The surrounding grounds encompass 1,719 square meters of lush greenery, complemented by a private outdoor Jacuzzi and expansive structural decking.

Leading out from the main living and kitchen areas is a partially covered exterior wooden deck, perfectly outfitted with an outdoor kitchen, a traditional wood-burning oven, a built-in barbecue, custom cabinetry, and a TV setup for outdoor entertaining. Furthermore, a spacious upper-level terrace and panoramic balcony, finished with terracotta-tone ceramic tiles and sleek stainless-steel railings, offers sweeping, unobstructed views of the Atlantic Ocean and the surrounding verdant Azorean landscape.

Ground Floor: Social & Living Spaces

Entering through a majestic solid-wood double door reveals a grand entrance hall characterized by patterned geometric tile flooring and an elegant wooden staircase leading to the upper level. The main living room is a refined, welcoming space centered around a wood-burning stove embedded in a striking stone-clad fireplace. Built-in illuminated display cabinets and large glass doors with soft drapery provide direct access to the outdoor sun terraces while flooding the room with natural light. A dedicated dining room offers picturesque views looking out toward the exterior stone fountain.

The gourmet kitchen and adjoining dining area are fully equipped with sleek white cabinetry, high-end built-in appliances (including an oven, steam oven, and dishwasher), a central island with a built-in cooktop and auxiliary sink, a breakfast bar, and a side-by-side American-style stainless steel refrigerator. A bright breakfast room leads directly out to the exterior wooden deck.

Practicality is well-matched with luxury on this level, featuring a fully equipped laundry room and pantry fitted with an extra refrigerator as well as vertical and horizontal freezers. Additional ground-floor highlights include an elegantly decorated guest powder room with accented wallpaper and a white floating vanity, a comfortable guest bedroom with an en-suite bathroom, a fully equipped home exercise room with an integrated TV, and a generous two-car garage with an integrated storage workshop.

ABOUT THE AREA

Horta is a picturesque and historic coastal city located on Faial Island in the central group of the Azores archipelago of Portugal. Renowned worldwide for its iconic, deeply sheltered natural harbor, the city has long served as a legendary transatlantic stopover for international sailors, yachtsmen, and maritime travelers crossing the Atlantic Ocean. Its vibrant marina is famous for its colorful murals painted by visiting crews, creating an open-air gallery that reflects decades of maritime history and global seafaring culture.

The municipality is characterized by a stunning volcanic landscape, dramatic coastal cliffs, and sweeping views across the channel toward the neighboring island of Pico, which is dominated by Portugal’s highest peak. Beyond the harbor, Horta features charming historic architecture, leafy public squares, and traditional Azorean stone houses. The surrounding countryside rises into lush green hills and terminates at the striking Capelinhos Volcano, a dramatic lunar-like landscape on the island’s western tip that bears testimony to the region’s active geological origins.

Life in Horta blends a relaxed, slow-paced island atmosphere with a welcoming community spirit centered around tourism, whale watching, and local agriculture. The city is also home to the legendary Peter Café Sport, a historic nautical tavern established in 1918 that acts as an unofficial clubhouse for sailors from all corners of the globe. This unique blend of seafaring tradition, isolation, and vibrant hospitality makes Horta one of the most charismatic ports of call in the North Atlantic.

The nearest aviation gateway to the city is Horta Airport (HOR), located in the parish of Castelo Branco, approximately 9 to 10 kilometers (about a 15-minute drive) southwest of downtown Horta. The airport provides regular regional connections linking Faial to other islands in the Azores, as well as direct domestic flight services to mainland Portugal via Lisbon.
