This three-bedroom Algarve farmhouse with rural tourism potential is listed for €1,200,000. Located near Silves, the property offers a substantial 28.7-hectare estate and a pre-approved project that could replace the existing house. It may suit buyers calculating the cost of a countryside home alongside future hospitality or agricultural income potential. The current country house dates from before 1951 and is offered for renovation. Inside, there are three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a lounge and dining room, and a rustic fitted kitchen. The accommodation provides 142 square metres of living area within 188 square metres of total construction. Its single-storey layout could be adapted for private use, a rural retreat or part of a wider tourism plan. The pre-approval allows for a hotel project with up to 2,000 square metres of construction area. Any implementation would remain subject to the applicable planning process and final licensing requirements. The estate is already operating as a working fruit farm. Around 12,000 medronho trees provide a distinctive agricultural asset with potential commercial relevance. Citrus, pine and additional fruit trees contribute to the character and productivity of the land. Two lakes and a stream support the orchards, gardens and wider irrigation system. Water infrastructure also includes two boreholes, a well and approximately 32 kilometres of autodrip irrigation pipes. From its elevated hillside position, the land enjoys 360-degree countryside views. The location beside the Serra de Silves Natural Park offers privacy without complete isolation. Silves is nearby, with the closest school about 2.8 kilometres away and golf approximately 9 kilometres distant. Algarve beaches can be reached in around 17 kilometres, and Faro Airport is roughly 63 kilometres away. Rental accommodation, agritourism and hospitality use could offer investment potential, although projected ROI should be confirmed through a professional feasibility study.
