Wake up to the Atlantic stretching out in front of you, with Ponta de São Lourenço on the horizon. That is the setting of this 5,286 m² plot, with direct frontage onto Estrada de São Lourenço in Caniçal.
Located in Sítio dos Marmeleiros, the land sits on the hillside above the village, overlooking an established residential area, with sweeping views across the sea, the harbour and the offshore islets. Caniçal is also the gateway to Ponta de São Lourenço, one of Madeira’s most striking landscapes, with Prainha beach and the expressway both within easy reach.
The property offers far more than just the view. Part of the land also has development potential. According to information issued by Machico Town Council in July 2025, the section bordering Estrada de São Lourenço is classified under the Municipal Master Plan as a Low-Density Urban Expansion and Infill Area.
Within this section, the planning regulations allow for residential and tourism-related uses, as well as compatible supporting activities. The applicable parameters include a maximum construction index of 0.50, a building footprint of up to 30%, impermeable surfaces of up to 40%, and a maximum of three storeys, subject to the surrounding built environment. Development is concentrated along the road frontage, to a depth of up to 14 metres, with each building limited to a maximum of 400 m² above ground. The remainder of the property is classified as agricultural land, where development is significantly restricted.
It is easy to imagine a home facing the Atlantic, with more than half a hectare of land around it for gardens, fruit trees or simply the privacy and breathing space that is increasingly difficult to find. A plot of this size, with this outlook and this location, rarely comes onto the market in Caniçal.
Any development is subject to the necessary municipal approvals and to consultation with the Regional Directorate for Territorial Planning, as the property borders a regional road. We have the full planning information available and can guide you through the relevant details.
Documentation available for review includes the Land Registry Certificate, Property Tax Record, the official planning information issued by Machico Town Council, the Municipal Master Plan zoning map and an orthophoto.
Arrange a viewing and come and see the setting for yourself.
