The house was completely gutted in the last ten years and given a new floor plan, so that today it presents itself as a very beautiful, bright and modern domicile. It can be used both as a permanent residence and as a holiday home and impresses with its wonderful views of the Atlantic and an old gofio mill and parts of the town of Santo Domingo. It is located slightly above Santo Domingo at only 450 metres above sea level and is more sheltered from the wind than the centre of the village.

The house is divided into a large and bright living room with a bay window in which the dining area is located, which offers a beautiful view of the Atlantic Ocean, the gofio mill and the sunset on three sides. An area a little further back serves as a cosy TV corner. From here you can also access bedroom 1 and the bathroom.

A sliding door leads from the living room into the kitchen, which also has access to the guest area or large bedroom 2. A guest toilet with washing machine is particularly practical here.

A large roof terrace with a windbreak wall offers a wonderful place for sundowners or sunbathing, even in north-easterly winds.

In front of the house there is another small terrace for a coffee in between and a view of the driveway, so if someone should come by, you can welcome them right here.

The semi-basement houses a spacious garage, which also serves as a workshop and storage room. This could easily be converted into a completely separate guest apartment by installing a glazed entrance door.

The very low-maintenance garden has an automatic irrigation system that makes additional manual watering completely superfluous. In addition to lush and colourful flowers, the garden offers a wide range of fruit trees such as orange and lemon trees, almond trees, pomegranate trees, mango trees, medlar trees, grapevines and avocado bushes.

If required, a swimming pool can be built on the open lawn area.

The house is offered mainly unfurnished and can be taken over almost immediately.

It is in excellent condition and is of course connected to the public electricity and drinking water network as well as the private garden water network. Internet connection and SAT-TV are available. Heat pump air conditioning units with heating function are installed in the living room and bedroom 1. The driveway is accessible via a public road with a normal car, there is currently one parking space (plus garage) available, and a further parking space could be created by cutting back the plants.

In the quiet village of Santo Domingo, which is within walking distance, you can relax in the plaza, enjoy a meal in the neighbouring cafés or restaurants, visit the 16th century village church or use the village square as a starting point for your hike to the dragon trees. There are also shopping facilities directly in the village. Below the village lies the Puerto de Garafía, with a spectacular view of the wildly romantic cliffs and a small beach that can only be reached on foot.

Town water

Town water is the only official table water on the island. It is treated by the municipalities in accordance with the EU Drinking water ordinance, chlorinated to variable degrees depending on the weather and supplied with pressure by a water meter. The accounting takes place according to usage, it costs (depending of the municipality) approx. 4 €/month, basic fee including the first 15 m³, which is sufficient for a 2-3 person household. It is not allowed to use municipal water for extensive garden irrigation, consumption should not exceed 150 litres per person per day. For bulk consumers there are graduated prices: The higher the consumption, the more expensive the price is per m³. It is (above the included 15 m³ per month) from 0,50 € to 2,0 € per cubic meter.

✖

SAT-TV

The property is equipped with a television satellite reception system. So you can receive about 900 European television channels via Astra, of course also ARD and ZDF (even legally free of charge!) and all German private channels, most of them also in HD.

✖

Cistern

A cistern is a water tank, in which the so-called share water is usually collected here. Because this water arrives at the finca pressureless with a certain quantity per minute, one collects in winter (if less water is needed for the garden irrigation) the surplus water in this tank, so that one has a supply in summer, if more is needed. On some fincas the rainwater is also stored in it.

✖

Public electric grid

This finca is connected to the public electricity grid, which is not always self-evident in La Palma. Some properties also produce their own electricity, using alternative techniques and store it in batteries. Since we have a lot of sunshine and in some areas a lot of wind, a very environmentally friendly way of supplying energy.

✖

Fixed line connection via radio

At this finca the telephone is connected to the fixed network via the mobile network. This means that no phone lines spoil the view and you get a normal landline phone number (starting with +34 922…). The fees are charged in the same way as for a normal landline connection.

✖

Internet connection

Meanwhile almost all estates on la Palma are connected to the Internet, the development of the net takes place with high speed. Many different technologies are currently available, so that a nationwide connection is possible. Technical solutions are:

Fiber optic cable - speeds up to 300 Mbit possible. The network is currently being expanded and is available e.g. in Los Llanos, in Puntagorda from January 2019...
Copper cable over the telephone network - speed up to 10 Mbit possible, depending on the distance to the next node
Radio over mobile network - available almost all over the island - speeds currently up to 10 Mbit possible
directional radio - possible if there is a line of sight to the next radio transmitter. Speeds up to 12 Mbit possible, at quite interesting prices
Satellite connection - 100% coverage of the whole island, speeds up to 22MBit possible, relatively expensive, but at least, it works in the most remote areas.

Air conditioning with heating

Air conditioning is rarely used for cooling, even in midsummer our weather is rather moderate, temperatures above 30°C are the exception even in midsummer. But if in August the 'Calima', a hot desert wind from the Sahara gets lost to us, then we can also get over 35°C and after a few days one is thankful for an air conditioning. The systems operate mainly according to the construction principle of the air-air heat pump and are therefore quite energy-efficient (in cooling mode usually with an efficiency of 1:3, in heating mode of 1:4), so that electricity costs and CO2 emissions also remain within limits, especially as the systems are rarely used and the temperature differences to be compensated are not very large. In this respect, these systems are also often and gladly used for heating: Since they only have to run rarely and usually very briefly, but react quickly, an ideal heating system for most houses.

✖

Stock water

The so-called share water is used for garden irrigation. It's called this because you're not legally buying water, but a company share of one of the water cooperatives. On your 'water share' you receive the dividend in kind of water. Depending on the company, the quantities of water and the prices for these share certificates vary greatly; these shares can also be rented or rented out. A comprehensive topic on which we would be pleased to inform you.

The service water for the bathroom and kitchen is generated in a particularly environmentally friendly way with a solar thermal system, i.e. usually only solar energy is used to heat the service water. Only in case of several days without sun (which is rare in our country) it may be necessary to heat the water with additional external energy (electric or bottled gas). This usually takes place automatically, the energy saving amounts to about 90% according to our experience.
