Investors can explore this unique Alentejo manor house in Crato, offered for €990,000 with equestrian facilities and potential for a rural tourism concept. The estate provides 7.6 hectares of private land, a historic residence, guest accommodation and a collection of distinctive heritage features. It may appeal to buyers seeking a lifestyle investment, hospitality project or long-term rural asset in Portugal. The manor house dates from approximately 1750 and retains its beautifully preserved Baroque character. Renovation was carried out in 2015, while the property continues to showcase its historic architecture. Six bedrooms and five bathrooms provide substantial accommodation for owners, guests or a carefully planned hospitality operation. The residence also contains a library and chapel, creating points of difference for a heritage-led experience. High ceilings, traditional tiled stoves, old tiles and wooden floors enhance the atmosphere of the principal rooms. A rustic fitted kitchen is equipped with modern appliances and a marble worktop. The grounds are enclosed by a stone wall more than three metres high and accessed through a representative vaulted gate. Equestrian facilities include stables and two horse boxes, with sheepfolds and other buildings adding further rural functionality. Three garages can accommodate vehicles, equipment or potential workshop uses. Guests or caretakers could use the fully equipped one-bedroom gardener’s house, subject to the intended arrangement. Two Baroque swimming pools, fountains, a pond and a Roman cistern give the estate strong visual and leisure appeal. Orchard land, olive trees, fruit trees and landscaped gardens support an authentic Alentejo setting. A borehole, well and cistern provide established water resources, alongside mains electricity and a septic tank. The location at the foot of the Serra de São Mamede mountains offers access to nature, wildlife, hiking and bird watching. Crato is only 3 kilometres away, and Portalegre’s shops, restaurants and cinema are approximately 18 kilometres from the estate.
