Monte do Barata

Monte do Barata is an exceptional 920-hectare estate in Portugal, combining a high-end residential compound with a fully equipped sporting and agricultural operation. The land is predominantly enclosed (860 hectares) with 2.50 m game fencing and features a diverse, gently rolling landscape of open plains and Mediterranean vegetation, with extensive areas of olive groves and cork oak. The property benefits from abundant water resources, including natural springs and multiple water points for wildlife, as well as four large reservoirs. Access is excellent via a 3.2 km paved private road from the main public road to the principal residence and the different farm buildings.

The estate offers strong agricultural potential, with approximately 120 hectares of olive groves, including 90 hectares under organic cultivation, currently producing 1,500 to 3,000 liters of organic olive oil per year and offering significant upside with professional management and selective irrigation. It also includes 6.5 hectares of irrigated organic almond trees and additional organic cultivation areas, making it well suited for a buyer seeking both lifestyle and productive rural value.

At the heart of the property stands a beautifully restored main residence dating back to 1903, renovated with high-quality modern materials while preserving its original character. The house offers generous living spaces with open views, a fully equipped Lacanche kitchen, and comfortable air-conditioned bedrooms. The outdoor area features a 14 x 5 meter swimming pool and a large exotic-wood terrace, designed for entertaining and relaxed country living. Additional independent guest bedrooms provide privacy for visiting family and friends.

The estate is completed by a series of high-quality auxiliary buildings including a large air-conditioned hunting reception lodge with bar and fireplace, further guest rooms, garages, workshops, and storage facilities supporting both agricultural and sporting use. Energy and services are well developed, with solar infrastructure covering the majority of annual needs, satellite TV, WiFi, on-site security systems and camera monitoring, and electric gates.

For sporting use, the property is particularly well equipped, with extensive internal tracks, multiple hunting towers and drive-hunt stands, and structured wildlife management infrastructure. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a large-scale Portuguese estate offering privacy, comfort, strong infrastructure, and genuine lifestyle and sporting appeal in a single holding.
