You can buy this country estate near Mértola, Alentejo, for €4,000,000 with an approved renovation and investment project included. The proposed development is designed as a Boutique Resort with hotel accommodation, a spa, wine bar, restaurant and leisure areas. Located near Alcaria Ruiva, the estate offers a substantial tourism investment opportunity in the Beja district. The fenced plot measures 82,033m² and includes approximately 1,986m² of existing living and construction area. The property contains 30 rooms, including a main house, guest accommodation and several service buildings. The architectural project includes 18 superior-quality accommodations and an owner’s apartment. A 450m² covered service centre is also planned within the resort concept. The historic main house dates from the 1920s and is arranged over three levels. Its basement currently operates as a wine-tasting bar and souvenir shop. The wine bar, cellar and storage areas are among the parts already renovated or partially operational. A Portuguese-tiled chapel adds distinctive character and could support weddings, retreats and private events. The buildings form a U-shaped arrangement around a large courtyard. Outdoor features include terraces, gardens, trees, water features and a swimming pool requiring renovation. Two boreholes, a cistern, water collection and solar panels for the boreholes support the estate’s rural infrastructure. A drip irrigation system covers the garden areas, while mains water and electricity are in the process of being installed. The land is suitable for rural tourism, agricultural use, animals, wine experiences and outdoor hospitality. Around 3km away, the nearest village provides restaurants, while Mértola is approximately 29km away. Beja, with broader amenities, is about 25km from the estate, and Praia Fluvial da Ribeira de Carreiras is 33km away. The approved project creates scope for accommodation income, restaurant trading, wine tourism, retreats, festivals and wedding events, subject to completing the works and securing any required approvals.
