Some places make you imagine a different way of life. This plot in Gaula is one of them. Offering a total area of 1,590 m², including 687 m² identified as the portion designated for building, this plot gives you room to picture your future home, a garden and a vegetable patch, surrounded by nature. The designated portion is not the permitted floor area: the size of any house remains subject to planning regulations and project approval. Imagine a home designed around you, with windows overlooking the Atlantic, mountains as your backdrop and space to breathe. At approximately 575 metres above sea level, enjoy fresh air and peaceful rural surroundings, just a short drive from everyday amenities. The plot enjoys spectacular sea and mountain views. You can even watch aircraft arriving at the airport, adding a fascinating detail to a landscape you will never tire of. For walking enthusiasts, the Levada dos Tornos is right on your doorstep. This historic water channel system originates around Boaventura, in the north of Madeira, and carries water to the island’s southern slopes. Its southern route passes through Monte, Camacha and Achada de Gaula, continuing towards Santa Cruz. It is an invitation to make the outdoors part of your everyday life, with opportunities to explore Madeira’s scenery close to home. Start your morning with freshly baked bread from the local bakery and finish the day over dinner at the popular Braseiro de Gaula restaurant. Local bars and other places to unwind are also nearby. The airport is just a few minutes away by car, with Funchal approximately 15 minutes away. Nature, privacy and convenience. A setting for those ready to build their own home and make Gaula their permanent address. POTENTIAL TO BUILD YOUR MAIN, PERMANENT RESIDENCE Any possibility of building is subject to confirmation of the planning rules applicable to this specific plot and approval by the relevant authorities. Under the planning framework described, a new home would be permitted exclusively as the owner’s main, permanent residence, subject to specific conditions. These include demonstrating a genuine need for a first permanent home and the absence of a viable alternative. Construction for investment or tourist accommodation is not permitted under this framework. The stated parameters allow for a maximum gross floor area of 150 m², potentially increasing to 200 m² for a home associated with an approved agricultural or forestry operation, and a maximum building height of 7 metres. The plot must also directly adjoin a paved public road at least 5 metres wide. No more than 30% of the land may be covered by impermeable surfaces, and all other applicable planning and agricultural requirements must be met. An opportunity to create a home with character, rooted in its surroundings and designed for everyday living. Arrange your viewing. Come for the views — and imagine the home you could create here.
