Panoramic seascape villa surrounded by a mature garden

Contemporary, spacious and functional, this three bedroom south-west facing villa, is located in the parish of Arco da Calheta. It offers you the possibility to enjoy the perfect sunsets every day from a priviledged spot, whether relaxing in the heated swimming pool surrounded by the variety of flowers, or inside, in the welcoming living areas or bedrooms.

Just 30 minutes from Funchal, and 6 minutes from restaurants & cafés, this three bedroom villa was completed in 2008 to the owners' own design and specifications. The villa's layout guarantees that the position of the winter sun will keep the villa warm, with the sun shining in through the south facing windows... in the summer, the opposite is the case, with the sun positioned overhead, keeping the villa cooler in the shade.

The location of the 11 x 3 meter heated swimming pool, and the adjacent BBQ area allows you to make the most of the outside space and enjoy the 180º uninterrupted views of the ocean and village. A small bathroom, located next to the built-in barbecue, also serves the swiming pool and sun lounge. The pool has a solar cover, a heat pump and electric heater provide additional heating when required. Solar panels provide domestic hot water supported by an immersion heater.

The kitchen's location was also carefully studied to be closer to the outside dining area. Fully fitted, this spacious open-plan kitchen/dining area, as the living areas to the east, also benefit from the large sliding glass doors which provide natural light all day long. All external glass doors have electrical shutters for extra comfort despite also having traditional sun blinds installed for design purposes.

The open plan living area is equipped with a wood-burning stove, and the kitchen and bathrooms havecomfortable  under floor heating, despite the winters in Arco da Calheta being far from harsh.

The main wooden staircase up to the first floor and down to the garage, located in the main entrance hall, is wide and light. Living rooms and bedrooms all feature wooden floors, whilst bathrooms and kitchen have ceramic tiling.  

In the upper level, the spacious master suite has a fitted wardrobe, ensuite bathroom and private balcony. The corridor leading to the bedrooms, offers the most stunning views to the mountains and to the private and well-maintained rear garden. The two further bedrooms have a shared bathroom and a south facing veranda.

The basement comprises a lenghty laundry, guest WC and garage for two cars. Next to these facilities, there are two further rooms for technical and storage purposes. Levada water is available for the garden's irrigation.

This villa is licenced for local lodging (AL - Alojamento Local) and can be sold fully furnished for rental purposes.
