For buyers seeking a large historic home near Estremoz, this 1920s mansion in the Sousel area is a substantial renovation investment. It is located approximately 20 kilometres from Estremoz and is offered for sale at €595,000. The property comprises 20 rooms, 10 bedrooms and around 1,800 m² of living area on a 24,500 m² plot. Its two-storey main building has a footprint of over 1,000 m². Extensive renovation is needed, presenting both a major challenge and an opportunity to reshape the property for a defined investment strategy. The traditional Portuguese style provides character that would be difficult to recreate in a new build. Potential uses include a large private residence, a multi-generational home, a guest house or another approved rural accommodation concept. The current accommodation includes two bathrooms, so upgrading services and internal layouts will be central to the works. Original elements include a rustic kitchen, a fireplace and a log burner. Furnished bedrooms and existing rooms provide a useful basis for assessing the building's condition and possible room divisions. The walled and fenced grounds offer privacy and a strong setting for gardens, leisure areas or outdoor hospitality space. Countryside views enhance the lifestyle appeal of the location. A well and cistern form part of the existing water infrastructure, subject to inspection. The property includes a 63.8 m² adjoining outbuilding with a kitchen and two rooms. Additional structures consist of an 85 m² shed and a 113.8 m² barn. These buildings could provide storage, workshops, staff facilities or supplementary project space, subject to planning approval. A terrace reached through the service corridor adds an interesting architectural detail. The nearby village offers everyday convenience, while Estremoz provides broader services and regional connectivity. Évora is about 45 minutes away, Lisbon roughly two hours away and the Spanish border approximately 45 minutes away. Investors should commission a building survey, prepare a detailed cost plan and verify all planning and commercial-use requirements before forecasting rental income or ROI.
