Stone ruin with outline plans for two homes in the historic heart of Lajes do Pico, in the Azores, a short stroll from the harbour and the sea. This pre-1951 village house sits on a 90.6 m² (975 sq ft) plot on Rua Padre Xavier Madruga, a quiet cobbled lane. The two-storey stone building has a 53.9 m² footprint, 107.8 m² (1,160 sq ft) of gross floor area and a small yard. A feasibility study proposes a sympathetic rebuild and extension in the island's traditional style: whitewashed lime walls, twin gables to the lane, clay canal tiles, timber sash windows and a small timber lookout tower, a nod to the whaling era. Proposed gross floor area: 167.7 m² (1,805 sq ft). Ground floor: a fully accessible one-bedroom flat of 53.9 m² with open-plan kitchen and living room, a level-access shower room and a private courtyard garden of 17.5 m². First floor and tower: a two-bedroom duplex of 113.8 m² (1,225 sq ft) with its own front door, a kitchen and living room facing the lane, a bedroom and bathroom, and a tower suite with a desk, sea views and a window framing Pico mountain. Two independent homes: live in one and let the other, or run both as holiday lets, which are permitted throughout the municipality. Public parking about 30 m away. Whale watching, walking and the UNESCO-listed vineyards are all close by. Price: €112,000. Images generated by AI and plans from the feasibility study are for illustration only.
