Truly Unique Detached Stone Villa – Macieira, Ansião
This is a rare opportunity to purchase a truly unique detached stone villa in the peaceful village of Macieira, just 9 km from Ansião, central Portugal. Handcrafted by a master stonemason, this remarkable home combines authentic traditional craftsmanship with modern comfort, generous land, panoramic countryside views, and excellent future potential.
Built with genuine 1-meter-thick stone walls rather than cladding, the property offers a level of character, solidity, and artistry rarely found on the market. The premium craftsmanship continues throughout the estate, including the garden walls, gate pillars, retaining walls, and a sweeping stone staircase leading to the upper garden.
Each stone was individually selected for its colour, grain, and texture. This outstanding stone residence is a genuine one-of-a-kind home, created with passion, patience, and exceptional attention to detail.
Interior Layout
•Ground Floor: Designed for seamless indoor-outdoor living, this level centres around a high-specification, handmade kitchen with dual garden access. This culinary space features premium soft-close cabinetry, an integrated dishwasher, a professional electric range, a traditional wood-burning stove, and a freestanding double fridge/freezer, alongside ample room for large-scale dining. This floor also hosts a welcoming lounge and a designer bathroom featuring a standalone tub and a marble-lined shower.
•First Floor: Going up the handmade staircase this floor features three generous double bedrooms and a versatile home office—perfect for remote work, creative pursuits, or potential conversion into a secondary bathroom.
