Madeira - This house is not on the coast, but in a pleasantly cool slightly elevated location in Madeira, with a great view! Here you can enjoy fresh air, unobstructed expansive views of the sea, valleys and landscapes, and a mild balanced climate all year round. Despite the quiet location, you are well connected on the south side of the island - you can quickly get onto the motorway, which brings you swiftly to the city of Funchal. Living in Madeira means one thing above all: security. The island is peaceful, calm, and far from the hustle and bustle and crime of many other places. Sun, sea and a healthy lifestyle without stress. Still, it is quick and inexpensive to get here by plane. This is exactly what convinced us - and we have not regretted it. Our daughter attends school here and is completely happy, not just because of the relaxed learning atmosphere, but also because of the friendly people, classmates, and teachers. Peace instead of noise - far from traffic and hustle. Fresh air instead of cruise ship and car exhaust - clear forest air, ideal for taking a deep breath. Cooler temperatures instead of heat - pleasant even in summer. In winter, 30 degrees in the pool or sauna. Expansive views instead of concrete walls - unobstructed views over nature and landscape, also from the jacuzzi. A retreat by the fireplace or with central heating - instead of big city stress - pure relaxation. Swim calmly or let the kids splash in your own warm pool. This spacious house with a guest apartment is located on the edge of a small community: a cafe bakery for morning coffee and cake, a restaurant, bars, a hairdresser, and a mini supermarket for daily needs. A short walk to the brasserie - a glass of red or white wine, a friendly chat - all reachable without any rush and without a car. Spacious, bright rooms with plenty of space in the kitchen, living room and gallery - a true home to feel good in, ready to move in, without construction hassle or waiting time. Ideal as a permanent residence or a stylish holiday home, with monthly ancillary costs of only about 170 Euro (electricity, water, property tax, insurance, waste disposal, etc.). Photovoltaic and heat pumps ensure environmental friendliness (B plus). Two green gardens with a natural ambiance - here you live far from the new build monotony in a mature villa, ready to move in and completely free of building permit stress. A large raised bed next to lemons, bananas, oranges, kiwi, passion fruit, ginger, turmeric, aloe, lemongrass, herbs, and vegetables. A cozy coffee spot with a fantastic view of the Desertas Islands (Ilheu Chao, Deserta Grande, and Bugio). The spacious fitness and wellness area: A heated indoor pool with a counter current system invites you for a relaxing swim, while the versatile sauna - as a steam, hot, or warm sauna with heated stone benches - provides soothing recreation. An unused jacuzzi offers additional comfort. And the best part: just a step outside, and you are under palm trees - a fantastic backdrop for outdoor yoga or meditation. This is also where the barbecue area is located and a garden with an automatic irrigation system. The entire property is regularly maintained by a reliable gardener - taking over the service is possible. A Levada hiking trail starts here - ideal for daily walks or hikes from 1 to 20 kilometers, for example, to Funchal Monte. Enjoy movement in nature. Bright, high rooms, a large living area with a separable kitchen and a glazed terrace. Two comfortable suites, a total of four bathrooms, a pantry, a garage, a storage room, a utility room (washing machine, dryer, laundry, provisions, cleaning). All in all, plenty of space and privacy for family and guests. A fully equipped fitted kitchen with an adjacent pantry. A seating area with direct access to the terrace. Central heating in every room, some with underfloor heating. Heat pumps, photovoltaic, and photothermal systems for an efficient energy supply.
