It combines 20 rooms, 10 bedrooms and approximately 1,800 m² of living area with a 24,500 m² rural plot. The property is located around 45 minutes from Évora, offering access to one of the Alentejo’s best-known historic cities. Its scale makes it suitable for exploring a guest house, rural tourism or multi-generational living concept, subject to permissions. The mansion was occupied by the same family until 2018 and preserves an authentic traditional atmosphere. Two floors provide substantial scope for designing private suites, shared lounges and reception areas.

A service corridor connects to a small first-floor terrace and an additional outbuilding. The 85 m² shed and 113.80 m² barn could support storage, maintenance or supplementary uses. A private, fenced and walled plot offers space for gardens, parking and outdoor relaxation areas. Countryside views would complement an Alentejo hospitality experience. The existing rustic kitchen, fireplace and log burner contribute to the property’s regional character. A well and cistern may provide useful infrastructure, subject to technical verification. Estremoz is approximately 20 km away and offers further amenities, services and cultural attractions. Lisbon is about two hours by car, while the Spanish border is around 45 minutes away. Potential rental income and return on investment will depend on the final design, renovation costs, operating model and applicable licensing.
