Yes, this 1920s, 20-room estate near Sousel is available to purchase for a complete Alentejo restoration at the listed price of €595,000. It includes 10 bedrooms, two floors and approximately 1,800 m² of living area on a 2.45-hectare plot. The property is intended for buyers who understand the scale of a major renovation and want to shape a historic Portuguese estate around their own plans. Its principal building has a footprint of more than 1,000 m² and retains traditional architectural character. The house was occupied by one family until 2018, giving the project an authentic residential history. Two bathrooms are currently recorded, so a comprehensive upgrade of utilities and accommodation facilities is likely to be required. The living room includes a fireplace, while a log burner adds another traditional feature. A rustic kitchen contributes to the period feel of the interior. The estate is accompanied by a 63.80 m² outbuilding with a kitchen and two rooms. A service corridor leads towards a small first-floor terrace and another outbuilding. Further covered structures comprise an 85 m² shed and a 113.80 m² barn. This collection of buildings creates opportunities for workshops, storage, guest rooms or complementary rural uses, subject to approvals. The private, fenced and walled grounds offer room for gardens, leisure areas or carefully planned hospitality facilities. A well and cistern provide existing water-related infrastructure to investigate as part of the renovation strategy. The nearby village supports practical day-to-day living and local connectivity. Estremoz is about 20 km away, with its services, heritage and established Alentejo tourism appeal. Évora is approximately 45 minutes by car, and Lisbon is around two hours away. The Spanish border is also within roughly 45 minutes, broadening the location's regional accessibility. The estate could ultimately become a large family home, guest house or rural retreat, but buyers should obtain professional advice on costs, permissions and licensing before proceeding.

This property was built in the 1920s and has been occupied by the same family until 2018. The main building has a footprint of more than 1000m2 but it is in need of a lot of renovation. It is ideal for a big generation family or an investor to convert it into a beautiful running guest house.

The property also has outbuildings:
Connected to an outbuilding of 63,80 m2 adjacent to the house, also with one floor, with a kitchen and two rooms. There is also a service corridor that leads to a small terrace on the first floor and to another outbuilding.

There is also a shed of 85 m2 and a barn of 113,80 m2.
