Description
A Unique Equestrian Farm, Where Lifestyle Meets Equestrian Excellence
This is a truly unique property that combines the comfort of a high-quality residence with professional-level equestrian facilities, set in an environment of absolute tranquility, privacy, and natural beauty. What truly sets this property apart is its exceptional location: you can ride directly out from the farm and spend hours on safe rural tracks, without needing to transport the horses. Just about 20 minutes away is the Óbidos Lagoon, offering a rare combination of countryside and coast, virtually impossible to find in Portugal. For any rider or horse lover, this is one of the property’s greatest assets.
Designed specifically to meet the needs of the equestrian world, the farm offers ideal conditions for both enthusiasts and professionals. Thanks to the region’s mild climate and existing grazing areas, horses can remain outdoors and on pasture all year round, benefiting from excellent welfare conditions. The main house, the independent guest house, and the support buildings complement the equestrian infrastructure, making this property ideal as a permanent residence, private farm, small-scale equestrian center, rural tourism project, or boutique accommodation.
This is a property designed, above all, for those who truly live their passion for horses. Unlike a conventional home, where equestrian facilities are merely an add-on, here it is precisely the equestrian lifestyle that takes center stage. The ability to ride directly from the property for hours along safe paths, keep horses on pasture year-round, and enjoy professional facilities makes this farm an extremely rare opportunity on the Portuguese market. The quality of the housing complements this excellence, providing a perfect balance between comfort, functionality, and an authentic equestrian way of life.
