This rural tourism estate in the Algarve is offered for sale at €1,200,000. The property includes a pre-approved rural tourism project allowing construction of up to 2,000m² for a hotel or comparable hospitality development. It is located near Silves, in an elevated position within the Serra de Silves, and combines an existing farmhouse with extensive agricultural land. The estate covers approximately 287,280m², or 28.7 hectares. The current country house dates from before 1951 and provides three bedrooms and two bathrooms. Its 142m² living area and 188m² construction area offer a base for renovation or replacement. Buyers can continue using the land as a working farm or develop the approved tourism concept, subject to the relevant permissions and project conditions. Around 12,000 medronho trees provide an established agricultural asset and a distinctive Algarve setting. Citrus, pine and other fruit trees add further variety to the land. Two natural lakes, a stream, two boreholes and a well support the estate’s own water supply. An autodrip irrigation network extends across approximately 32km of pipes. The elevated summit delivers panoramic 360-degree views across the surrounding countryside. The property also has pre-approval for a swimming pool and a natural swimming lake. A carport, gravelled driveway and outdoor parking provide practical access for residents, guests or future visitors. The rustic fitted kitchen, lounge and dining area retain the character of a traditional farmhouse. A fireplace, storage room, septic tank and mains electricity support the existing accommodation. Silves is approximately 2.8km from the nearest school and 9km from a golf course. The nearest beach is around 17km away, while Faro Airport is approximately 63km from the estate. Its scale, agricultural infrastructure and hospitality potential may appeal to buyers seeking rental income or a longer-term tourism investment, although returns will depend on the final development, operation and market conditions.
