This 82,033m² Alentejo country estate with hotel, spa and wine bar potential is for sale at €4,000,000. The asking price includes the estate and its approved renovation and investment project, but construction costs are excluded. For buyers assessing a sizeable hospitality project, the property combines 1,986m² of buildings with extensive rural land near Mértola. The proposed scheme envisages a Boutique Resort with hotel suites, a spa, restaurant, pool and terrace areas. Plans provide for 18 superior-quality guest accommodations together with an owner’s apartment. The estate currently has 30 rooms in total across the main house and associated buildings. A wine-tasting bar and shop are already operating on a partial basis. Cellars, storage rooms, service areas and a wine cellar provide practical support for a future wine-led business. The main residence is an early twentieth-century palatial building dating from the 1920s. Additional structures include three outbuildings, a chapel and single-storey service buildings. Approximately 50 vehicles can be accommodated in the private parking area beyond the entrance gates. The swimming pool requires renovation, offering an opportunity to redesign the leisure facilities around the resort plan. Courtyards, landscaped and natural gardens, paddocks, ponds and countryside views contribute to the rural setting. The estate is accessed by a tarmac country road, making it suitable for guests, suppliers and event visitors. Water is supported by two boreholes, a cistern and collection systems, with mains water in progress. Solar panels serve two boreholes, and drip irrigation extends across the garden areas. The location is approximately 29km from Mértola and 25km from Beja. Faro Airport is about 145km away, while Lisbon Airport is approximately 197km distant. Commercial possibilities include rural accommodation, wellness retreats, wine tasting, dining, weddings, festivals, horse riding and private events. Buyers should assess projected renovation costs, operating plans and potential returns before proceeding, as no rental income or ROI is guaranteed.
