Allow €595,000 for the purchase of this 20-room Alentejo mansion requiring renovation near Sousel, before adding renovation, professional and transaction costs. The property includes approximately 1,800 m² of living area and a 2.45-hectare plot in northern Alentejo. Buyers should budget carefully because the mansion requires extensive renovation and the final project cost will depend on surveys, specifications, permissions and construction rates. The 1920s house is arranged over two floors and has 10 bedrooms and two bathrooms. Its main building has a footprint of more than 1,000 m², creating a large but complex restoration brief. A professional structural survey should be completed before committing to a detailed refurbishment budget. Buyers may also need architectural, engineering, planning, legal and licensing advice depending on the intended use. The property’s existing character could justify a thoughtful restoration rather than a standard modernisation. An adjoining 63.8 m² outbuilding contains a kitchen and two rooms. The estate further includes an 85 m² shed and a 113.8 m² barn. These structures could increase the project’s long-term versatility, subject to their condition and permitted use. A well and log burner are among the existing features. The private garden is fenced and walled, with countryside views around the property. Its location near a village supports a quieter residential or rural tourism concept. Estremoz is approximately 20 kilometres away for everyday services and regional amenities. Évora is around 45 minutes by car, and Lisbon is about two hours away. The Spanish border can also be reached in roughly 45 minutes. Once renovated, the property could offer rental, retreat or guest-house potential, although income and ROI cannot be guaranteed. A detailed feasibility study should compare the purchase price, renovation budget, operating costs and projected demand.
