Buying Property in The Azores
View property for sale in The Azores
Property buyers are starting to look to the Azores as one of the next European hotspots. Located 1,500 kilometres from Lisbon, in the middle of the Atlantic, the islands have a pleasant year-round climate and some stunning scenery. The archipelago is made up of nine islands: Sao Miguel, Pico, Terceira, Faial, Sao Jorge, Flores, Santa Maria, Graciosa and Corvo.
Sao Miguel is the largest and most populous, and its capital Ponta Delgada is home to a quarter of the entire Azores population. Property development is well underway here and it is already home to one of Europe’s best golf courses (as well as some others) and a marina and will soon boast a casino. Conservation laws mean new developments are limited and will be of a high quality.
There are further courses on the islands of Terceira and, imminently, Faial. Water sports fans are catered for with a wide selection of activities including sailing, deep-sea fishing and windsurfing, and the islands’ harbours and marinas are well-known in the nautical fraternity.
Resale property for sale in the Azores can be purchased quite inexpensively on the smaller islands, both rural and coastal properties. There are ferry routes and air services linking the islands, some of which only operate during the main tourist season, meaning that property buyers can ultimately choose just how busy or remote the location of their property in the Azores is.
