A 1,986 m² renovation project with 82,033 m² of land near Mértola is offered for €2,800,000. The price includes the country estate and its approved renovation and investment project, but construction costs are not included. This makes it relevant to buyers calculating the cost of a major Portuguese rural tourism investment. The estate is located near Mértola in the Alentejo region of Portugal. It contains approximately 1,986 m² of pure living and construction area. The fenced plot covers approximately 82,033 m², providing significant space for hospitality, leisure and agricultural uses. There are 30 rooms across the main residence and associated buildings. The main house was built before 1951 and retains the scale of a palatial rural property. It is arranged over a first floor, ground floor and basement. The basement currently contains a wine tasting bar and shop. The complex also includes storage rooms, cellars, a wine cellar and service spaces. Three outbuildings, a large courtyard and a chapel form part of the existing layout. The approved development concept proposes a boutique resort with hotel suites, a spa, restaurant, wine bar, terraces and pool facilities. Plans include 18 superior-quality accommodations, an owner’s apartment and a 450 m² covered service centre. The existing pool is present but needs renovation. Around 50 private parking spaces are available inside the gates. Two boreholes, a cistern and solar panels for the boreholes contribute to the estate’s infrastructure. Garden areas benefit from drip irrigation, while connections to mains water and electricity are being progressed. The property is reached by a tarmac country road and lies approximately 29 kilometres from Mértola. Beja, with broader amenities, is approximately 25 kilometres away, and Faro Airport is around 145 kilometres away. The planned resort could generate income through accommodation, dining, wine tasting, events, weddings, retreats and wellness experiences once completed. Prospective investors should assess construction budgets, licensing conditions, operating costs and projected occupancy before committing.
