This six-bedroom country estate with a chapel and private Baroque pools in Alentejo is offered for €990,000. Located near Crato and approximately 18 kilometres from Portalegre, it provides an answer for buyers researching the cost of a historic rural property in Portugal. The 7.6-hectare estate combines a 250 m² manor house with substantial private grounds and a high stone boundary wall. Dating from around 1750, the residence was renovated in 2015 while preserving its historic character. The house includes six bedrooms, five bathrooms, a library, a chapel and generous reception rooms. Its impressive hall opens into a lounge and living room decorated with traditional wood-burning tiled stoves. A rustic fitted kitchen includes a marble worktop, electric hob and oven, dishwasher, microwave and fridge-freezer. Double-glazed windows with wooden frames bring together period styling and modern practicality. Two richly decorated swimming pools create an unusual private leisure setting within the gardens. A fountain and Roman cistern add further historical interest to the exterior spaces. The estate also includes a fully equipped one-bedroom gardener's house for guests or on-site support. Stables, two horse boxes, three garages and other outbuildings broaden the property's practical uses. Olive trees, fruit trees and an orchard support an authentic Alentejo countryside lifestyle. A borehole, well, cistern, mains electricity and septic tank provide the principal services described for the property. The walled grounds include terraces, a courtyard, barbecue area, natural landscaping and automatic irrigation. Set below the Serra de São Mamede, the location is suited to hiking, wildlife watching and tranquil rural living. Crato is only 3 kilometres away, making local access more convenient than the secluded setting may suggest. Portalegre offers shopping centres, restaurants and cinema facilities, while Spain is around 30 kilometres away. For investors, the combination of heritage architecture, guest accommodation and extensive land could support a premium holiday rental or retreat concept, subject to planning and licensing approval.
