Description

A Unique Eco-Friendly Residence with Breathtaking Ocean Views in Calheta, Madeira

Introducing a distinctive property embodying unparalleled living spaces, fully equipped and ready to warmly welcome its new residents. Located in the sun-drenched southwest of Calheta, nestled within an idyllic village at an elevation of 320 meters, this villa offers spectacular, unobstructed views of the ocean and surrounding mountains. Built on solid granite rock, this residence epitomizes ecological living, having been extensively upgraded with eco-conscious renovation principles and building biology. Walls painted with lime paint, complemented by biowax-treated wooden surfaces and terracotta floors, create an optimal environment for those with allergies/sensitivities.

The house comprises three distinct apartments, each facing south with individual entrances, balconies, and sun-drenched terraces. The outdoor areas, including the garden, are monitored for added security.

Currently divided into three apartments, each space is equipped with high-quality, allergy-friendly materials and mosquito nets for added comfort. An innovative design allows for the combination of Apartments 1 and 2 through a common staircase, offering a combined living space of approximately 170m2. This feature offers flexibility in living arrangements, with Apartment 3 serving as a perfect guest apartment. Additionally, the roof is fully insulated and developed, part of which serves as a living/bedroom, with the remaining areas used for storage.
