An 82,033m² country estate with 18 planned suites in Alentejo is offered for €2,800,000. The asking price includes the property and the approved renovation and investment project, but construction costs are not included. Buyers searching for a large hospitality development near Mértola can therefore acquire an established project with substantial land and buildings. The planned accommodation comprises 18 superior-quality units alongside an owner’s apartment. There are 30 rooms in total across the existing buildings and planned use. The built and living area measures approximately 1,986m². The estate includes a main house, a large courtyard, three outbuildings and a distinctive chapel. Much of the original architecture dates from before 1951, with renovation works already started in selected areas. The partly renovated wine bar and shop are currently operational. A wine cellar, storage rooms and service spaces could support tastings, retail sales and hospitality operations. The approved concept is designed around a boutique resort with hotel, spa and wine bar elements. It also allows buyers to investigate a restaurant, rural tourism, events and retreat business model. The pool requires renovation but could become a central leisure feature for future guests. Landscaped and natural gardens include trees, terraces, water features and a drip irrigation system. The property has two boreholes, a cistern and systems for collecting water. Solar panels serve two boreholes, supporting a more sustainable rural operation. The entrance is reached via a tarmac road and provides parking for roughly 50 cars. Restaurants are available in the nearest village around 3km away, with Mértola approximately 29km distant. Beja, offering broader amenities and services, is about 25km from the estate. Faro Airport is approximately 145km away and Lisbon Airport is around 197km away. This investment could provide rental, event and food-and-wine income potential, although returns will depend on construction, licensing, management and market performance.
