With 10 bedrooms, 1,800 m² of living area and a 24,500 m² plot, the property can accommodate an ambitious residential or hospitality vision.

Countryside views contribute to the relaxed character of the setting. A well and cistern are already present, although all utilities should be professionally assessed before purchase. Interior character includes a rustic kitchen, furnished bedrooms, a fireplace and a log burner. The property’s family history, having remained with the same family until 2018, adds authenticity to the renovation story. Estremoz offers shops, restaurants, services and access to the wider Alentejo lifestyle. Évora is about 45 minutes away, giving access to major cultural attractions and a wider visitor market. Lisbon is approximately two hours by car, while the Spanish border is around 45 minutes away.
