This Algarve property offers 28.728 hectares of land, approximately 12,000 medronho trees and potential for rural tourism. Priced at €1,200,000, the estate near Silves is suited to buyers seeking a large agricultural holding with an existing farmhouse and a pre-approved tourism concept. It provides a rare combination of productive land, water resources and development possibilities in the western Algarve. The working fruit farm is positioned in the rolling hills of the Serra de Silves. The elevated location creates 360-degree panoramic views over the surrounding countryside. Medronho trees form the main plantation, while citrus, pine and other fruit trees broaden the agricultural potential. The property includes several terraces that can support cultivation and landscaped outdoor areas. Two natural lakes supply water to the orchards and enhance the rural setting. A river or stream crosses the land and feeds the garden and trees. Two boreholes and a well provide additional sources for irrigation and general estate management. The autodrip irrigation system incorporates approximately 32km of pipes. Buyers can therefore explore agricultural income, lifestyle use or a combination of both, subject to due diligence. The existing country house has three bedrooms and two bathrooms. With 142m² of living area and 188m² of construction area, it offers a practical starting point for renovation. The Pre-1951 house may be replaced under an applied project for rural tourism. That project has pre-approval for a hotel with up to 2,000m² of construction area, subject to planning confirmation. Pre-approval is also indicated for a pool and a natural swimming lake. Silves is close enough for everyday services, historic sightseeing and local dining. Beaches are approximately 17km away, golf is about 9km away and Faro Airport is roughly 63km away. Rural accommodation could provide future rental potential for guests seeking nature, agriculture and Algarve countryside experiences.
