You can buy this 20-room Portuguese mansion renovation project in Cano, in the northern Alentejo near Sousel. The asking price is €595,000 for a historic country property with 10 bedrooms, 1,800 m² of living area and a 2.45-hectare plot. It offers a substantial opportunity for buyers seeking a large family residence or an Alentejo guest-house conversion project. Built in the 1920s, the mansion retains traditional character and has been occupied by the same family until 2018. The main building covers two floors and has a footprint of more than 1,000 m². There are currently two bathrooms, so renovation and reconfiguration will be essential. The generous room count could support private accommodation, guest suites, communal areas or a combination of uses, subject to the necessary approvals. Buyers will also find a connected 63.80 m² outbuilding with a kitchen and two rooms. A service corridor links this structure to a small first-floor terrace and another outbuilding. Additional agricultural and storage buildings include an 85 m² shed and a 113.80 m² barn. The private, fenced and walled grounds provide space for gardens, outdoor entertaining or carefully planned landscaping. Countryside views reinforce the peaceful rural setting. A well and cistern are useful existing features for a renovation scheme, subject to inspection and local regulations. The interior includes a rustic kitchen, furnished bedrooms and a living room with a fireplace and log burner. Cano is close to local village amenities while remaining within easy reach of the region’s historic towns. Estremoz is approximately 20 kilometres away, offering shops, services, restaurants and its celebrated Alentejo setting. Évora can be reached in around 45 minutes by car, while Lisbon is approximately two hours away. The Spanish border is also around 45 minutes away, adding regional travel appeal. Rental income and return on investment could be explored through a guest-house or rural hospitality concept, but performance will depend on the finished project, approvals and market conditions.
