This finca, furnished with great attention to detail, is nestled amongst lush greenery and graceful trees at an altitude of approximately 480 metres above sea level. The breathtaking sea view stretches across the particularly varied landscape of this rich and unspoilt region of La Palma.

The original traditional Canarian houses (the main house and the ‘pajero’) have been meticulously restored, and a new extension has been added to the historic structure to provide additional living space.

The main house (115 m² floor area) is laid out in an L-shape around the partially covered terrace and comprises a living-dining room, a very large living-bedroom with numerous classic Canarian windows overlooking the Atlantic and the typically cosy exposed timber roof trusses, a bathroom, a separate toilet and a kitchen. On the semi-basement level, there is also a storage room which could serve as a second bedroom or study.

Just below the main house stands another two-storey historic natural stone house (34.7 m² floor area), which houses a guest bedroom on the ground floor and a workshop in the semi-basement.

All the rooms have been designed with great care, restored to a high technical standard and exude plenty of Canarian charm.

Behind the main house is a water tank with an attached sauna and a shower room, with enough space for an exercise bike. Although the water tank is home to goldfish, it is also popular as a swimming pond.

The entire plot has been cleared and is mowed regularly; it is also fully fenced, providing ideal conditions for keeping animals. On the fully terraced site, there is also a brick-built henhouse (which is currently used as a storage room for garden tools). An impressive array of fruit trees (including avocado, almond, Japanese medlar, mango, olive, orange, lemon, fig, plum, pear, pomegranate and pepper) and native dragon trees provide an idyllic variety of plant life, all of which has been maintained using exclusively organic methods.

The very large plot, measuring just under 8,500 m², consists of two parcels, the majority of which (approx. 5,900 m²) lie within an agricultural settlement area, meaning there is still some scope for development and further buildings or extensions could be approved. However, the entire surrounding area is zoned for purely agricultural use or landscape conservation, ensuring that the wonderful views of nature and the sea, as well as the absolute tranquillity, are preserved.

The property is, of course, connected to the public electricity and drinking water networks and has a SIM-based internet connection. In addition to the municipal irrigation water, share-based water is available for garden watering, which is billed according to consumption. It is accessible via a public side road that is easily accessible by a standard car. A parking space and a garage (25 m² floor area) are provided.

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.
