Near Beja, this country estate for sale combines planned guest accommodation with a chapel, pool and existing wine-tasting facilities. The asking price is €2,800,000 for the estate and approved renovation project, excluding the cost of construction. Located near Mértola in the Alentejo, the property provides 1,986 m² of built space on 82,033 m² of fenced land. The approved project includes 18 superior-quality accommodations, an owner’s apartment and a 450 m² covered service centre. Existing buildings comprise a large main house, three outbuildings and courtyard structures arranged in a palatial rural setting. A Portuguese-tiled chapel gives the estate a strong identity and could be suited to ceremonies, cultural visits or private functions. The wine bar and souvenir shop are partly renovated and currently operating as a small business. Cellars, storage rooms, service areas and a wine cellar add practical support for hospitality and retail operations. The pool needs renovation but offers scope for a leisure and wellness area within the future resort. Terraces, gardens, trees, water features and pastureland create a broad setting for outdoor guest experiences. The estate can accommodate around 50 cars, which is useful for events, restaurant visits and wedding receptions. Two boreholes and a cistern support the property’s rural water infrastructure. Water collection and solar panels for two boreholes contribute to the site’s sustainable approach. A drip irrigation system covers the garden areas and can help maintain landscaped grounds. Mains water and electricity are in the process of being installed, so buyers should assess the technical position during due diligence. The nearest village with restaurants is approximately 3 km away. Mértola is about 29 km from the estate, while Beja is approximately 25 km away and provides wider amenities. The nearby Praia Fluvial da Ribeira de Carreiras is around 33 km away for seasonal recreation. Investment possibilities include rural tourism, a boutique resort, wine tourism, retreats, weddings, festivals and a restaurant. The combination of accommodation, events and wine-related activities could create several future income channels, although returns depend on development, operation and market performance.
