Unique Detached Stone Villa – Macieira, Ansião

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a truly unique detached stone villa in the peaceful village of Macieira, just 9 km from Ansião in Central Portugal. Crafted by a master stonemason, this remarkable home combines authentic traditional craftsmanship with modern comfort, a spacious plot, panoramic landscape views, and excellent development potential.

The property was built with genuine 1-meter-thick stone walls rather than cladding, offering a level of character, solidity, and artistic design rarely found on the market. The high-quality craftsmanship continues throughout the estate, including garden walls, gate pillars, retaining walls, and a curved stone staircase leading to the upper garden.

Each stone was individually selected for its color, grain, and texture. This outstanding stone residence is a true one-of-a-kind, created with passion, patience, and exceptional attention to detail.

Interior Features

• Ground Floor: Designed for seamless indoor-outdoor living, centered around a high-quality, handcrafted kitchen with double garden access. This culinary space features premium soft-close cabinets, an integrated dishwasher, a professional electric stove, a traditional wood oven, and a freestanding double fridge-freezer, along with ample space for generous dining areas. This floor also includes a welcoming living room and a designer bathroom with a freestanding bathtub and marble-clad shower.

• First Floor: Accessed via the handcrafted staircase, this level offers three spacious double bedrooms and a versatile home office—ideal for remote work, creative projects, or potential conversion into a second bathroom.
