Buyers may choose this historic Alentejo estate for its chapel, guest accommodation, pool, extensive land and approved rural tourism plans. The property near Mértola is priced at €4,000,000 and includes the estate together with the approved renovation and investment project. It presents the chance to restore a distinctive rural setting for a Boutique Resort, subject to completion of the required works and professional due diligence. The estate occupies a fenced plot of 82,033 m² in the countryside of the Beja district. Its buildings provide around 1,986 m² of living and construction area. The main residence dates from the 1920s and has the scale and character of a former country palace. A Portuguese-tiled chapel stands among the buildings and adds considerable heritage appeal. Guest accommodation, service rooms and three outbuildings provide a broad base for a future hospitality operation. The approved scheme includes 18 superior suites, an owner’s apartment and a 450 m² covered service centre. Plans also allow for a hotel, spa, wine bar, restaurant, pool and attractive terrace areas. The partly renovated main house includes a basement wine-tasting bar and shop that is currently operating. Wine cellars, storage rooms, a shop and service areas reinforce the estate’s potential as a wine and food destination. The pool needs renovation, offering scope to create a more polished leisure facility. Courtyards, gardens, trees, ponds, water features and pastureland provide spaces for relaxation and outdoor activities. The grounds could support events, weddings, retreats, festivals, horse riding and agricultural experiences. Approximately 50 cars can be accommodated in the private parking area. A tarmac country road provides straightforward access to the gates. Restaurants in the nearest village are about 3 kilometres away, while Mértola is approximately 29 kilometres from the estate. Beja is around 25 kilometres away, and Praia Fluvial da Ribeira de Carreiras is about 33 kilometres distant. Two boreholes, a cistern, water collection, solar panels and drip irrigation offer useful infrastructure for a countryside project. The proposed accommodation and event uses could create several revenue channels, although future returns will depend on construction costs, operation, demand and approvals. Construction expenditure is not included, so buyers should obtain detailed technical, legal and financial advice before proceeding.
