The 20-room Portuguese mansion near Sousel is listed at 595,000. For that asking price, buyers acquire a 1920s country property with around 1,800 m² of living area and 2.45 hectares of land. The mansion is a major renovation project in Cano, in the northern Alentejo, rather than a ready-to-occupy home. Its accommodation is arranged over two floors and includes 10 bedrooms and two bathrooms. The scale makes it relevant to investors comparing large properties for sale in Portugal. The same family occupied the main house until 2018, giving the building an established residential history. Traditional character remains throughout, despite the need for extensive modernisation. A purchaser could explore creating a guest house, rural retreat or spacious private residence, subject to planning and licensing requirements. The 20-room layout offers flexibility for bedrooms, reception rooms, offices, communal areas or owner accommodation. A 63.80 m² adjoining outbuilding contains a kitchen and two rooms. There is also a service corridor leading towards a small terrace on the first floor and another outbuilding. Separate rural structures include an 85 m² shed and a 113.80 m² barn. The plot extends to approximately 24,500 m² and includes private, fenced and walled areas. Countryside views contribute to the peaceful Alentejo setting. A well and cistern provide useful rural water infrastructure, while a log burner adds a traditional focal point. Estremoz is only about 20 kilometres from the property and offers wider services and regional attractions. Évora is approximately 45 minutes away by car for cultural, commercial and tourism connections. Lisbon is around two hours away, and the Spanish border can be reached in approximately 45 minutes. The purchase price should be assessed alongside renovation, compliance, furnishing and potential business conversion costs.
