Reference: PQPI-T3249. Exceptional Equestrian Estate on Portugal's Silver Coast - A Rare Opportunity Near Alcobaça, Nazaré and São Martinho do Porto Nestled in the heart of Portugal's beautiful Silver Coast, this exceptional country estate offers a unique blend of rural tranquillity, outstanding equestrian facilities and easy access to some of the region's most sought-after destinations. Located just minutes from the historic town of Alcobaça and the coastal gems of Nazaré and São Martinho do Porto, the property enjoys a privileged setting that combines privacy, nature and convenience. The estate can be acquired in two different configurations, making it suitable for a variety of lifestyles and investment objectives. Buyers may choose to purchase the main residence together with approximately 5,500 m² of land, or acquire the entire estate comprising nearly 19,000 m², including a fully operational equestrian facility with extensive infrastructure for horse breeding, training and boarding. Currently operating as a professional equestrian business, the facilities can be taken over immediately without additional investment, providing an excellent opportunity for those wishing to continue a commercial activity. Alternatively, the estate offers the perfect setting for private horse owners seeking a premium equestrian lifestyle in one of Portugal's most desirable regions. The equestrian complex has been carefully designed to provide comfort, functionality and year-round usability. It features twelve paddocks, including both grass paddocks and specially prepared gravel paddocks that remain mud-free during the wetter months. The paddocks are secured with a combination of electric and wooden fencing, ensuring both safety and durability. Four paddocks also benefit from individual shelters suitable for one or two horses. Accommodation for the horses includes eleven to twelve stables of varying sizes. Four boxes measure approximately 9 m², six boxes approximately 12 m², while a larger foaling box of around 20 m² can be divided into two separate units when required. All stables are equipped with automatic water drinkers for maximum convenience and animal welfare. Additional facilities include a spacious tack room, dedicated grooming areas for two horses, a horse wash bay with both hot and cold water, storage space suitable for hay, equipment or horse transport, a laundry area with washing machine facilities for rugs and stable equipment, and a separate toilet. One of the highlights of the property is the professional-standard riding arena measuring 20 x 60 metres to Olympic specifications. The arena is equipped with a modern ebb-and-flow irrigation system, ensuring consistently excellent footing throughout the year while significantly reducing maintenance requirements. The property benefits from two independent water sources, including a private well with its own pump system and a connection to the public water network. The current arrangement supplies the residence with public water while the equestrian facilities are serviced by the private well, providing both reliability and efficiency. Beyond the excellent equestrian infrastructure, the estate offers something that cannot be created or replicated: an extraordinary natural environment. Directly from the property, riders and walkers can access a network of scenic countryside trails that wind through rolling hills, orchards and peaceful rural landscapes. During springtime, when the surrounding fruit trees burst into blossom, the scenery becomes truly breathtaking. The countryside is transformed into a sea of colour and fragrance, creating an atmosphere that many describe as magical. It is the perfect setting for horse lovers who value not only first-class facilities but also a genuine connection with nature. Despite its peaceful rural location, the property remains exceptionally well connected. The A8 motorway is approximately ten minutes away, offering direct access to Lisbon
