This Algarve estate for sale near Silves includes citrus and medronho orchards, two natural lakes, two boreholes, a well and its own water supply. Priced at €1,200,000, the property extends across 287,280m² and is designed for buyers who value productive land and self-sufficient rural infrastructure. The estate currently operates as a working fruit farm in the hills of the Serra de Silves. Around 12,000 medronho trees form the principal plantation. Citrus, pine and other fruit trees add variety to the agricultural landscape. Two lakes collect and supply water for the orchards. A stream helps irrigate the gardens and trees across the property. Two boreholes and a private well provide additional water resources. The autodrip irrigation system includes approximately 32 kilometres of pipework. This infrastructure may help support continued farming or future rural tourism use, subject to appropriate management and permissions. A pre-1951 country house sits on the land and is available for renovation. The farmhouse contains three bedrooms, two bathrooms and 142m² of living area. Its total construction area is approximately 188m². The elevated setting creates broad 360-degree views over the Algarve countryside. A pre-approved rural tourism project could replace the existing house with up to 2,000m² of construction. That planning potential may appeal to buyers considering guest accommodation, an agritourism venture or a private rural retreat. The property is close to the medieval town of Silves and the Serra de Silves Natural Park. Local golf facilities are approximately 9 kilometres away, while the coast is around 17 kilometres away. Faro Airport is approximately 63 kilometres from the estate. Contact us today to explore this water-rich Algarve farm and its long-term agricultural or tourism potential.
