Funchal, Madeira, Portugal

A Legacy in Madeira

Some properties impress with their size. Others with their location. And then there are properties like this one, which tell a story, preserve a rare heritage and offer truly extraordinary potential.

Set within a magnificent estate covering approximately 13,100 m², this fabulous country estate combines historical heritage, nature, privacy and versatility, establishing itself as one of the most exclusive and unique properties currently available in Madeira.

At one end of the estate stands the main house, comprising four bedrooms, all with direct access to the outdoors, allowing a constant connection to the surrounding gardens. The spacious, fully glazed living area offers unrivalled natural light and an absolutely inspiring natural setting, where the greenery of the landscape takes centre stage, in perfect harmony with the magnificent view over the Port of Funchal.

Complementing the property is a traditional Madeiran three-bedroom house, fully restored whilst preserving all the authenticity and typical architecture of the region.

The property is further enhanced by an indoor swimming pool, ideal for enjoyment all year round, and an outdoor swimming pool currently nearing completion, offering the future owner the opportunity to finish this leisure area in line with their own design and vision. The property also features enclosed indoor parking, ensuring comfort and security, complemented by several outdoor parking spaces, ideal for accommodating family, guests or clients should a tourism or events project be developed.

One of the major highlights is the impressive multi-purpose hall measuring around 200 m², an extremely versatile space that can be adapted for a wide range of purposes: events, exhibitions, a cultural venue, a wellness centre, tourist accommodation, a charming restaurant or any other unique project.

The true jewel of this estate is the Chapel of Nossa Senhora da Alegria, built in 1608 and restored in 1886, lending the property historical, architectural and heritage value of immense significance.

Throughout the estate, stone footpaths wind their way through gardens carefully integrated into the natural landscape, dotted with centuries-old trees, sculptures and spots of rare beauty, creating an atmosphere of tranquillity, contemplation and absolute exclusivity.

The size of the property, the richness of its existing heritage, the natural surroundings and the diversity of its buildings make this estate an ideal setting for a prestigious private residence, a boutique hotel, a nature-based tourism venture, a venue for exclusive events or any other high-value-added investment, subject, of course, to the necessary licences and authorisations from the relevant authorities.

More than just a country estate, this is a property with soul. A place where history, nature and architecture come together to create a truly unique heritage and absolutely exceptional potential, ready to bring a memorable project to life.

There are properties that are bought. And there are properties that are passed down from generation to generation. This is one of them.
