Ideal for investment.This property is facing Barra Bay: Barra Bay is a Portuguese bay located in the municipality of Santa Cruz da Graciosa, Graciosa Island, Azores. In this bay with low coasts, the Forte da Barra or Bateria da Barra, as it is also called, is intended for the defense of the island, which is frequently besieged by pirates and privateers. Being a sheltered bay, it has a small port and the headquarters of the Ilha Graciosa Naval Club. The surrounding landscape is marked by the presence of Monte de Nossa Senhora da Ajuda crowned by three hermitages. Graciosa Island, classified by Unesco as a World Biosphere Reserve, is the northernmost island of the five that make up the Central Group of the Azores archipelago. It is known as Ilha Branca, a name inspired by the geomorphological characteristics and toponymic elements of the island, with special emphasis on the names given to places such as Pedras Brancas, Serra Branca and Barro Branco.The island has a municipality, Santa Cruz da Graciosa, made up of four parishes: Vila de Santa Cruz, Vila da Praia, Guadalupe and Luz. Santa Cruz stands out for its typical houses, cobbled streets, branching off from the large square central, where you can see the bandstand, water tanks and araucaria trees. It is worth visiting the Main Church of Santa Cruz da Graciosa, Santo Cristo, Cruz da Barra and the Ethnographic Museum, which brings together pieces linked to wine culture, with traditions on the island, and whaling. In the town of Praia, the highlight is the Church of So Mateus which has a pipe organ from 1793, one of the most beautiful in the Azores and in Guadalupe, the Church with the same name, dating from the 17th century. XVII.At Monte Nossa Senhora da Ajuda we have a pleasant panoramic view over Santa Cruz, the northern part of the Island. In this area we can also visit three hermitages dedicated to S. Joo, S. Salvador and Nossa Senhora da Ajuda. The latter is one of the best examples of fortified religious architecture in the Azores. It has attached the pilgrims' house intended to welcome those who went there on pilgrimage.The island's architectural heritage is preserved in various types of buildings, with emphasis on churches, hermitages, rural houses, and a curious water architecture associated with a centuries-old network of reservoirs and drinking water supply systems. Another very characteristic feature of this island's landscape are the windmills with red domes, of Flemish inspiration, which testify to the abundant cereal production of other times.READ MORE WHY BUY WITH KELLER WILLIAMS?
