This historic Baroque manor house in Crato is a compelling Alentejo property for buyers considering a private residence, retreat or rental investment. Offered at €990,000, it combines six bedrooms, five bathrooms and 7.6 hectares of land. The estate’s scale and historic setting provide considerably more flexibility than a conventional rural home. Built around 1750, the manor has retained its architectural character and was renovated in 2015. Its heritage includes a private chapel, Baroque decoration, fountains and historic garden features. The approximately 195 m² living area is arranged within a 250 m² construction. An imposing entrance hall connects to a lounge and living room with traditional wood-burning tiled stoves. A library creates a quiet space for working, reading or hosting guests. The accommodation also includes a fully fitted rustic kitchen and useful storage and laundry areas. Six bedrooms and five bathrooms could support private living or a multi-room guest concept, subject to the required approvals. Three garages, two horse boxes, stables and other outbuildings add operational versatility. The walled grounds contain two decorated Baroque pools, a Roman cistern, a fountain and a pond. Olive trees, an orchard, fruit trees and landscaped gardens contribute to the property’s lifestyle appeal. A separate one-bedroom gardener’s house may be useful for guests, staff or on-site support, subject to its condition and permitted use. The Serra de São Mamede nature reserve provides an attractive backdrop for hiking, bird watching and rural tourism. Crato is just 3 kilometres away, while Portalegre is 18 kilometres away with shops, restaurants and cinema facilities. The estate is also approximately 30 kilometres from Spain and 170 kilometres from Lisbon. Its heritage and facilities could help create a distinctive short-term rental or retreat proposition, although projected ROI should be verified through a local feasibility study and planning review. For personal use, it offers privacy, space and a genuinely uncommon Portuguese setting. Contact us to arrange a viewing and discuss the investment possibilities of this Alentejo estate.
