Description

For a very affordable price, this is your chance to build your dream home, or development of villas, right by the beach with glorious views of the ocean and Santa Luzia.

Casa Verde is pleased to offer this bargain plot, priced at under 70 Euros per square metres. The paperwork and ownership are all in order and straightforward, with a single private owner.
The island has an abundant supply of high-quality contractors and materials, and benefits from low labour costs.

Positioned just south of the fishing village of Calhau, this plot is on the eastern tip and fabulous coast of Sao Vicente, with the best views of the uninhabited island of Santa Luzia available anywhere. With dramatic mountain backdrops and protection from the winds, this is a very special location indeed.

With level, firm ground and electricity connection on the edge of this plot, it is a sound place to build a residential property. That is the only stipulation: this is not for Commercial, Industrial or Hotel use; it is for a residence - or two, as you have half a square kilometre for construction.It is almost opposite Chez Loutcha, a restaurant/bar with outdoor seating, and some of the neighbouring properties show exactly what could be done here. Typically, the residences nearby are 2.5 storeys high, and you could build a dream private garden, complete with pool.
Calhau remains unspoilt by tourism and is ripe for development. It does have some derelict and storm damaged properties, but it also has some exquisite homes, a thriving bar/restaurant and shops. It is largely a fishing village, with a football pitch and a very welcoming community.
Right opposite this property is a small, sandy beach, while a few hundred yards away is a natural swimming pool created by lava flows, that cut off the Atlantic waves, leaving warm pools in which to play and watch the fish. You'll be in the company of local children and fisherman, with few other visitors. This stretch of glorious coast is ideal for fisherfolk, surfers and hikers.

Just a 20-minute drive from Mindelo, the thriving capital of the island with its colonial architecture, marina, international airport, fabulous culture, dining and shopping, Calhau has sandy and volcanic beaches, a protected cove, turtle nesting sites but also restaurants, shops and bars of its own. It is under 2.5 kilometres - an easy walk - from the long, sandy beach at Praia Grande, with its spectacular dunes and the charming Baia das Gatas.

Sao Vicente is largely regarded as the cultural capital of Cabo Verde. With a mix of beaches and mountains, rivers and extinct volcanic peaks, it is one of the smaller islands in the archipelago. Around 75,000 of its 80,000 residents live in Mindelo, the vibrant home of Carnivale, music and the arts. Outside of Mindelo, the scenery varies widely, from the dramatic cliffs and peaks, to the Monte Grande national park. The temperature is a pleasant average 24-25 degrees Celsius year round, rarely falling below 20°C even at night, and rarely getting hotter than 29°. With direct international flights from Europe and Morocco plus its cruise port, Sao Vicente is a highly desirable island in which to invest and build

About Casa Verde Homes LDA, Cabo Verde

We live, work and play on the island of Sal, Cabo Verde. Like many others, we came here on holiday and, unusually for us, couldn’t resist the urge to come back again, and again. Could it be the year-round sunshine and warm seas? Could it be the people? The low rise, low impact development? The amazing marine life? Yes. It’s All of these. Having been restless travellers and digital nomads for many years, Cabo Verde called us home, and it wasn’t long before we called IT home. Passionate marketeers all our lives, but ONLY of things we believe in and love, it wasn’t long before we were working in real estate and saw a real gap in the market. Our team is deliberately multinational, multilingual, enthusiastic, knowledgeable and personable. Our company is not a global brand with offshoots in Cabo Verde. It’s not a company sitting abroad, taking the money out of Cabo Verde. It’s rooted here
