An Algarve estate for sale with a pre-approved rural hotel project and private water supply is available near Silves for €1,200,000. The property combines a 28.728-hectare plot, a three-bedroom farmhouse and an opportunity to develop rural tourism facilities. For buyers searching for a large estate with water independence and hospitality potential, this Silves property is a strong candidate. The current country house dates from before 1951 and provides 142m² of living space. It has two bathrooms, a rustic fitted kitchen and a lounge-dining room. The existing building may be renovated, or replaced through the rural tourism project, subject to the relevant permissions. The pre-approved application allows for a hotel project with construction of up to 2,000m². This creates scope for an owner-operated retreat, guest accommodation or a broader countryside hospitality concept. The estate is already a working fruit farm rather than an undeveloped parcel of land. Its agricultural assets include approximately 12,000 medronho trees, citrus trees, pine trees and other fruit varieties. Several terraces support cultivation and irrigation across the hillside. Private water resources include two boreholes, a well, two natural lakes and a stream. An autodrip irrigation network extends for approximately 32km. Mains electricity is connected, and a septic tank serves the existing house. The elevated position provides expansive views over the surrounding Algarve countryside. The site lies next to the Serra de Silves Natural Park, offering a peaceful setting for rural tourism guests. Silves town is nearby, with schools around 2.8km away and golf approximately 9km distant. The coast is roughly 17km away, and Faro Airport can be reached in about 63km. Contact us to investigate the planning documentation, commercial potential and viewing arrangements.
