Set in the peaceful Algarve countryside, this 14,680 m² plot (approximately 1.46 hectares) offers a rare opportunity to create a beautiful rural home in a tranquil and private setting. Ideally located between Silves and São Bartolomeu de Messines, the property combines the charm of country living with convenient access to nearby towns where all daily amenities can be found.

The land is flat and easily accessible via a private driveway, making it well suited for renovation or development. On the plot sits a registered pre-1951 farmhouse, offering the possibility to renovate the existing structure or develop a new residential project, subject to local regulations.

The property features mature trees throughout the land, creating a natural, serene atmosphere and plenty of shaded areas. A large traditional rainwater cistern provides water storage, and electricity is available nearby for connection, simplifying future development.

Surrounded by nature, the plot enjoys excellent privacy and a very quiet environment, making it ideal for those seeking a peaceful lifestyle in the Algarve countryside. Despite its tranquil setting, the property remains within a short drive of the historic town of Silves and the welcoming community of São Bartolomeu de Messines, where you will find supermarkets, restaurants, cafés, schools and other essential services.

Whether you are looking to restore a traditional Algarve farmhouse, build your dream countryside home, or invest in a unique rural property, this plot offers space, privacy and excellent potential in one of the region’s most authentic settings.

About Van Rulo Real Estate, Faro

Van Rulo Real Estate was created by a Portuguese and Dutch couple after more than a decade of experience in the property market. With over 10 years of knowledge and expertise, we felt it was the right time to build something of our own—a company that reflects who we are and what we believe in. That’s why we chose our own name. For us, real estate is not just about properties; it’s about people, trust, and meaningful connections.

We pride ourselves on being approachable and down-to-earth, offering guidance that is both professional and personal. With our multicultural background and ability to speak multiple languages, we are able to connect with clients from many different walks of life. At Van Rulo Real Estate, our mission is simple: to help you find not just a house, but a home—making the journey as welcoming and stress-free as possible.

At Van Rulo Real Estate, our vision is to provide clients with true and transparent information, every step of the way. We believe that buying, selling, or renting a home should never feel overwhelming — which is why we focus on clear guidance and genuine support. Beyond real estate, we connect you with the right people, whether that’s trusted legal advisors, property management companies, or other professionals you may need along your journey. Our goal is to be more than an agency — we are your partners in making confident and well-informed decisions.
