This rural tourism investment property near the Algarve includes solar panels and a generator, and is for sale at €2,950,000. It is a secluded 16-bedroom guesthouse beside the dam of the Mira River in Santa Clara-a-Velha, between Alentejo and the Algarve. The estate contains 575,000m² of land and 441m² of living space, making it suitable for an ambitious hospitality concept. Twelve bathrooms support the guest accommodation and day-to-day operation. The property’s own lake and beach access create a strong setting for outdoor stays and leisure activities. A main guesthouse with outbuildings gives the buyer scope to organise accommodation, services and back-of-house functions. Two large reception sitting rooms can be used for dining, socialising, workshops or hosted retreats. The professional kitchen is practical for a guesthouse serving groups and organised holidays. Solar power and the generator help provide energy autonomy, an important feature for a secluded rural operation. Dam water is used for irrigation and filtered for domestic use. A log burner adds warmth and character to the interior. Storage and maintenance workshops help with the management of the buildings and grounds. The landscape of hills, valleys and natural viewpoints offers a tranquil alternative to busy resort locations. Guests could be attracted by experiences involving yoga, sauna, massage treatments, healthy food and organic vegetables. The location is around 52km from the Atlantic coast and its beaches. Faro is approximately 103km away, offering access to the Algarve and its airport region. A railway station about 16km from the property provides daily connections to Lisbon and Faro. Buyers looking for an investment may consider holiday accommodation, wellness retreats, group bookings or a family-operated rural business, subject to licences and planning. Rental potential and ROI should be modelled against seasonality, staffing, maintenance and local market demand. Contact us now for more information and to arrange a private viewing.
