This 1,986 m² renovation and investment project in Alentejo is listed for €4,000,000. The price includes the country estate and its approved project, but construction costs are not included. Buyers looking for a substantial commercial property with 82,033 m² of fenced land near Mértola should consider this development opportunity. The estate has 1,986 m² of pure living area and construction area. Its 30 rooms are distributed across a main house, guest accommodation, service spaces and several outbuildings. The approved plans propose 18 high-quality suites, an owner’s apartment and a 450 m² covered service centre. The concept was created for a Boutique Resort incorporating a hotel, spa, wine bar, restaurant and pool. The historic main house dates from the 1920s and is arranged over three floors. Its basement currently operates as a wine-tasting bar and shop. Additional areas include cellars, storage rooms, a wine cellar, laundry facilities, offices and service rooms. A chapel with Portuguese tiles gives the estate a distinctive architectural identity. The large courtyard and U-shaped buildings offer a memorable arrival and hospitality setting. Outdoor terraces, landscaped and natural gardens, trees, ponds and water features support an attractive rural retreat atmosphere. The existing pool requires renovation as part of the wider redevelopment. Private parking for around 50 cars allows the site to accommodate guests and event visitors. The property is reached via a tarmac country road and lies approximately 3 kilometres from a village with restaurants. Mértola is 29 kilometres away and Beja, with wider amenities, is approximately 25 kilometres away. Faro Airport is around 145 kilometres distant, while Lisbon Airport is approximately 197 kilometres away. Two boreholes, a cistern, water collection system, solar panels and garden drip irrigation provide a foundation for a more sustainable scheme. The partially operational wine bar may offer an opportunity to generate activity while the wider renovation is planned, subject to the buyer’s business strategy. Prospective purchasers should obtain detailed construction budgets, operating forecasts and professional advice before committing, as no ROI is guaranteed.
