This incredible 15-hectare (37 acres) estate is situated on a peninsular jutting out into the Barragem Monte da Rocha lake. Here reigns peace and tranquillity in an area of outstanding natural beauty, protected, as the surrounding countryside is designated a natural reserve. Let’s go through just what’s on offer: A three bed fully modernised villa finished to the highest standards with pool, situated at the highest point of the property overlooking the lake. A well equipped equestrian centre with a modern stable block A productive olive grove Extensive grounds sloping down to the lake with 1.5km of shoreline 5 separate ruins offering numerous possibilities The main house ’O Lago Vista’ was rebuilt in 1999, with modern construction techniques. This included extensive insulation and double glazing (rated C) and has a construction area of 310 Sq.m. It is finished to the highest standards, and set in its own private and fenced plot of around 1 hectare of mature, sub-tropical, low maintenance gardens. The house has a large lounge with patio doors to the veranda, a dining room with patio doors to the veranda, leading on to the wonderful central kitchen, the hub of the house. This features an amazing woodburning fire with back boiler for hot water which also has cooking facilities. The kitchen flows into a delightful summer room where you can sit and look out at the panoramic views and lake. From the kitchen a corridor leads to the rear of the house where we find 3 bedrooms, all ensuite. The master bedroom is absolutely huge with separate seating and dressing area. A spacious veranda extends around two sides of the house overlooking the lake, gardens and 12 x 6m pool. Outside we also find a carport, a hard surface football or tennis pitch and a solar array.

The surrounding land gives access to miles of trekking opportunities. If horses are not your thing the stable block is a modern steel frame construction which can easily be adapted to other uses. The operating centre for leisure activities, a yoga or well being centre /retreat. Art centre, music studios, endless possibilities subject to permissions. With low light pollution add star gazing to that list! The environment is both beautiful and serene. The olive grove is very productive giving very high quality extra virgin olive oil, the land is to organic standards. The grounds flow down to the lake and it’s so beautiful. This lake provides drinking water for the community, as a result motorised craft are not permitted (unless electric powered) but canoeing, windsurfing, sailing, rowing and fishing most certainly are. The estate has private access to the lake. Public access is on the other side of the lake which is a considerable distance away so you have it more or less to yourself. As the lake level falls you have access to much more land, perfect for grazing or exercising horses. The ruins, 3 are adjacent to the house in an elevated position with superb views over the lake .
