This Baroque country estate near Portalegre is available for €990,000. The purchase includes a historic manor house with a chapel, two decorated pools, stables and approximately 7.6 hectares of private land. It is located near Crato in the Alentejo, only 18 kilometres from Portalegre. The estate dates from approximately 1750 and was renovated in 2015. Its preserved architectural details provide a distinctive alternative to modern country properties. Inside, an imposing hall with high ceilings introduces the main living areas. The lounge and living room each include traditional wood-burning tiled stoves. There are six bedrooms, five bathrooms and a library within the residence. The property also benefits from a fully fitted rustic kitchen with marble worktops and integrated appliances. A private chapel adds a particularly unusual feature for buyers seeking historic Portuguese real estate. The grounds are enclosed by a stone wall more than three metres high and entered through a representative vaulted gate. Two Baroque swimming pools, a fountain and a Roman cistern form the centrepiece of the gardens. Stables, two horse boxes, sheepfolds and other buildings provide practical options for equestrian or rural use. Three garages offer secure parking and storage. The land includes olive trees, an orchard, fruit trees and landscaped garden areas. A gardener’s house with one bedroom could accommodate staff, guests or a separate support function, subject to suitability. The Serra de São Mamede nature reserve is close by, offering opportunities for hiking, wildlife watching and outdoor leisure. Crato is approximately 3 kilometres away, and Portalegre offers everyday amenities including shops, restaurants and a cinema. Spain can be reached in roughly 30 kilometres, adding cross-border convenience to the location. The estate may appeal to buyers considering a private residence, boutique retreat or holiday rental concept, although income and ROI would depend on planning, operation and local demand.
