Investors can buy this large Alentejo estate near Mértola for €4,000,000, with 1,986m² of buildings, a pool and parking for approximately 50 cars. The sale includes an approved renovation and investment project for a Boutique Resort with hotel, spa, wine bar and restaurant potential. Covering 82,033m², the property provides the scale required for a substantial rural hospitality or mixed-use venture. The complex contains 30 rooms across the main house, guest accommodation, service areas and outbuildings. The planned concept includes 18 superior-quality accommodations, an owner’s apartment and a 450m² covered service centre. A wine bar and shop are already partly renovated and operating, offering an existing commercial element. Cellars, a wine cellar, storage rooms and service spaces support the proposed wine and food business. The main residence is a palatial early twentieth-century building dating from the 1920s. Three additional outbuildings and a Portuguese-tiled chapel add flexibility and heritage appeal. A large courtyard sits at the centre of the U-shaped building arrangement. Outside, the estate includes terraces, gardens, trees, water features, paddocks and countryside views. The swimming pool requires renovation and could be incorporated into a redesigned resort setting. Easy access is provided by a tarmac country road, which is useful for guests, staff, suppliers and event logistics. The property has two boreholes, a cistern, water collection and solar panels serving the boreholes. Drip irrigation covers the garden areas, while mains water and electricity are being progressed. The estate lies approximately 29km from Mértola and 25km from Beja, providing access to local amenities and services. A river beach at Praia Fluvial da Ribeira de Carreiras is around 33km away. Faro Airport is approximately 145km distant, and Lisbon Airport is about 197km away. Potential income sources include accommodation, dining, wine tasting, events, retreats, weddings, festivals and agricultural activities, although returns depend on execution, demand and operating costs.
