This Portuguese rural tourism investment property includes approved plans for hotel suites, a spa and restaurant near Mértola, Alentejo. The asking price is €2,800,000 for the estate and approved project, excluding the cost of construction. It is suited to investors seeking a substantial hospitality redevelopment opportunity with existing wine tourism facilities. The site extends across approximately 82,033 m² of fenced countryside. Its buildings provide about 1,986 m² of living and construction area. The property has 30 rooms in total and is planned to accommodate 18 superior-quality guest units plus an owner’s apartment. The project also includes a 450 m² covered service centre. The proposed resort concept combines hotel accommodation with a restaurant, spa, wine bar, pool and outdoor terraces. A historic main house dating from the 1920s gives the scheme a strong architectural identity. Several outbuildings surround a spacious courtyard in a traditional estate arrangement. A chapel with Portuguese tiles could enhance wedding, cultural and retreat programming. The wine tasting bar and souvenir shop are already running on a partial basis. Existing cellar, storage and service areas provide a foundation for expanded wine-related operations. The pool requires renovation, while gardens, trees, water features and terraces create opportunities for leisure areas. There is private parking for approximately 50 vehicles, supporting events and guest arrivals. Rural tourism uses could include accommodation, wine tasting, restaurant dining, wellness breaks, retreats and private celebrations. The wider estate may also suit horse riding, festivals, agricultural activities and destination events. Infrastructure includes two boreholes, a cistern, water collection and solar panels serving two boreholes. A drip irrigation system covers garden areas, and mains utilities are currently in process of being installed. The property enjoys easy access from a tarmac country road in the peaceful Alentejo countryside. Restaurants in the nearest village are approximately 3 kilometres away, while Mértola is about 29 kilometres away and Beja about 25 kilometres away. Faro Airport is approximately 145 kilometres distant, helping connect the project with international visitors. Future rental revenue and ROI will depend on the completed scheme, positioning, occupancy and professional management.
