The house and garden of Lourdes Castro, in Caniço, are for sale for 4.1 million euros. The property, located on Estrada do Garajau, is advertised on the Idealista portal through Sotheby's. Lourdes Castro was one of the most important Portuguese visual artists of the 20th century, native to Madeira.
The sale comes just over a year after the Legislative Assembly of Madeira rejected a proposal that sought to advance the classification of the space as a property of public interest. This decision opened the way for the property to be sold on the open market.
The estate occupies a plot of land that, according to the article, has not yet been fully registered. The artist lived in this property until her death, leaving an important cultural legacy associated with the Madeira region.
