This 28.7-hectare farmhouse near Silves is available to purchase for €1,200,000. The elevated estate includes a three-bedroom, two-bathroom country house, panoramic countryside views and an applied rural tourism project with pre-approval for up to 2,000m². It is designed for buyers searching for exceptional land, privacy and long-term Algarve investment potential. The property extends across approximately 287,280m² in the Serra de Silves. Its hillside summit offers 360-degree views across the rolling landscape. The existing Pre-1951 farmhouse is suitable for renovation and provides 142m² of living space. The total construction area is 188m². A rustic fully fitted kitchen, lounge-dining room and fireplace retain the atmosphere of a traditional country home. The estate is currently a working fruit farm with approximately 12,000 medronho trees. Citrus orchards, pine trees and other fruit trees add productive and ecological value. Two natural lakes, a stream, two boreholes and a well contribute to the property’s own water supply. An autodrip irrigation system uses around 32km of pipes to serve the terraces, orchards and garden. Mains electricity and a septic tank are already available. Connection to mains water may also be possible, subject to confirmation. The rural tourism project could replace the existing house with a hotel development of up to 2,000m², subject to all necessary approvals and conditions. Pre-approval is also recorded for a swimming pool and a natural swimming lake. This creates scope to investigate a specialist retreat, countryside hotel or farm-based accommodation concept. Silves is nearby, with its medieval heritage, shops, services and restaurants. The nearest beach is 17km away, while golf facilities are approximately 9km from the property. Faro Airport can be reached in around 63km, supporting access for international guests and owners. Potential rental returns and future ROI will depend on the final design, operating model, costs and approvals.
