Exclusive estate
with a mansion and a
parklike garden
in Tacande,
community of El
Paso, on ca. 640 m
above sea level in a
charming countryside
environment with an
unobstructable
superb view across
the Aridane Valley
and the sea. The
modern house has
been built with
Ytong-bricks
according to German
building standards.
The windows and
doors are equipped
with insulating
glass, the floor and
the roof are
insulated, it has a
central gas heating
system and
beautiful, typical
canarian roofs. The
exceptional
architecture and a
number of elaborate
details make this
home a very special
experience.
The house
measures about 180
m2 overbuilt space
and from the
architectural point
of view is
successfully split
up into a living and
sleeping area.
Through the entrance
alley one gets to
the centre of the
house, the generous,
bright dining room
with an integrated,
modern and fully
equipped kitchen
with a separate
store room. Large
glass sliding doors
give way from the
dining area to a
spacious and
remarkable winter
garden which has
electric sunblinds
installed outside to
create shade in the
inside. The
bright living
area,
a tower with a
diameter of 8 m, has
a state of the art
glass pyramid in the
ceiling and most of
the windows face
south-west.
The
sleeping area
is an inventive,
semi-circled bedroom
with a canarian
wooden roof, a
luxurious bathroom
with a shower and a
corner bath. The
guest area has a
sleeping-living area
with a separate exit
to the garden, the
kitchen and a
bathroom with a
shower. Furthermore
there is a generous
alley dressing room
with large built-in
closets and a
further, separate
guest WC with enough
space for a washing
machine and a dryer.
The property
measures ca. 17.000
m2
of which 5.000 m2
are fenced and
planted. The
entrance of the
property has a small
forecourt which
serves as a parking
lot for guests. The
entrance is equipped
with an automatic
roller door. In
spite of the
hillside situation
the property is not
steep but softly
declines to the
west, there are no
steep stairs,
everything is easily
accessible. About
300 m2 of the
terraces and paths
are tiled with
natural stone plates
(Lajas). The pergola
with a spacious
sitting corner
offers shade and a
terrific sea view.
There is a garden
illumination and
there are power
connections. A
viewing platform
offers a panoramic
view across the sea
and the mountains.
The whole terrain is
elaborately arranged
with natural stone
walls and terraces,
gravel and tiled
paths lead to
resting corners. A
pond completes the
scenery – a small
paradise for
everybody.
The automatic
irrigation system
has 15 separate
lines which all give
the optimum amount
of water to the
abundant vegetation.
There is a large
variety of fruit,
such as oranges,
lemons, grapefruit,
guaves, kiwi, plums,
pomegranates,
apricots, mangos,
nispero, avocado and
passion fruit.
Several large figs
and eucalyptus,
canarian pines,
acacias, jacarandas
and pepper trees
give cooling shade
and a pleasant micro
climate. The flowers
are dominated by
numerous hibiscus,
heliconia (some up
to 3 m high!) and
herbs. A winter
garden allows
tomatoes even in the
winter months.
In the entrance area
of the property is a
garage
with space for two
cars. At the moment
it is used as an
office. The
gardening tools are
stored in a
large shack.
Water is supplied by
an own
water share
(Fuente del Pino).
There also is a
water tank
of
40.000 L
for watering the
garden.
The house has
SAT-TV, a phone line
and ADSL. If wished
the new furnishings
and equipment can be
taken over for
15.000,- Euros. On
top of the
furniture, tools and
electric devices
(washing machine,
refrigerator, dryer
etc.) there is a
home cinema with a 4
m wide screen and an
older Citroen Xantia
available, ideal as
a second car. A
Terios Jeep can be
purchased for
5.000,- Euros, which
is far below its
actual value.
The dream mansion
for the
sophisticated taste!
