Description
Some properties impress through their design, while others captivate through their history, character and a sense of place that simply cannot be recreated. This remarkable traditional Lanzarote finca, situated in the peaceful enclave of Maciot, belongs firmly to the latter.
Set on a plot of approximately 1,400 m², the property enjoys a wonderfully tranquil setting surrounded by Lanzarote's dramatic volcanic landscape, with magnificent uninterrupted views towards the Atlantic Ocean, Lobos, Fuerteventura and the mountains of Los Ajaches.
The finca has a fascinating history. Once home to an elderly Lanzaroteña who lived here with her donkeys, it was acquired over 30 years ago by two English brothers. They carefully adapted the property for comfortable living while respecting much of its original layout and bringing unused spaces back to life. For decades, their families enjoyed this unique island retreat.
Today, the property comprises several independent living areas arranged around traditional courtyards and terraces, creating the charming atmosphere of a small private village.
A generous parking area leads through a traditional doorway into the large central courtyard, the heart of the finca. Around it are the main family kitchen, two additional rooms offering potential for adaptation, a laundry room and a separate bathroom.
The first independent living area is a charming one-bedroom suite with its own bathroom and a delightful terrace beneath a traditional timber pergola, offering beautiful views across the countryside towards the ocean.
The second accommodation features one bedroom, a bathroom and a private terrace. A third independent unit provides one bedroom, a bathroom and a small kitchen area. This space was originally the finca's aljibe, a traditional water cistern, subsequently adapted for residential use.
Whitewashed walls, exposed stonework, timber-beamed ceilings, sheltered patios and traditional terraces preserve the authentic atmosphere of a Canarian country home. The natural connection between indoor and outdoor spaces is one of the property's most appealing qualities.
The finca is habitable in its present condition, although it would benefit from general maintenance, updating and refurbishment. Its greatest appeal lies in the opportunity to restore and enhance its original features without losing the character that makes it so special.
This is not a newly renovated villa, but a property for those who appreciate traditional architecture, history and the peaceful beauty of Lanzarote. The shade beneath the old palm tree, sunlit courtyards and uninterrupted sea views create a timeless atmosphere that is increasingly difficult to find.
