You can buy this large country estate near Mértola, Alentejo, for €4,000,000, including the property and an approved renovation and investment project. The proposed development is designed as a Boutique Resort with hotel accommodation, a spa, wine bar, restaurant and outdoor leisure areas. It offers buyers a substantial rural tourism opportunity on an 82,033 m² fenced plot in the Beja district. The estate provides approximately 1,986 m² of living and construction area. There are 30 rooms in total, with the approved scheme including 18 superior-quality guest accommodations and an owner’s apartment. A large early twentieth-century main house forms the centrepiece of the property. Several buildings arranged around a courtyard create scope for accommodation, hospitality and service uses. A Portuguese-tiled chapel adds historic character and could support weddings, retreats and cultural events. The existing facilities include a partly renovated main house and an operational wine-tasting bar with a souvenir shop. Cellars, storage rooms, a wine cellar and service areas provide practical support for a future hospitality business. A pool, terraces, gardens, water features and pastureland contribute to the resort’s lifestyle appeal. The gated entrance leads to private parking for approximately 50 cars. Easy access is provided by a tarmac country road. The nearest village, with restaurants, is around 3 kilometres away. Mértola is approximately 29 kilometres from the estate, while Beja and its amenities are about 25 kilometres away. Praia Fluvial da Ribeira de Carreiras is approximately 33 kilometres away for riverside leisure and swimming. The property has two boreholes, a cistern, solar panels serving two boreholes and drip irrigation across the garden areas. Mains water and electricity are in the process of being installed, so buyers should assess the remaining infrastructure and construction requirements. Potential revenue streams include hotel stays, spa services, wine tasting, dining, events, weddings, festivals, retreats and rural experiences. The approved project may help streamline the development strategy, although construction costs are not included in the asking price.
