For buyers searching for properties for sale near Silves with pre-approved hotel development potential, this 28.7-hectare estate is a compelling option. It is available for €1,200,000 and includes an applied project for rural tourism with permitted construction of up to 2,000m². The opportunity centres on a pre-1951 three-bedroom farmhouse that can be replaced if the approved tourism concept is pursued. The estate occupies an elevated hillside location in the Serra de Silves. Its summit provides 360-degree panoramic views across the surrounding countryside. The existing house has 142m² of living area and 188m² of total construction. Accommodation currently comprises three bedrooms and two bathrooms. Buyers can retain and renovate the farmhouse or investigate the planned hospitality development. The proposed scheme offers a basis for creating a substantial rural tourism or hotel-style operation. Any development would remain subject to the applicable planning conditions, licences and implementation requirements. Approximately 12,000 medronho trees give the land an established agricultural identity. Citrus orchards, pine trees and additional fruit trees broaden the estate’s rural tourism appeal. Water infrastructure includes two natural lakes, a stream, two boreholes and a well. A 32-kilometre autodrip irrigation system supports the orchards and other planted areas. Mains electricity is connected, and the property uses a septic tank. There is also potential to connect to mains water if required. Silves is close enough for access to shops, services, schools and the town’s medieval heritage. Golf is approximately 9 kilometres away, and the nearest beach is around 17 kilometres from the property. This combination of planning potential, agricultural land and Algarve accessibility may suit an investor seeking a distinctive hospitality project.
