2,64-HECTARE COUNTRY ESTATE | A UNIQUE INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY ON FAIAL ISLAND – AZORES

A property offering space, infrastructure (water, electricity and gas) and potential, where nature meets business opportunity.

Located in the heart of the parish of Castelo Branco, on the beautiful island of Faial, this attractive 2,64-hectare estate represents an excellent opportunity, distinguished by its size, layout, existing infrastructure and versatility.

Set within a predominantly rural landscape, surrounded by extensive green spaces and enjoying a privileged location just 7 km from the city of Horta, the property benefits from pleasant views of Pico island, the Atlantic Ocean and Horta International Airport.

This estate offers particularly attractive features for those looking to invest, develop an agricultural business or bring their own project to life in one of the Azores’ most appealing natural settings.

The soil is acidic, with a gentle slope, making it suitable for a variety of agricultural crops or livestock grazing throughout the property.

Several rows of medium-sized shrubs and trees, including Japanese camellias, are distributed across the estate, naturally dividing the land into separate plots while providing shelter and protection. This layout allows for a diversified range of outdoor crops or greenhouse cultivation.

AN ESTABLISHED AGRICULTURAL OPERATION

Currently dedicated to the production of Proteas, flowers with recognised commercial value and strong export market potential, the property already benefits from an organised agricultural operation, comprising several cultivation plots and an established support infrastructure.

The estate includes a 200 sqm agricultural storage and support building, featuring a 25 sqm staff dining area, two bathrooms of 8 sqm each, three separate rooms of 16 sqm each, as well as space for vehicle and machinery storage.

The building is equipped with a refrigerated cold-storage unit and is prepared for the handling, conditioning and preparation of products intended for export.

Situated alongside a public road, the property benefits from excellent access and two separate entrances: one directly from the main asphalt road and another providing direct access to the estate.

The property also includes various items of agricultural equipment, representing additional value for anyone wishing to continue the existing agricultural operation.

WATER AUTONOMY AND SUSTAINABLE RESOURCE MANAGEMENT

One of the property’s key distinguishing features is its large water storage reservoir, with a capacity of 500 cubic metres, fitted with a floating cover and supplied through rainwater harvesting. The stored water is used for crop irrigation.

This system provides a significant degree of water autonomy, reducing dependence on the public water supply network and contributing to more efficient management of natural resources.

An especially valuable feature for anyone looking to establish or maintain an agricultural business.

ONE PROPERTY, ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES

Although currently focused on the outdoor production and commercialisation of cut flowers, particularly Proteas, as well as horticultural crops, this estate offers far more than simply continuing an existing agricultural operation.

Its layout, divided into several clearly defined cultivation plots, allows for flexible land management and opens up opportunities for crop diversification and the development of new projects.

The existing business can be continued, alternative agricultural production introduced, or a new floriculture, horticulture or specialised farming project developed.

Alternatively, the size and characteristics of the property offer the opportunity to create an entirely new vision for rural land use, always subject to legally permitted uses.

It is precisely this versatility that makes the property particularly appealing to different types of buyers: farmers, investors, business owners, entrepreneurs or anyone seeking a substantial property with the potential to develop a project in the Azores.

A PRIVILEGED LOCATION – CASTELO BRANCO, FAIAL ISLAND

Set within a beautiful rural landscape, the property enjoys a natural environment characterised by green fields, tranquillity and proximity to the coastline.

The views overlooking Horta Airport add a distinctive feature to its location, in an area of the island that combines Faial’s rural character with convenient access to important transport links.
