About this property
Casa do Ramal do Calhau - 1937 stone house with annex and 1,600 m2 of urban land, views to São Jorge
Description
Casa do Ramal do Calhau, in Piedade on the island of Pico, Azores. A two-bedroom house of 125 m2 (approx. 1,345 sq ft), built in 1937 and renovated in 1985, with a detached stone annex and 1,600 m2 of land (approx. 0.4 acre) classified in its entirety as urban land under the Lajes do Pico municipal plan (pdm: Espaço urbano a consolidar). Open views over the Atlantic and across to the neighbouring island of São Jorge. Five hundred metres from the natural sea pools.
What is already built
The main house is built in the traditional Azorean manner and is in good, immediately habitable condition. It was renovated in 1985 and now requires only selective updating - no structural work.
The stone annex is a separate volume with its original masonry intact. It requires full conversion, which means complete design freedom: A stone shell ready to become a second dwelling, a studio, or a letting unit entirely independent of the main house.
What can still be built
The real value of this property lies in the green ground to the rear. A generous, open area that allows the existing buildings to be extended and a small compound to be formed: Your own home on one side, a letting unit on the other, with separate access and privacy between the two.
What makes this viable is that all 1,600 m2 sit inside the urban perimeter. That sets this property apart from the majority of what is available in the region, which sits on agricultural land. The urban classification also permits the plot to be subdivided at a later stage.
Any extension, conversion or subdivision is subject to municipal planning consent and to the parameters of the pdm in force.
The setting
Piedade is the eastern tip of Pico, in the municipality of Lajes do Pico: Cultivated slopes falling towards the channel, with São Jorge always on the horizon. The natural sea pools are 500 metres away, reached directly along the lane. Walking trails nearby.
Ways to use it
Live in it and earn from it - occupy the main house and convert the annex into short-term letting (Alojamento Local).
A holiday home in stages - move into the main house straight away and plan the annex and the extension at your own pace.
Investment - create a two-unit compound from the ground up, using the building capacity of the urban land.
