You can buy this 10-bedroom renovation project in Cano, within the municipality of Sousel in northern Alentejo. The property offers 20 rooms, approximately 1,800 m² of living area and a 2.45-hectare plot. It is listed at 595,000 and is suited to buyers seeking a substantial Portuguese country house to restore. Built in the 1920s, the mansion retains traditional character and historic architectural features. The main building occupies a footprint of more than 1,000 m² across two floors. Considerable renovation is required, giving an investor scope to redesign the accommodation around a clear business plan. The generous room count could support a large multi-generational family home or a boutique guest house, subject to the necessary permissions. A connected 63.80 m² outbuilding provides a kitchen and two additional rooms. A service corridor links this outbuilding to the main house, a small first-floor terrace and another outbuilding. The grounds also include an 85 m² shed and a 113.80 m² barn. These additional buildings may offer storage, workshop or future ancillary accommodation potential, subject to approval. The private, fenced and walled grounds provide countryside views and space for landscaped gardens or outdoor guest facilities. A well and cistern are included, supporting the rural property infrastructure. Inside, traditional details include a rustic kitchen, furnished bedrooms and a living room with a fireplace. A log burner adds warmth and reinforces the home’s rural Portuguese atmosphere. The property is close to a village, offering everyday convenience without losing its countryside setting. Estremoz is approximately 20 kilometres away, with Évora around 45 minutes by car. Lisbon can be reached in roughly two hours, while the Spanish border is about 45 minutes away. Buyers should budget carefully for renovation, professional surveys, planning advice and future operating costs.
