Estate with two villa, a contemporary T5+1 and the main villa T3, with gross construction areas of 582 sqm and 227 sqm, respectively, a 17th-century chapel, lush gardens, and exceptional views of the Atlantic Ocean, set on a property of 13,100 sqm with total privacy, in Alegria, São Roque, high area of Funchal, Madeira.In the first decade of the 2000s, the estate underwent an extraordinary architectural transformation. The project was designed by the award-winning Portuguese architect João Favila Menezes from Atelier Bugio.The contemporary villa is spread over three floors and enjoys a southwest orientation, offering breathtaking views from its elevated position of 565 meters. The ground floor boasts five bedrooms, including a remarkable master suite with a spacious walk-in closet, as well as three bathrooms and an office. Additional features include a decommissioned indoor pool that currently serves as a showcase for the owner's private art collection, a service area, access to a two-car garage, and a basement with a maid's room and bathroom.The rooftop level consists of a spacious living room with a terrace, fireplace, dining room, a guest bathroom, and a fully equipped kitchen with a terrace. The glass facades provide ample natural light and a sense of lightness to the interior spaces, with magnificent views of the Atlantic Ocean, Funchal, the gardens, and the city's mountains.The villa, with high-quality finishes, offers every comfort and convenience, including double-glazed windows, electric shutters, home automation, central heating, and air conditioning. However, some maintenance work is needed. In addition to the contemporary villa, the project included eight bungalows with private balconies, an outdoor pool, and a solarium for tourist exploitation. The existing constructions of this complex are unfinished and can be resumed. The lower level is currently used as the owner's workshop and art exhibition space. This area includes the machinery room and the irrigation and pool water tanks.The Chapel of Nossa Senhora da Alegria, dating back to 1608, is located at the lowest elevation of the estate, below the main house, a single-story traditional Madeiran-style house. Both buildings were restored by the current owner after 2019. The house is served by a corridor at the entrance that connects all the rooms: the living room with a fireplace, the two bedrooms, one en-suite, a bathroom, kitchen, laundry room, and a third maid's room with a bathroom. All rooms have central heating. Outside, there is a barbecue area.The nature, green spaces, careful and harmonious integration of contemporary and Madeiran tradition, along with the views, are the distinctive elements of the estate. The location, extraordinary and rare size of the property, make it one of the most exclusive in Funchal. The provided silence and well-being make it an excellent retreat.The estate is less than a 10-minute drive from the Via Rápida and less than 15 minutes from the historic center of Funchal, the beach area, and 'Palheiro Golf'. It is 30 minutes from Santo da Serra Golf Club and a 20-minute drive from Madeira International Airport, with 13 daily flights of 1h30 to Lisbon and 4 daily flights (2h00) to Porto.
