Finca/Country House for sale in Macher, Tías, Lanzarote

Traditional finca-style property renovated and extended in 2002 in the much sought-after area of Macher Bajo. The plot is approximately 5000m2 and the property is made up of a main residence of 265m2 and three other buildings which have built areas of 74m2, 107m2 and 28m2.

You can enter the main house either through a rear door entrance from the covered parking area or via a traditional courtyard and wooden patio doors to the front aspect. Both entrances lead into a hallway from which the other rooms radiate. The house is built in a u-shape and to one side of the hallway is a room that the previous owner used as a kitchen and dining area with a pantry (this could essentially be the third bedroom). This leads through to a lovely open-plan kitchen and dining room with volcanic stone feature walls, tiled floors and high wooden ceilings. To the front of this area is a stunning sitting room accessed through a stone archway and this spacious room has many of the same features with wonderful stonework, wooden patio doors opening onto the garden and courtyard, high wooden ceilings and quality wooden floors.

To the other side of the hallway is a small bedroom, a bathroom and a large master bedroom with an equally large en-suite bathroom. The master bedroom has patio doors to access the outside terraces and garden. Most of the rooms lead out to the traditional central courtyard which previously had a pond for fish with a small fountain. This gated courtyard then opens out into a very extensive garden with a small summer house.

Following a stone pathway you arrive at what was once the original stone aljibe (water storage area). This has been turned into a cool and shady bodega area, a place to enjoy a good glass of Canarian wine or have a romantic supper! Also in this area there was once a shady place for family barbeques and a couple of additional small buildings for storage etc.

The property is approached by a long, gated driveway and fronted by a row of trees and lies to the centre of this discreet and private large plot. There is a road to the front but the trees provide an effective barrier. The driveway leads up to a massive parking area and a double car port. Behind the car port is another building which could be utilised in numerous ways.

To one side of the plot is a long building, partially enclosed which could be used as an additional car port, workshop, art studio, office or potentially as additional living area.

With the size and various buildings on this generous plot this property could certainly be utilised in many different ways; both residential and commercial. The location is perfect having both a country residence feel but with easy accessibility to all amenities. The old town of Puerto del Carmen is a 5-minute drive, the beaches a 5-10 minute drive and the marina of Puerto Calero a 5-7 minute drive. It takes 10 minutes to travel to the airport.

In terms of space, built area, location and massive potential, this property has the lot. The gardens and outside areas are in need of some maintenance and new owners may want to change the internal layout of the main property but the price reflects this.
