For buyers seeking commercial property for sale in Portugal with hotel suites, spa, wine bar and restaurant potential, this Alentejo country estate is a compelling option. Located near Mértola in the Beja district, it is offered at €4,000,000 with an approved renovation and investment project. The planned development is a Boutique Resort with 18 superior accommodations, a spa, restaurant, wine-tasting bar, pool and terraces. Approximately 1,986 m² of existing living and construction space gives the project considerable scale. The fenced estate extends across 82,033 m², creating room for hospitality facilities, gardens, pasture and outdoor activities. The main house dates from before 1951 and retains the presence of an early twentieth-century palatial residence. Three floors include accommodation potential, service areas and a basement wine bar and shop. A further 450 m² covered service centre is included within the approved project. The buildings form a U-shaped arrangement around a generous central courtyard. A chapel decorated with Portuguese tiles could provide an atmospheric venue for ceremonies, private functions and cultural events. Existing guest accommodation and three outbuildings add flexibility to the commercial layout. Wine storage, cellars, a shop and service rooms are already associated with the estate’s hospitality concept. The operational wine bar and souvenir shop could help establish a visitor-facing identity before the full resort is completed. The pool needs renovation but could become a major leisure feature within the finished scheme. Terraces, gardens, trees, ponds and water features create varied settings for dining, relaxation and events. The site could also suit retreats, weddings, festivals, horse riding, agricultural activities and wine-related experiences. It is approximately 3 kilometres from the nearest village and 29 kilometres from Mértola. Beja is around 25 kilometres away and provides broader amenities for guests, staff and operators. Access is convenient via a tarmac country road, with parking for about 50 cars. Boreholes, a cistern, solar panels and drip irrigation support the property’s sustainable rural tourism aspirations. The purchase price excludes construction costs, so commercial buyers should complete feasibility, licensing, finance and refurbishment assessments.
