Rare Opportunity - Thoughtfully Restored Finca with Incredible Views

Property Description

Fantastic large country house. For those looking for rural tranquillity with a typical Canarian flavour! This property has been lovingly restored and 100% legalised, including the pool, to provide a special peaceful lifestyle for its new owners. Improvements in all aspects of the house completed 2023.

The property has been rebuilt and modernised incredibly well (including the roof, walls, electrics, and decoration) and can be lived in from the day you receive the keys.

Fully registered properties like this are extremely hard to come by and sitting on 16,000m2 (5 acres) of rural Lanzarote farmland you can be sure of a peaceful life.

The house dates from circa 1798 and shares many features of similar local properties, once the Manor house and a Barley farm to the village. The property has been rebuilt and modernised incredibly well (including a new roof using the latest technology in flat roofing, walls rebuilt and rendered, electrics; all new to UK and European standards, plumbing and decoration internally and externally) and can be lived in from the day you receive the keys. All new refurbishment was carried out during 2023 with professional teams from the Island and the UK.

The Location - Casa Don Juan Miguel is set a short distance from the village of Teseguite down a quiet country lane, lying centrally within its own extensive gardens, which are well stocked with indigenous plants, further fields and grounds extend beyond the gardens. Many of the rooms enjoy views across the gardens and open countryside beyond, with fabulous views of the Atlantic Ocean. The property is located approximately 3km to the south of the delightful and active ancient capital of Teguise which offers excellent facilities including a school, medical centre, church, bank, shops and many restaurants’ cafés and traditional bars.

The Property – Internally, the property benefits from 4 double bedrooms, with 4 ensuite bathrooms, a large airy kitchen, 3 reception rooms; drawing room, dining room and hall and a large open central courtyard, perfect for evenings under the stars and a sun trap in the day. The internal layout is of Canarian design and can either be used as a country home or could lend itself well to being a boutique B&B. The rooms have been classically restored with enhanced features, however they could be easily modernised.

The Grounds – From the lane you enter the property through the front courtyard leading to the front door. To the left of the property there are well thought out gardens, an extensive open swimming pool area, and a large sun terrace at the side of the house with a grand built in Cesar Manrique style BBQ and grill, ideal for entertaining.  Additionally, there is potential for land to be used as Tennis or Padel courts. The rear of the property has a lovely outside sitting area with further space for the Spanish game of Petanca within the walled and arched garden. To the right of the property, there is an entrance drive leading to a large carriage sweep with ample car parking. There is a further second driveway leading from the lane to the carriage sweep. The drive hosts a buried container used during the restoration of the property which now houses the solar power equipment, batteries and generator. The property has further rural land (approximately 3 acres) with uninterrupted mountain and sea views.

The property benefits from producing all its own solar powered electricity, which serves the house well, just like a normal European house but probably more reliable. Water is stored in a fully refurbished Al jibe and is electrically pumped to the house for a completely normal water supply, with very good water pressure. The drainage and sewerage are all private systems built to exacting standards with little or no maintenance. A large 7.5Kw Lamborghini generator serves as a super high powered back up, and at this stage is required for the Hot water systems, the owners recommendation is to install a solar powered hot water system, easily installed and not expensive but very reliable, estimate 3-5000 euros. All the current equipment has been recently serviced and the 12 solar batteries renewed with modern high powered units and upgraded in the past year. An LPG range cooker and fantastic BBQ and grill provide excellent cooking facilities.

*Please note the swimming pool and surrounds need relining and painting, the pool was drained due to Covid restrictions. The photos shown are historic. A very reasonable quote, with guarantees, has been made for the work should the purchasers be interested, approximately 15,000 Euros.
