Located in Santo da Serra, this property promotes a quieter lifestyle, in constant contact with the surrounding nature. Due to its altitude, it offers cooler temperatures than those felt across the rest of the island. Nearby, you will find the golf course, and the property is just fifteen minutes from Santa Cruz beach, the airport, and the expressway. Its construction is entirely in wood, an ecological and sustainable material that ensures superior energy efficiency. With double walls, exterior finishes in glued laminated timber, and double-glazed windows, the property remains warm in winter and cool in summer thanks to the natural insulating properties of wood. It is a renewable, recyclable, and non-toxic resource, thus minimizing environmental impact. Inspired by a tropical dacha-style retreat, carefully decorated and designed with great attention to detail, this property stands out for its distinctive atmosphere, characteristic of wooden homes. Distributed over two floors, the layout begins with an entrance hall adjacent to a bathroom, leading to the open-plan kitchen and dining area, featuring French doors that open onto a large covered terrace. The living room, with its vaulted ceiling, is bright and offers views of the surrounding nature, and includes a ceramic-clad stove. One of the suites is located on this floor. The upper level comprises the master suite, two additional bedrooms, and another bathroom. The spacious and customizable basement provides versatile space for a gym, sauna, jacuzzi, or even an indoor pool. The garden is a true oasis, beginning with a lawn shaded by autumn-toned trees, ideal for family activities and outdoor gatherings. The property also features a small orchard in its early stages of growth and a composting well. A Tuscany-inspired pathway lined with cypress trees leads to a fountain decorated with majolica frogs. The garden includes species such as Lebanon cedar, Japanese cedars pruned in the ‘daisugi’ style, Australian kauri, white camellias, magnolias, and a rock garden with a restored 17th-century stone oven. The property is equipped with an automatic irrigation system and a ride-on lawn tractor. This is the perfect property for those seeking a life in harmony with nature, combined with comfort and elegance in a serene environment.
