You can buy this 28.7-hectare farmhouse estate near Silves for €1,200,000. Set in an elevated position in the Serra de Silves, it combines a three-bedroom country house with panoramic countryside views. It is an excellent option for buyers seeking extensive land, agricultural activity and rural tourism potential in the Algarve. The existing pre-1951 house provides 142 square metres of living space and 188 square metres of construction area. It includes three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a lounge and dining area, and a rustic fully fitted kitchen. The property is currently a working fruit farm with approximately 12,000 medronho trees. Citrus, pine and other fruit trees add variety to the productive landscape. Several terraces create practical areas for cultivation and rural enjoyment. Two natural lakes, a stream, two boreholes and a well provide valuable water resources. An autodrip irrigation system extends across approximately 32 kilometres of pipes. This independent water supply can support the orchards and garden while mains water connection may also be possible. The summit delivers 360-degree views across the surrounding Algarve countryside. A fenced garden, carport and gravelled drive with parking for several vehicles add everyday convenience. There is also pre-approval for a swimming pool and a natural swimming lake. Buyers can retain and renovate the farmhouse or explore the approved rural tourism concept. The project allows for a hotel or rural tourism development with up to 2,000 square metres of construction area. Such flexibility may create rental income potential, subject to final approvals, operating plans and market assessment.
