For buyers searching for property for sale near Silves with farmland, natural lakes and an independent water supply, this 28.7-hectare estate is a compelling option. Priced at €1,200,000, it combines a three-bedroom country house with orchards, medronho plantations and significant development potential. The land lies just outside the medieval town of Silves, in the rolling hills of the Serra de Silves. Its natural setting provides privacy while keeping local amenities within easy reach. The existing pre-1951 farmhouse has 142m² of living space and 188m² of construction. It includes two bathrooms, a rustic fitted kitchen and a lounge-dining room. The house can be renovated as a private residence, agricultural base or part of a wider rural tourism plan. Approximately 12,000 medronho trees form the core of the working fruit farm. Citrus, pine and other fruit trees create productive orchards across the terraced land. Two natural lakes help supply water for the orchards and gardens. A stream, two boreholes and a well provide additional water resources. The autodrip irrigation system includes roughly 32km of pipework for efficient agricultural use. Mains electricity is already available, and the property has a septic tank. A connection to mains water may also be possible. The highest part of the estate offers uninterrupted 360-degree countryside views. Pre-approval also exists for a pool and a natural swimming lake, subject to the applicable project requirements. The property is approximately 2.8km from a school, 9km from golf and 17km from the beach. Faro Airport can be reached at a distance of approximately 63km.
