Buyers may choose this traditional 1920s country house near Sousel for its historic character, exceptional scale and extensive outbuildings. Listed at €595,000, it provides 10 bedrooms, 20 rooms and approximately 1,800 m² of living space. The property is an ambitious renovation opportunity for a family, restoration specialist or investor seeking a distinctive Alentejo project. Its generous 2.45-hectare plot offers space, privacy and countryside surroundings. The mansion was occupied by the same family until 2018, adding a strong sense of continuity and local history. Although substantial work is required, the original proportions and traditional style create a characterful starting point. The two-storey main building has a footprint exceeding 1,000 m². It currently includes two bathrooms, a rustic kitchen and a living room with a fireplace. A log burner contributes to the welcoming atmosphere of the house. The adjacent 63.80 m² outbuilding contains another kitchen and two rooms. A service corridor connects it with a small first-floor terrace and a further outbuilding. An 85 m² shed and a 113.80 m² barn provide valuable additional covered space. These structures could be adapted for storage, workshops, guest accommodation or rural business functions, subject to planning approval. The private garden is fenced and walled, helping define the estate and protect its rural setting. A well and cistern are already available, which may prove useful during future landscaping works. The property is close to a village, making everyday access more convenient than at a remote country estate. Estremoz is approximately 20 km away, while Évora is about 45 minutes by car. Lisbon is roughly two hours away, and the Spanish border can be reached in around 45 minutes. The combination of location, land and adaptable buildings creates potential for a private home, guest house or retreat concept, although licensing and renovation feasibility must be confirmed.
