You can buy this 20-room Portuguese mansion for renovation in Cano, in the northern Alentejo near Sousel. The asking price is €595,000 for a historic 1920s property with approximately 1,800 m² of living space and a 2.45-hectare plot. It is a substantial renovation opportunity for buyers seeking a characterful family residence or a hospitality investment. The mansion is arranged over two floors and includes 10 bedrooms and two bathrooms. Its main building has a footprint of more than 1,000 m². Traditional features and the home’s original character remain central to its appeal. Renovation will be extensive, so buyers should arrange professional surveys and obtain detailed building cost estimates. A connected 63.8 m² outbuilding provides a kitchen and two additional rooms. The property also includes a shed of approximately 85 m² and a barn measuring around 113.8 m². These supplementary buildings could support storage, workshops or carefully planned guest accommodation, subject to the relevant permissions. A private, fenced and walled garden surrounds the house. Countryside views create a peaceful setting for rural living or a destination retreat. Existing features include a log burner, a well and a rustic kitchen. The house was occupied by the same family until 2018, adding to its authentic residential history. Estremoz is approximately 20 kilometres away for shops, services and regional connections. Évora can be reached in around 45 minutes by car, while Lisbon is approximately two hours away. The Spanish border is also about 45 minutes from the property. Its scale could provide meaningful rental potential once renovation and any required approvals are complete.
