This Algarve estate near Silves offers a pre-approved hotel project and 360-degree countryside views at an asking price of €1,200,000. The 28.7-hectare hillside property combines a working fruit farm with an existing three-bedroom country house. It is suited to investors and lifestyle buyers looking for a large rural estate with development potential. The pre-approved proposal provides for a rural tourism or hotel project with up to 2,000 square metres of construction area. The proposed scheme could replace the current pre-1951 house, subject to planning, licensing and technical confirmation. The existing home contains three bedrooms and two bathrooms. Its 142-square-metre living area and 188-square-metre construction area offer a practical base during future planning or renovation. The rustic fitted kitchen, lounge and dining space retain the character expected of an Algarve farmhouse. The estate currently functions as a working fruit farm with approximately 12,000 medronho trees. Citrus, pine and other fruit trees enrich the land and could support an authentic rural tourism concept. Two natural lakes and a stream contribute to the estate’s independent water resources. Additional infrastructure includes two boreholes, a well and an autodrip irrigation system with 32 kilometres of pipework. These features may reduce reliance on external agricultural water sources, subject to inspection and ongoing maintenance. The highest point of the land creates expansive views across the Serra de Silves countryside. Pre-approval also exists for a swimming pool and a natural swimming lake. A carport, fenced garden and gravelled drive with several parking spaces support guest or residential use. The property lies beside the Serra de Silves Natural Park, offering a peaceful setting close to nature. Silves and its medieval heritage are nearby, with a school 2.8 kilometres away and golf 9 kilometres away. The nearest beach is approximately 17 kilometres from the estate, while Faro Airport is about 63 kilometres away. Future accommodation could generate rental potential and support a tourism business, although ROI requires a detailed feasibility and operating assessment.
