Investing in this restored historic manor house near the Serra de São Mamede gives buyers the opportunity to acquire a €990,000 estate with distinctive heritage appeal. The property combines a six-bedroom residence, approximately 7.6 hectares of private land, two Baroque pools and several complementary buildings. Its rarity and architectural character may help it stand out in the premium rural property market, although buyers should obtain independent investment and planning advice. The manor dates from around 1750 and was renovated in 2015. Historic features include preserved Baroque decoration, high ceilings, a formal hall, traditional tiled stoves and a private chapel. The main accommodation provides around 195 m² of living space within approximately 250 m² of construction. A library, five bathrooms and a fully fitted rustic kitchen support comfortable residential use. The separate one-bedroom gardener’s house could create additional accommodation for guests, staff or family members. Three garages and two horse boxes broaden the estate’s practical appeal. The landscaped grounds contain two ornate swimming pools, fountains and a Roman cistern. Olive trees, an orchard, fruit trees, terraces and natural areas reinforce the property’s Alentejo identity. The walled setting offers privacy while the surrounding countryside provides panoramic and rural views. A river, seasonal streams and winter or spring cascades contribute to a tranquil lifestyle close to nature. The Serra de São Mamede nature reserve offers access to hiking, bird watching and varied local wildlife. Crato is only 3 km away for daily convenience and connections to nearby communities. Portalegre is approximately 18 km away and provides shopping centres, restaurants and cinema facilities. Spain is around 30 km from the estate, while Lisbon is approximately 170 km away. Potential future uses could include a private retreat, heritage-led guest accommodation or an exclusive rural holiday concept, subject to permissions, costs and market research.
