Buyers may wish to purchase this historic Alentejo estate because it combines a chapel, wine cellar, guest accommodation and approved plans for a boutique resort. Offered at €4,000,000, the property includes approximately 1,986 m² of built area and 82,033 m² of fenced land near Mértola. The approved renovation and investment project provides a clear framework for creating hotel accommodation, a spa, restaurant, wine bar, swimming pool and terraces. Instead of starting with an undeveloped site, investors acquire an established group of buildings with a distinctive heritage setting. The main house dates from the 1920s and is arranged across a first floor, ground floor and basement. Its basement is partly renovated as a wine tasting bar and shop. The estate also contains cellars, storage rooms, service areas and a wine cellar that suit wine-led hospitality. A chapel with Portuguese tiles adds cultural appeal and could become a memorable feature for celebrations or retreats. Three outbuildings sit alongside the main house in a U-shaped configuration around a large courtyard. Existing guest accommodation and the proposed owner’s apartment offer flexibility for management and visitor use. The approved concept includes 18 superior-quality accommodations and a 450 m² covered service centre, with the full architectural documentation available for review. The pool requires renovation, but landscaped gardens, terraces, trees and water features already establish an attractive outdoor environment. Paddocks and natural areas may appeal to buyers planning horse riding, animal facilities or agricultural experiences. The property benefits from easy tarmac-road access and parking for approximately 50 cars. A wine bar and souvenir shop are partially operational, offering a possible foundation for early commercial activity. Water infrastructure includes two boreholes, a cistern, water collection and solar panels serving two boreholes. Drip irrigation covers the gardens, while mains water and electricity connections are currently in progress. The nearest village, with restaurants, is roughly 3 km away, and Mértola and Beja are about 29 km and 25 km away respectively. Praia Fluvial da Ribeira de Carreias is approximately 33 km away, adding a leisure attraction for visitors. Rental income could be diversified across accommodation, wine tasting, dining, spa experiences, weddings, retreats and event hire, subject to final construction, licensing, demand and operating performance.
