You can invest in a working fruit farm with 12,000 medronho trees near the Algarve coast through this €1,200,000 estate outside Silves. The property covers 28.7 hectares and includes a three-bedroom farmhouse, orchards, water resources and rural tourism potential. It offers buyers a distinctive combination of agricultural production, countryside living and possible visitor accommodation. The estate sits in an elevated position within the rolling hills of the Serra de Silves. Its summit provides 360-degree views across the surrounding Algarve landscape. The existing pre-1951 country house is suitable for renovation and contains three bedrooms and two bathrooms. It also has a lounge and dining area, a rustic fully fitted kitchen and 142 square metres of living space. The overall construction area is 188 square metres. The productive land includes about 12,000 medronho trees alongside citrus, pine and other fruit trees. Two natural lakes, a stream, two boreholes and a well contribute to a private water supply. An autodrip irrigation network extends across approximately 32 kilometres of pipework. This infrastructure is valuable for maintaining orchards, although buyers should arrange independent checks of capacity and condition. A pre-approved rural tourism or hotel project allows for up to 2,000 square metres of construction area. The proposal could provide a route towards guest accommodation, subject to final permissions and a commercially sound business plan. There is also pre-approval for a pool and natural swimming lake, which could enhance the visitor experience. Practical features include a fenced garden, carport, gravelled drive and parking for several cars. Silves town is close enough for daily amenities, services and historic attractions. The nearest school is 2.8 kilometres away, golf is 9 kilometres away and the beach is approximately 17 kilometres away. Faro Airport can be reached in around 63 kilometres, supporting access for international owners and guests. Potential income may come from fruit production, rural accommodation or a combined agritourism model, but projected returns should be professionally verified.
