The renovation project mansion near Sousel is listed for €595,000. For that purchase price, buyers acquire a 1920s Portuguese country mansion with approximately 1,800 m² of living space and 24,500 m² of land. The property requires extensive renovation, so the total project budget will also need to include construction, professional fees, services and permissions. Its two-storey layout contains 20 rooms and 10 bedrooms. There are two bathrooms, making a full modernisation programme particularly relevant. The principal building has a footprint exceeding 1,000 m² and retains traditional architectural character. Its substantial scale gives an investor flexibility when considering residential, hospitality or multi-generational use. The house was occupied by the same family until 2018, adding to its sense of history and authenticity. A rustic kitchen, fireplace and log burner contribute to the original country-house atmosphere. Furnished bedrooms and existing interior spaces help buyers understand the building's potential layout. The grounds are private, fenced and walled, with open countryside views. A well and cistern provide useful existing infrastructure, subject to inspection and confirmation. The adjacent 63.8 m² outbuilding includes a kitchen and two rooms. There is also an 85 m² shed and a 113.8 m² barn for storage or possible complementary uses. A small terrace connected by a service corridor adds further character to the ancillary accommodation. Cano is close to local village amenities within the Sousel municipality. Estremoz lies about 20 kilometres away and offers access to wider services, commerce and regional attractions. Évora is approximately 45 minutes by car, while Lisbon is around two hours away. The location also places the property approximately 45 minutes from the Spanish border, supporting cross-border access and regional tourism appeal. Prospective buyers should obtain independent renovation estimates and confirm planning or licensing options before calculating returns, rental income or potential ROI.
