With a lot of attention to detail and expertise, this historic two-storey finca in Puntagorda has been restored and extended. The result is a beautiful, rustic main house (129.20 m² floor space) with a small granny flat for private guests as well as a workshop and an annexe (57 m² floor space) which was previously only used as a technical building and could easily be converted into a separate guest house. The finca also includes a detached garage with separate storage room (39 m² floor space), a water tank (9 m³) for garden irrigation and a stainless steel drinking water tank (200 l).
You enter the main house on the ground floor through a protected entrance area and reach a very inviting dining area surrounded by three windows to one side and a spacious cooking area to the other. The well-equipped fitted kitchen was built by a German carpenter from Riga solid wood and complemented with artistically designed elements of natural stone and the famous Canarian teawood. Located centrally between these and the adjoining living area, a basic stove was built, which spreads cosy warmth throughout the entire house through warm air shafts and heated benches according to the tiled stove principle. There is a cosy living area next to it, on one side of which historical timber-framed houses made of teawood were uncovered, a construction method that was used very rarely here, because this special wood was also very expensive in the past.
At the end of the ground floor there is the bedroom of the owner's apartment, also very cosy and rustic with a visible teawood ceiling. Also on the ground floor is the spacious bathroom, which has been specially designed for this purpose - it is rarely possible to see baths with such attention to detail and tasteful design - applications made of waterproof teahood are skillfully quoted in the historical building method, skillfully complemented by modern bathroom furniture and mosaic elements used sparingly.
From the living area on the ground floor, you can access another living room on the upper floor via a narrow, sliding teaholz staircase. This was restored by German carpenters, the ceilings and the floor were made of historical teaholz. The entire room radiates a cosy atmosphere of rustic comfort or, in the Canarian sense, lordly living conditions. Even a small balcony had been afforded, but the balustrades needed to be renewed - the only thing that has not been restored to perfect condition by the current owners.
For those who do not want to use the steep staircase in the house, the living room also has an outside door through which the garden and the ground floor can be reached alternatively with a few steps.
An elegant outside staircase made of natural stone leads from the central, large terrace in front of the main house to the granny annexe on the upper floor. Your family guests will certainly feel very comfortable here. A small covered dining area, most of which is protected by windows, affords a view over Puntagorda and the Atlantic Ocean. From here you reach the small, but very well furnished kitchen-living-room, the bedroom and the small but also very beautifully designed bathroom.
Another house that is currently only used as a large, but well renovated and thermally insulated technical area. At present, it houses a very generously dimensioned water storage tank for solar domestic hot water heating, the washing machine and tumble dryer, which can be supported by a gas boiler if necessary. There would be enough space for a completely separate guest studio, which could be set up with few resources.
Between the main house and the possible guest house there is a workshop building with ample space for the ambitious do-it-yourself enthusiasts and a large outdoor shower sheltered from the wind and views.
A little further down is the semi-open garage with a storeroom. A further, small building houses the firewood for the base stove and a further, completely panoramic and wind-protected terrace.
The garden is well overgrown with old ornamental and fruit trees and still offers some possibilities for the own horticulture. There are currently three additional parking spaces on the property.
The buildings are of course connected to the public power supply (9.9 kW) as well as to the private gallery water network. The water is supplied via a rented Minaderos share, which distributes approx. 1,6 l/min. A TV-SAT-system enables German television, the internet connection is currently provided via USB-stick, but in case of permanent housing it can also be provided via cable, which is available.
Access is via a well paved public road, the area is well accessible with partially concreted roads.
