Investing in this working medronho farm near Silves offers agricultural scale, an established water system and pre-approved rural tourism potential. Priced at €1,200,000, the Algarve estate covers approximately 28.7 hectares and includes a three-bedroom farmhouse. It could suit buyers seeking a diversified rural property rather than a standard holiday home. Approximately 12,000 medronho trees provide the estate's principal agricultural feature. Citrus, pine and other fruit trees broaden the productive and environmental appeal. The current working farm may offer opportunities to continue agricultural activity or develop complementary visitor experiences. Two lakes, a stream, two boreholes and a well provide valuable on-site water resources. The autodrip irrigation system uses around 32km of pipes to serve terraces, orchards and gardens. This infrastructure can support ongoing cultivation, although buyers should assess operating costs and yields independently. A pre-approved rural tourism project allows consideration of hotel construction up to 2,000m², subject to final planning and licensing requirements. The project could create future rental, hospitality or retreat opportunities in a sought-after Algarve region. There is also pre-approval for a pool and a natural swimming lake, subject to confirmation. The existing Pre-1951 farmhouse can instead be renovated as a characterful private home or operational base. It offers three bedrooms, two bathrooms, 142m² of living area and 188m² of construction. The elevated summit provides 360-degree views across the Serra de Silves countryside. The medieval town of Silves is nearby, providing access to shops, services, history and local culture. Golf is approximately 9km away, while the nearest beach is around 17km from the estate. Faro Airport can be reached at approximately 63km, supporting access for international owners and potential guests. The combination of land, water, farming and tourism may provide several long-term income strategies, but professional feasibility advice is recommended.
