Description
In the heart of Terra do Pão, in the quiet parish of São Caetano, stands this impressive example of traditional Pico architecture — a two-storey house entirely built in basalt stone, with 84 m², set within a landscape where mountain meets ocean.
Less than 100 metres in a straight line from the sea and just a 2-minute walk from São Caetano Bay, the property offers views over the Atlantic and a privileged location in one of the Azores' most authentic territories. 1 km from the Porto das Baixas bathing area, 20 minutes from Madalena Village and Lajes do Pico Village, and 30 minutes from Pico Airport, this house combines serene isolation with genuine accessibility.
The construction in irregular basalt masonry, the ceramic tile roof and the white-framed grid windows are distinctive features of Pico's vernacular architecture — a heritage that the Autonomous Region of the Azores has been recognising and protecting. This house is a rare and well-preserved example of this building identity.
For those seeking a restoration project with character, authenticity and potential — whether for personal residence, local accommodation or niche tourism investment — this property represents a singular opportunity in Pico's real estate market.
