Villa for sale in Monte León, San Bartolomé de Tirajana, Gran Canaria

Kairos, in Greek mythology, is defined as that fleeting moment, that ideal moment when something important happens. Kairos is what the creator of this marvellous property defines as the moment when he had the idea of turning this inhospitable space into one of the most marvellous properties on the island today.

It is a place to dream, to create, to be inspired by the lush and, why not say it, wild gardens, purposely created to generate that sense of seclusion that the owner dreamed of.

Built in 1973 and with a surface area of 920m2, this property is a mixture of styles, ranging from Provençal with its spacious, elegant and unpretentious rooms, where light and nature are intertwined; Mediterranean, where the furniture and decorative elements in natural materials such as rattan and wood fill the bedrooms with warmth, industrial with a kitchen prepared for the most expert cooks where no detail is lacking and an architecture, in some areas of the house, such as the entrance hall, reminiscent of the typical interior gardens of the traditional houses of Vegueta. It is undoubtedly a delight of sensations, colours and atmospheres for lovers of design and architecture.

On entering the house we find the aforementioned rectangular interior garden, which acts as a distribution axis, from where we can find most of the bedrooms, all of them with en suite bathrooms, renovated in 2004 and clad with stonework from Arucas and Ayagaures; the kitchen and the dining room with space for 10 diners.

On the ground floor we find the extraordinary living room with double height and ceiling with a specialised design to make the acoustics a dream for music lovers. One more bedroom, and undoubtedly one of the most idyllic spaces of the villa, the impressive main garden with its 300m2 of lawns, palm trees and all kinds of trees and shrubs. Next to this garden, we find another space with similar characteristics, but adapted for barbecues, where you can enjoy a good meal while appreciating the spectacular views and sunsets.

At the other end of the house, we find the large swimming pool where you can enjoy the wonderful climate of the island and have a cup of tea or read a good book in the picturesque hut next to the pool.

Continuing along this side of the house, we find a small house with stone walls and wooden ceilings, a wrought iron kitchen, a wood cooker and a terrace surrounded by trees. There are two more cottages, one with a bedroom, living room-kitchen and terrace, a toilet and a bathroom with shower. The other house is a studio with a bed on a wooden platform with sloping ceilings.

Finally, as the icing on the cake, there is a lake with a jetty, a tennis court, a sauna and an impressive cave converted into a wine cellar.

Without a doubt, words and images cannot do justice to the sensation and wellbeing you feel when you are there. Every detail, every texture, every space must be seen and experienced in situ...
