A 1,800 m² Alentejo mansion with 20 rooms could appeal to investors seeking a large-scale renovation and hospitality project. It is offered for sale at €595,000, giving buyers a substantial historic building and 2.45 hectares of land as the starting point. The property is located near Sousel and around 45 minutes from Évora, supporting potential demand from visitors seeking an authentic rural experience. Built in the 1920s, the mansion preserves traditional character that could help distinguish a future guesthouse from newer accommodation. Its 20 rooms across two floors include 10 bedrooms, creating scope for a sizeable residential or tourism-led layout. There are currently two bathrooms, so a future conversion would require careful planning and substantial modernisation. The main building covers more than 1,000 m² at ground level. An adjoining 63.80 m² outbuilding contains a kitchen and two rooms. An 85 m² shed and a 113.80 m² barn provide additional space for storage, workshops or other approved uses. These ancillary buildings could support a phased redevelopment strategy. The private, fenced and walled grounds offer room for landscaping, outdoor seating or other amenities, subject to permissions. A well and cistern may assist with the property’s rural setting and future garden planning. A rustic kitchen, fireplace and log burner add atmosphere to the existing accommodation. Countryside views could enhance the appeal of a retreat, events concept or guest accommodation business. Estremoz is only about 20 km away and provides access to regional heritage, food and wine attractions. Évora, a major cultural destination, is approximately 45 minutes by car. Lisbon is around two hours away, widening the potential visitor catchment. The Spanish border is also reachable in roughly 45 minutes, adding cross-border accessibility. Investment returns would depend on renovation costs, planning permissions, operating strategy and achieved occupancy rather than the building alone.

This property was built in the 1920s and has been occupied by the same family until 2018. The main building has a footprint of more than 1000m2 but it is in need of a lot of renovation. It is ideal for a big generation family or an investor to convert it into a beautiful running guest house.

The property also has outbuildings:
Connected to an outbuilding of 63,80 m2 adjacent to the house, also with one floor, with a kitchen and two rooms. There is also a service corridor that leads to a small terrace on the first floor and to another outbuilding.

There is also a shed of 85 m2 and a barn of 113,80 m2.
