Buyers can purchase this large country estate near Mértola, Alentejo, for €4,000,000, including the property and its approved renovation and investment project. The estate offers approximately 1,986 m² of built area on a fenced 82,033 m² plot. Its approved plans are designed for a boutique resort with hotel accommodation, a spa, wine bar, restaurant, pool and outdoor terraces. Set beside a tarmac country road, the property is reached easily from the surrounding Alentejo countryside. The main house dates from the 1920s and is arranged over three floors. Several outbuildings form a U-shaped layout around a substantial central courtyard. A chapel with Portuguese tiles adds historic character and a distinctive feature for future guests or event clients. The estate currently includes 30 rooms, with the approved concept providing hotel suites and an owner’s apartment. Parts of the main house and the wine bar have already been renovated. The operating wine bar offers wine tasting and includes a souvenir shop. Cellars, storage areas, service rooms and a wine cellar support both hospitality and agricultural uses. A pool, terraces, gardens, trees and water features create the foundation for a rural tourism setting. The fenced land also includes natural areas, paddocks and countryside views suitable for animals and outdoor activities. Two boreholes, a cistern and water collection infrastructure support the property’s water strategy. Solar panels currently serve two boreholes, while drip irrigation covers the garden areas. Mains water and electricity connections are in the process of being installed. Around 50 cars can be accommodated in the private parking area, which is valuable for weddings, retreats and larger events. The location is approximately 29 km from Mértola and 25 km from Beja, where buyers can access a broad range of amenities. A village with restaurants is only 3 km away, and Praia Fluvial da Ribeira de Carreias is about 33 km from the estate. The project could create income through accommodation, dining, wine experiences, weddings, festivals, retreats, horse riding and spa services, subject to completion, operating costs and market performance.
