For buyers searching for property for sale near Silves with orchards and its own water supply, this 28.7-hectare estate is a compelling match. Priced at €1,200,000, it includes a three-bedroom farmhouse, productive land and extensive water infrastructure. The estate offers a rare combination of agricultural space, rural living and possible tourism development in the Algarve. Its elevated location in the Serra de Silves provides broad 360-degree views over the countryside. The existing pre-1951 country house requires renovation but has 142 square metres of living area. There are three bedrooms and two bathrooms, together with a lounge, dining area and rustic fully fitted kitchen. The total construction area is 188 square metres. The orchard landscape includes approximately 12,000 medronho trees. Citrus, pine and other fruit trees add further agricultural diversity. Terraced sections of the plot can support cultivation and create attractive walking routes. Water is supplied by two natural lakes, a stream, two boreholes and a well. An autodrip irrigation network with around 32 kilometres of pipes serves the orchards and garden. Mains electricity is connected, and the property uses a septic tank for drainage. A mains water connection may be possible if required. The fenced garden, carport and gravelled driveway provide practical facilities for residents and visitors. There is pre-approval for a pool and a natural swimming lake, subject to the relevant conditions. A pre-approved rural tourism project could allow development of up to 2,000 square metres, replacing the current farmhouse if desired. This creates potential for guest accommodation, an agritourism business or a private estate, subject to detailed viability and licensing checks. Silves town is close by, while the nearest school is 2.8 kilometres away and golf is 9 kilometres away. With the beach 17 kilometres away and Faro Airport 63 kilometres distant, the location balances rural privacy with Algarve accessibility.
