Townhouse for sale in San Bartolomé de Tirajana, Gran Canaria

Old building in Tunte, a village in the municipality of San Bartolomé de Tirajana, for sale:

A unique building is presented for renovation in the historic center of the municipality of San Bartolomé de Tirajana, also known as Tunte.

In the high area of the municipality of San Bartolomé de Tirajana (at 850 m above sea level), 30-40 minutes by car from Maspalomas, lies this idyllic old town. A charming Canarian village equipped with all basic services. In this place, in an emblematic area called La Montañeta, is the property for sale.

Most of the property consists of an old building, constructed with thick walls of volcanic stone with an astonishing height of 4 m. It is an old gofio mill, built in 1880. Attached to it is the former miller's house, which also has centenary walls, in this case made of rounded stones, as well as old wooden windows and doors. This house was expanded by 36 m² built on the first floor, using concrete blocks and with a flat roof.

Between the ground floor and the upper floor, there is a total of 218 m² of built surface. This construction is for sale, duly registered in the Property Registry.

From the old mill, only its walls remain, along with some beautiful old wooden windows and doors and a small cistern on the floor. The mill's accessories no longer exist, as they were sold in the past.

The current owner converted the old mill into a mechanical workshop and lives in the attached two-story house. Over the years and due to its multiple uses, the entrance door was enlarged, and currently, it features a motorized sectional garage door. This solid and robust building, with about 150 m² of surface and its surprising height, offers many possibilities for use, as it did in the past.

From a gofio mill, the property became the village school, later serving as a dormitory for the school teachers. Over time, it also served as a parish hall and as a hall for a hunters' association. The older inhabitants of the village also remember the mill as the place where the first electricity for the village was generated: at that time, two hours during the night.

The current owner built another structure on top of the old mill's roof using iron beams, block walls, and various materials (metal sheets, wooden boards, etc.), which currently does not meet habitability requirements. Its renovation and completion, according to current requirements, is a possibility, as is its demolition. This part of the property is registered in the cadastre.

The entire building is sold with all the furniture and a large number of "treasures" in various construction and mechanical machinery, antiques of all kinds, and interesting materials for professionals or DIY enthusiasts, construction, and mechanics. Also included in the price is all the equipment of tools and machinery typical of a mechanical workshop, including a lifting platform.
