For buyers searching for a Portugal property with a hotel concept, wine bar, chapel and renovation potential, this country estate near Mértola is a distinctive option for €4,000,000. It combines a 1,986 m² estate with 82,033 m² of fenced land and an approved tourism renovation project. The proposed development includes a boutique hotel, spa, wine bar, restaurant and 18 high-quality accommodations. The estate is not a completed hotel, so buyers must budget separately for the construction and renovation works. A partly renovated main house from the 1920s provides a characterful foundation for the scheme. Its three-floor layout includes a basement wine tasting bar and shop. The surrounding buildings form a large courtyard in a traditional U-shaped arrangement. A chapel decorated with Portuguese tiles adds a rare heritage feature and could support ceremonies or cultural events. Three outbuildings provide additional flexibility for accommodation, services, storage or activity spaces. The property currently has 30 rooms in total, together with cellars, storage rooms, service rooms and a wine cellar. The existing wine bar and souvenir shop are partially operational and may help establish the future visitor experience. The approved project also incorporates a 450 m² covered service centre. Outdoor plans can include terraces, gardens, pool areas and relaxing spaces among trees and water features. The swimming pool is already present but requires renovation. With pastureland, paddocks and countryside views, the site could appeal to rural tourism operators and hospitality groups. Potential business uses include retreats, weddings, festivals, horse riding, wine tasting, dining and luxury spa stays. The estate is approximately 3 km from a village with restaurants and 25 km from Beja. Mértola is around 29 km away, and the river beach at Praia Fluvial da Ribeira de Carreiras is approximately 33 km away. Boreholes, a cistern, water collection and solar panels for two boreholes support the property’s sustainable rural setting. Contact us to obtain the project information and arrange an inspection.
