Buying this 1750 manor house in Crato offers a rare opportunity to own a historic Alentejo estate with olive trees, a Roman cistern and equestrian facilities. Priced at €990,000, the property occupies 7.6 hectares at the foot of the Serra de São Mamede. Its combination of heritage, privacy and usable outdoor facilities makes it especially interesting to lifestyle buyers and investors. The Baroque manor house has been renovated in 2015 and remains carefully maintained. It includes six bedrooms, five bathrooms and approximately 195 m² of living space within 250 m² of construction. A dramatic high-ceilinged hall leads to the lounge and living room. Both reception rooms retain traditional wood-burning tiled stoves and attractive period decoration. The house also includes a library, fully fitted rustic kitchen, laundry room, storage room and guest toilet. Four bedrooms are on the ground floor, with one on the second floor, complementing the six-bedroom listing. The private chapel adds a deeply personal and historically significant dimension to the residence. Outside, mature olive trees and an orchard support an authentic rural lifestyle. The landscaped walled gardens contain two ornate Baroque swimming pools, fountains, a pond and a garden terrace. The Roman cistern is a remarkable reminder of the site’s long history and helps set it apart from ordinary country homes. Equestrian facilities include stables and two horse boxes, while sheepfolds and other buildings offer further rural versatility. Three garages provide private parking and useful storage for vehicles or equipment. The gardener’s house has one bedroom and is fully equipped for additional accommodation or estate support. Water and drainage infrastructure includes a borehole, well, cistern and septic tank, alongside mains electricity. Crato is just 3 km away, and Portalegre’s shopping, restaurants and cinema are within 18 km. The nearby nature reserve and surrounding countryside create opportunities for hiking, bird watching and peaceful outdoor living. Rental or retreat potential may exist because of the manor’s rarity, chapel, pools and guest accommodation, but ROI will depend on permissions, management and market demand.
