An approved rural tourism investment project with 18 planned suites is available near Beja through this €4,000,000 country estate close to Mértola. The opportunity includes the estate, the approved renovation project and 1,986 m² of existing construction on 82,033 m² of land. It is suited to buyers looking to create a boutique resort, subject to completing the works and confirming all operational requirements. The approved concept is centred on 18 superior-quality guest accommodations within a wider hotel, spa and wine bar development. A 450 m² covered service centre is included in the project plans. The existing complex also provides a partly renovated main house, a wine bar, shop, chapel and several outbuildings. A restaurant, wellness facilities, pool areas and landscaped terraces are intended to form part of the finished destination. The property’s 30 rooms and extensive service areas provide a substantial base for hospitality conversion. Guests could be attracted by the quiet countryside, local food, wine experiences and proximity to Mértola and Beja. The existing wine tasting bar and souvenir shop offer a starting point for a visitor-facing business. Cellars and wine storage areas reinforce the potential for tastings, retail sales and regional produce experiences. The tiled chapel could provide a memorable venue for weddings, celebrations and cultural gatherings. Other possible revenue streams include retreats, festivals, corporate events, horse riding, restaurant services and private functions. The grounds include pastureland, paddocks, gardens, trees, water features and outdoor relaxation areas. A pool is already present, although it needs renovation before forming part of the completed resort. Water infrastructure includes two boreholes, a cistern, collection systems and solar panels serving two boreholes. Easy access is provided by a tarmac country road, with parking for approximately 50 cars. The nearest village with restaurants is roughly 3 km away, and Beja is approximately 25 km from the property. Mértola is around 29 km away, while Faro Airport is approximately 145 km distant. Rental income, events and hospitality revenue may offer future returns, but ROI will depend on the completed build, management strategy, market demand and running costs.
