Investors can buy this 1,986m² country estate with guest accommodation, wine cellar and approved resort plans near Mértola, in Portugal’s Alentejo region, for €4,000,000. The purchase includes the estate and the approved renovation project, while construction and completion costs remain separate. Its scale and existing commercial elements make it suitable for investors targeting rural tourism, boutique hospitality and wine-related experiences. The estate occupies an enclosed 82,033m² plot with pastureland, gardens and countryside views. Thirty rooms are distributed across the main house and associated buildings. Approved plans provide for 18 superior guest suites, an owner’s apartment and a 450m² covered service centre. The proposed resort combines hotel accommodation with a spa, restaurant, pool and terrace areas. A partially operational wine bar and souvenir shop already offer wine tasting and retail space. The property also includes a wine cellar, storage rooms, cellars, service rooms and a shop. The principal building dates from the early twentieth century and retains a palatial character. Several outbuildings surround a substantial courtyard, creating a practical and visually coherent layout. The estate chapel features Portuguese tiles and could add appeal for ceremonies or cultural events. Outdoor areas include terraces, trees, water features, natural gardens, landscaped sections and a pond. A pool is present but requires renovation as part of the wider investment plan. Entry gates lead to private parking for approximately 50 vehicles. Water resources include two boreholes, a cistern, rainwater collection and solar panels for two boreholes. Mains water and electricity are being progressed, and garden irrigation is already supported by a drip system. Additional business possibilities include retreats, festivals, weddings, horse riding, farm activities and organised wine tasting. The property is approximately 29km from Mértola, 25km from Beja and 3km from a village offering restaurants. Faro Airport is around 145km away, and Lisbon Airport is approximately 197km distant. Potential rental and operational returns should be assessed against construction expenditure, licensing, staffing, seasonality and the final business model.
