This Silves estate is a distinctive Algarve property with pre-approval for a rural tourism development of up to 2,000m². It is offered for sale at €1,200,000 with 28.728 hectares of land and an existing three-bedroom farmhouse. The approved concept allows the current pre-1951 country house to be replaced if the buyer proceeds with the hospitality project. The property sits in an elevated position in the rolling hills of the Serra de Silves. Its summit provides uninterrupted 360-degree countryside views. The land is currently used as a working fruit farm, creating an established agricultural base. Around 12,000 medronho trees form one of the estate’s most significant assets. Citrus orchards, pine trees and other fruit trees add variety to the landscape. Water security is supported by two natural lakes, a stream, two boreholes and a well. An autodrip irrigation network extends across approximately 32km of piping. The existing farmhouse includes three bedrooms, two bathrooms and around 142m² of living area. Its total construction area is approximately 188m² and renovation may provide an interim residential or management solution. The rural tourism project could suit buyers planning guest accommodation, wellness stays or an agricultural retreat, subject to the relevant permissions. The estate lies next to the Serra de Silves Natural Park and offers a tranquil setting for visitors. Silves town is nearby for shops, services, restaurants and historic attractions. The Algarve coastline and nearest beach are approximately 17km away. Golf is available around 9km from the property, and Faro Airport is approximately 63km away. Pre-approval for a pool and natural swimming lake could further enhance the proposed visitor experience. Mains electricity, a septic tank, carport and gravelled access add practical convenience. Buyers should confirm the planning status, permitted use, construction conditions and commercial forecasts before committing. Contact us to obtain further information and schedule a site visit.
