You can buy this substantial country estate near Mértola in Alentejo for €4,000,000, including an approved renovation and investment project for a boutique hotel, spa and wine bar. The property offers 1,986 m² of built area on a fenced 82,033 m² plot in the Beja district. It is a compelling opportunity for buyers seeking a rural tourism business with accommodation, hospitality and lifestyle potential. The approved concept includes 18 superior-quality guest accommodations, a spa, restaurant, pool areas and terraces. The existing estate contains 30 rooms across a large main house and several additional buildings. Dating from before 1951, the palatial main house is arranged over three floors and surrounds a generous courtyard with other buildings in a U-shaped layout. A wine tasting bar and souvenir shop are already operating within the partly renovated property. Buyers will also find storage rooms, service areas, cellars and a dedicated wine cellar. The estate includes a chapel with Portuguese tiles, three outbuildings and further guest accommodation. A swimming pool is present, although it requires renovation as part of the wider development works. Around 50 cars can be accommodated in the parking area reached via the tarmac country road. Two boreholes, a cistern, water collection system and solar panels supporting two boreholes provide useful infrastructure for a sustainable rural project. Drip irrigation covers the garden areas, which include trees, terraces, water features and landscaped and natural sections. The extensive grounds could support retreats, weddings, festivals, horse riding, agricultural activities and private events.
