20th Century Manor House In Cano, Alentejo

This property was built in the 1920s and has been occupied by the same family until 2018. The main entrance is from the street that runs along the market place. We enter through a beautiful romantic patio of 635m2 with a very nice fountain in the center, and there’s an old wash tank in the back, close to a beautiful weeping willow.

The main building with its splendid pink facade has a footprint of more than 1000m2 and is rectangular with one floor. It has three entrances: one from the patio along its length, one from the side, plus a direct entrance from the street. It has ten rooms on each level, mainly small living rooms and bedrooms, one kitchen and one bathroom. All the rooms are very colorful and have tastefully hand decorated ceilings that have been patiently repainted by the current owner. We can access the first floor by an imposing marble staircase or by the service staircase. Upstairs, we find balconies running along the whole length of three of its facades. The attic with many separations has a beautiful wooden frame and gives access to a small tower overlooking the village.
This building is 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.

Outside, on the left of the patio, we find a large shed of 85m2 and hunting dogs kennels, behind which there is another small patio and a barn of 113.80m2 with two divisions. On the right side of the house there is a garage and a garden through which the other outbuildings can be accessed.
The agricultural land of 2,45 ha is rectangular and has a well and a water tank attached to the surrounding wall at the back of the property, in the center of a small village.

Its noble style, the care with which it has been preserved and the amplitude of the land make it a charming property that you can renovate to your taste, for a touristic project for example.

It is located in Cano, the oldest village in the municipality of Sousel, in the district of Portalegre. This village is known for its extensive olive groves and for the production and exportation of olive oil. It is located only 20km away from the city of Estremoz, well-known for its gastronomy, its market and its social life with a large international community. It takes 45 minutes to reach Évora, the capital of Alentejo, two hours to Lisbon and 45 minutes to the Spanish border.
