Buying this working fruit farm near Silves gives you 28.7 hectares, a three-bedroom farmhouse and a pre-approved rural tourism project for €1,200,000. It suits buyers seeking an Algarve lifestyle property with agricultural assets and the potential to develop a hospitality business. The estate is located in the Serra de Silves, close to the historic medieval town of Silves. Its elevated hillside position offers privacy, tranquillity and panoramic 360-degree countryside views. The current farmhouse provides 142m² of living area within 188m² of construction. Three bedrooms and two bathrooms make it suitable for family occupation, a management base or guest accommodation during a future project. The rustic fully fitted kitchen opens the home to an authentic rural lifestyle. A lounge and dining area provide a comfortable central living space. The property also includes storage, a fireplace and a fenced garden. Farming infrastructure is already in place across the extensive grounds. Approximately 12,000 medronho trees are complemented by citrus, pine and other fruit trees. Two lakes, a stream, two boreholes and a well help support the private water supply. The 32km autodrip irrigation system is designed to distribute water across the orchards and terraces. Mains electricity and a septic tank are installed, while connection to mains water may be possible. The rural tourism application could replace the Pre-1951 house with a project of up to 2,000m². That development scope may support holiday accommodation, rural retreats or an agritourism venture, subject to final approvals and investment assessment. Pre-approval is also noted for a swimming pool and a natural swimming lake. The beach lies 17km away, golf is approximately 9km away and the nearest school is 2.8km away.
