90.000 sqm near Alqueva in Alentejo

9-hectare property, 90,000 sqm, near Reguengos de Monsaraz.

Access via paved road from Reguengos de Monsaraz to the property, 8 km away.

The property has enormous tourist potential, benefiting from existing infrastructure and tourism: golf, restaurants and famous Alentejo wines, hunting and fishing, hiking, horse riding, plane and helicopter rides, hot air balloon flights, boat trips on the Alqueva, mountain biking, houseboats, water sports, and water recreation ranging from shore fishing to boat fishing, sport fishing, and even competitive fishing. European Nature Destination and Sustainable Tourist Destination for Southern Europe were the two awards given by the World Luxury Travel Awards, recognising that astro-tourism is a product that captures the luxury market without altering its inclusive and sustainable base. These awards help to recognise and enhance the value of this destination and Portugal in this important market segment.

There are eight floating piers on the Alqueva reservoir. Two of them are next to the dam, and six are near riverside villages, which also serve to support navigation.

All these activities at the Alqueva Dam have something in common: contact with nature, with the fauna and flora of a unique and immense place.

The Alqueva Dam is a Portuguese arch dam located on the Guadiana River in the Alentejo region. It is possible to navigate the Guadiana River to Mértola, a village in Alentejo. This ‘journey’ covers a distance of about 68 km.

The Alqueva Dam, with a reservoir covering 250 km2 and more than 1,100 km of banks, is the largest artificial lake in Europe.
It covers five municipalities in the Alentejo: Portel, Moura, Reguengos de Monsaraz, Mourão and Alandroal.

The Alqueva reservoir has also created new possibilities for tourism development, now linking the Great Lake to a region that already has a long history, evident in its rich architectural, archaeological and cultural heritage.

The property is located two hours from Lisbon and its international airport, 40 minutes from Évora, whose historic centre has been classified as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, 10 minutes from the historic centre of Monsaraz, and 30 minutes from Badajoz, an important Spanish city for leisure and entertainment.
