This property for sale near Silves offers pre-approved rural hotel development potential with permission for a project of up to 2,000m². Priced at €1,200,000, the estate includes 28.7 hectares, a three-bedroom farmhouse and an established working fruit farm. It is an appealing option for buyers seeking an Algarve rural tourism investment rather than a standard country home. The land occupies an elevated position in the rolling hills of the Serra de Silves. The medieval town of Silves is nearby, providing local services, heritage attractions and a strong tourism setting. The estate borders the Serra de Silves Natural Park and enjoys a peaceful countryside atmosphere. The existing Pre-1951 house can be retained and renovated or replaced through the proposed rural tourism scheme. Its current accommodation comprises three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The 142m² living area includes a rustic fully fitted kitchen and a lounge and dining space. A storage room and fireplace contribute to the farmhouse’s practical character. The proposed development could allow a new hospitality operation tailored to rural holidays, nature stays or wellness retreats. The planning opportunity should be assessed with the relevant authorities, architects and professional advisers before purchase. Agricultural assets include approximately 12,000 medronho trees, citrus trees, pine trees and other fruit varieties. Two lakes and a stream create attractive natural features while helping supply the orchards. Two boreholes and a well provide additional water sources for the estate. An autodrip irrigation system with around 32km of pipes supports efficient cultivation across the terraces. A pool and natural swimming lake are also included within the noted pre-approval potential. Guests or residents would be approximately 17km from the beach and 9km from golf. A school is located about 2.8km away, and Faro Airport is 63km distant.
