or Equestrian Retreat

Located in the Union of Parishes of Carregado and Cadafais, in the heart of the prestigious Alenquer wine region, this exceptional property offers the perfect balance between traditional Portuguese charm and vast development potential. With an impressive total area of 17,831 m² — comprising a rustic area of 16,802 m² and an urban area of 1,029 m² and 459 m² of built footprint — this estate is a blank canvas for visionary investors or individuals seeking an exclusive lifestyle.

The Main Residence: Charm and Authenticity

The single-storey main house, of traditional design, was conceived to offer comfort while preserving rustic character. It features a spacious living room with impressive cathedral-style ceilings and dark wooden beams. The residence comprises a rustic kitchen and seven rooms including 3 bedrooms, 1 living room, 1 large office, a gymnasium, and a fabulous winter garden/marquee with panoramic views.

Outside, a picturesque covered porch extends the living area, flanked by a garden with some fruit trees and a generous courtyard.

The Investment Potential (Rural Tourism)

For the investment market, the property possesses a differentiator of enormous value: according to Alenquer Municipal Council, there is building potential for Rural Tourism up to 20% of the total rustic area. This translates into the possibility of developing over 3,500 m² of tourism infrastructure. The land is ideal for charming bungalows, luxury glamping units, or a boutique rural hotel, 30 minutes from Lisbon and with easy access to the A1 motorway.

For those seeking a life project, the more than 1.6 hectares of contiguous rustic area offer an idyllic setting for a small equestrian estate, with abundant space for stables, riding arenas, and pastures. Alternatively, it invites the development of personal agricultural projects, such as a small vineyard or organic farming.
