Dehesa Estate Mit Cortijo Am Ufer Des Alqueva Sees

In a setting of extraordinary natural beauty, beside the largest artificial lake in Western Europe, lies this magnificent 80-hectare estate, boasting over 4 kilometers of private shoreline along Lake Alqueva. A truly unique property that blends nature, history, exclusivity, and endless possibilities of use.

Just two kilometers from the village of Cheles and twenty minutes from the monumental town of Olivenza, the estate offers an atmosphere of absolute privacy, surrounded by centuries-old holm oaks, native wildlife, and an exceptional ornithological environment for observing aquatic and riverside birdlife. The proximity of charming Portuguese towns such as Mourão and Monsaraz—accessible even by navigating the lake—further enhances its international appeal.

At the heart of the estate rises a historic cortijo of more than 1,000 m², built in 1915 and recently restored with exquisite taste, preserving all the character of traditional architecture while incorporating modern comfort.

The main residence features expansive living rooms with fireplaces, a grand kitchen-dining area, nine elegant bedrooms distributed over two floors, and spaces designed both for family life and for hosting guests.

The property also includes:

- A fully equipped independent guest house.

- A reception and events hall with direct access to a porch and swimming pool.

- A 250 m² central courtyard, with summer dining area and landscaped zones.

- A wine cellar, games room, swimming pool, and stables.

- Boiler room, water tank, potable water well, and all modern amenities: electricity, heating, telephone, and internet.

Its strategic location—just one hour from Badajoz airport and two hours from Lisbon—makes it the ideal estate, whether as an exclusive private residence, a family retreat, or a high-end agrotourism project.

More than a property, this estate is an invitation to experience life in its fullest expression: the serenity of nature, the legacy of history, and the privilege of owning an irreplaceable landscape at the very heart of Alqueva.

An unrepeatable opportunity to enjoy the beauty of Alentejo and Extremadura from a truly unique and incomparable property
