Located just one hour south of Lisbon and 20 minutes from the historic city of Évora, Herdade da Saudade is a rare 300-hectare estate immersed in the quiet majesty of the Alentejo countryside. This extraordinary property merges ecological integrity, equestrian heritage, and visionary hospitality into a singular offering with immense potential. Originally restored by a nomadic family devoted to horses, the estate is now a fully licensed Ecological Agrotourism destination with the possibility to convert into a Rural Hotel. The property includes 419 sqm of built living space, with equestrian facilities spanning 446 m² and encompassing three horse training arenas, stables, and a tack room. Casa Equus, a 150 m² home, offers four generous suites and relaxed outdoor living. The unique Safari Cabañas Camp features eco-lodges with two bedrooms and one bathroom, designed for sustainable comfort. Social spaces bring the estate to life, with a 60 sqm open lounge, a 20 sqm bar, and a kitchen and BBQ area perfect for gatherings. Two swimming pools, including a round salted pool with a deck, invite relaxation amid the surrounding nature.
