Buyers may choose this 1,800 m² 1920s mansion renovation project near Estremoz for its rare combination of historic character, scale and land, offered at €595,000. Located in Cano in the Sousel area, the property stands on approximately 2.45 hectares and is only 20 km from Estremoz. The mansion contains 20 rooms over two floors, including 10 bedrooms and two bathrooms. Its generous proportions create options that are difficult to find in a conventional Portuguese country house. The main building has a footprint exceeding 1,000 m² and requires extensive renovation. That condition allows an investor or owner-occupier to plan the accommodation, services and finishes from the ground up. The property could become a large family home with separate spaces for guests and future generations. It may also be suitable for a guest-house or rural tourism project, subject to planning and licensing approval. Historic details include a rustic kitchen, fireplace and log burner. An adjoining 63.80 m² outbuilding provides a kitchen and two further rooms. A connected service corridor leads to a small first-floor terrace and another outbuilding. The 85 m² shed and 113.80 m² barn offer useful additional capacity for storage, workshops or conversion studies. The fenced and walled grounds provide privacy and scope for landscaping. A well and cistern may support future garden or property needs, subject to inspection. Countryside views reinforce the peaceful Alentejo lifestyle. Évora is around 45 minutes away, giving access to heritage, dining and cultural attractions. Lisbon is approximately two hours by car for international and metropolitan connections. The Spanish border is also within about 45 minutes, broadening the regional appeal. Investment performance will depend on renovation expenditure, final use, local demand and required approvals rather than the purchase price alone.
