This large country estate near Beja is suitable for developing a rural tourism resort with 18 suites under an approved renovation and investment project. It is available for €2,800,000, including the estate and project but excluding construction costs. The location near Mértola offers buyers a substantial Alentejo setting for a hospitality, retreat or countryside accommodation business. The property contains around 1,986 m² of living and construction area. Its fenced landholding measures approximately 82,033 m², allowing scope for landscaping, outdoor activities and rural experiences. The approved project includes 18 superior-quality accommodations and a 450 m² covered service centre. Proposed facilities include a hotel, restaurant, spa, wine bar and terrace areas. The existing wine bar and souvenir shop are already operating on a partial basis. The main house dates from the 1920s and offers architectural character for a carefully managed renovation. Three floors include accommodation potential, service areas and a basement wine-tasting space. Additional outbuildings surround a generous courtyard and broaden the possible accommodation and operational layout. The Portuguese-tiled chapel is a notable feature for weddings, ceremonies and cultural tourism. A pool is already present, although renovation will be required before it can form part of the guest facilities. Gardens, terraces, trees, ponds and water features create a varied outdoor environment. The estate also has two boreholes, a cistern, water collection and solar panels serving two boreholes. Drip irrigation is installed across the garden areas, supporting future landscaping plans. Approximately 50 cars can be accommodated in the private parking area. The nearest village is about 3 km away, Mértola is approximately 29 km away and Beja is around 25 km away. Guests could also reach Praia Fluvial da Ribeira de Carreiras near Mértola, approximately 33 km from the estate. The combination of approved plans, extensive land and multiple revenue possibilities may appeal to hotel operators, private investors and resort groups.
