Investing in this large Alentejo estate provides an opportunity to acquire an approved hospitality project with a chapel, pool, wine cellar and extensive event potential. The property is for sale at €2,800,000, with the approved project included and construction costs excluded. Buyers seeking a diversified rural tourism investment can develop accommodation, dining, wellness, wine and event activities in one destination. The estate comprises approximately 1,986 m² of buildings on a fenced plot of about 82,033 m². The approved plans include 18 superior guest accommodations and a 450 m² covered service centre. The proposed resort concept incorporates a hotel, spa, restaurant, wine bar, terraces and sustainable rural elements. A wine-tasting bar and souvenir shop are already partially operational, creating an existing commercial starting point. The property contains cellars, storage rooms, service areas and a dedicated wine cellar. Its 1920s main house offers palatial character and can contribute to a distinctive guest experience. Several outbuildings and a U-shaped arrangement surround a substantial courtyard. The chapel features Portuguese tiles and could become a memorable venue for weddings, blessings, cultural visits or intimate celebrations. Event opportunities may also include retreats, festivals, private functions and corporate gatherings. The existing pool needs renovation but offers clear potential as part of a leisure and spa programme. Terraces, gardens, trees, ponds and water features provide attractive settings for outdoor dining and functions. The estate has countryside views, private parking for approximately 50 cars and easy access from a tarmac country road. Two boreholes, a cistern, water collection and solar panels support the property’s resource infrastructure. A drip irrigation system covers the garden areas, while the fenced land could accommodate paddocks, animals or agricultural experiences. The nearest village with restaurants is about 3 km away, and both Mértola and Beja provide wider amenities within approximately 29 km and 25 km. The setting near the river beach at Praia Fluvial da Ribeira de Carreiras adds a further leisure attraction for visitors. Rental income, event bookings, restaurant sales and wine experiences could provide several potential revenue channels, subject to final construction, licensing and market assessment.
