Clifftop Property for sale, 130 meters oceanfront, absolute south exposure

*** The extremely mild subtropical climates.
Where all monthly mean air temperatures are above 15ºC and below 21ºC dew point as well as yearly daily average amplitude of temperature under 7*C.

Very few such areas are located on continents:
- arid west coasts of the Americas (Baja California, Lima, Peru to Arica, Chile) and Africa (southern Morocco, southern Angola, Namibia).
- green east coasts of South Africa (East London), Australia (Coffs Harbour). In South America Florianópolis in Brazil fails to meet the dew point criteria in the two warmest months: average temperature just under 25ºC but relative humidity above 80 %.
- a few spots in the Mediterranean, although all WMO stations fail to meet all criteria, with Tel Aviv in Israel coming the closest to do it (15ºC in coldest month, 21ºC dew point in warmest month).

The rest is found in islands. Considerably less variance of daily temperatures, explains why these spots boast the world's lowest sums for heating and cooling degree days, calulated with maximum precision using daily means and the usual 18ºC base:
- southern hemisphere: Norfolk and Lord Howe.
- northern hemisphere: some spots of Canary Islands; Madeira's south coast and Porto Santo; two spots of the south coasts of the Azores: Praia Formosa in Santa Maria and around Vila Franca do Campo in São Miguel.

*** Clifftops around Vila Franca do Campo
One of only two spots in the Azores with an extremely mild subtropical climate.
At the best ones, all located within a 3 km radius from the marina, the day's average temperature ranges from 24.5º C (28-21.5) in the warmest month to 16ºC (18.5 -14.5) in the coldest month, yearly precipitation of 800 mm and zero days with occurence of fog.
Contrast it with
- the marina, located in a cold air basin in winter: 15ºC (18-13) in the coldest month.
- the airport's weather station reporting temperatures for the island, in a cold air basin and exposed to west and north winds, with monthly mean air temperatures 2.5º C cooler.
- hills around the Lagoa do Fogo lake, 6 km away and up to 920 m higher: up to 250 days with occurence of fog and 4000 mm yearly precipitation or FIVE times more, more difference than between any two locations in Europe.

*** Property's location
Bordered by cliff covered with forest in the west and by cliff over the Atlantic Ocean in the south.
170 meters from NW corner to 6 meters lower SE corner (steepness: very gentle slope).
20 km highway from Ponta Delgada airport with direct flights to Europe (two and half hours) and America. Yet thanks to an exceptionally protected location, including a 300 m radius green buffer zone, nothing to hear but the birds and sometimes waves and wind in the area bordering the ocean cliffs.
Private access, shared with the two oceanfront properties to the east, ends at the property's entrance.

*** Beaches around the property
8 out of the top 10 sandy beaches between Europe and the US are within a 3 km radius.
2 of these beaches are visible, just left from the center of the picture
- the waterfall beach, the only bathing beach (25ºC from end of July to mid September) where you can get rid of the ocean salt taking a shower under a natural waterfall and your feet still on the sand.
- the tiny "private" beach, accessible only from this property and from the two next oceanfront properties to the west and by low tide also from the waterfall beach walking over slippery rocks.
- the only beach in an uninhabited island in the mild subtropics, 800 meters from the property

The islet is also the stage for the Cliff Diving World Series :

Oben grau, unten blau -
blue under grey, that's how the best 5 km of the azorean coasts (which total almost 1000 km) can be described.

Lake visible on the upper left corner, elected on a nation wide vote in state television "one of the 7 beach wonders of Portugal", 6 km direct line yet climate worlds away.
