Finca/Country House for sale in Telde, Gran Canaria

A unique, detached house from a former grand estate (with an imposing character and charm) in a beautiful location on Gran Canaria.

Chalet/antique house (1928)/estate for sale between Telde and Valsequillo in the beautiful Valle de San Roque valley on Gran Canaria. Wonderfully situated, with distant sea views; in clear weather, the neighboring islands of Lanzarote and Fuerteventura can be seen, as well as views extending into the mountains up to an altitude of 1,400 meters. It is located in the island’s best climate zone—not as hot as the south and not as cold and rainy as the north of the island.

Perfectly and very peacefully situated at approximately 300 meters above sea level, yet not too far from shopping facilities: by car, you can reach the large town of Telde in 10–15 minutes and the capital, Las Palmas, in 30 minutes. Living area of approximately 200 m² (currently with 2 bedrooms in use, but it can be configured with up to 6 bedrooms), plus approximately 20 m² of basement space (wine cellar, dry, with 80 cm-thick walls). The house is built to be exceptionally stable and robust, with thick walls designed to last for generations using traditional construction methods, perfectly adapted to the local climate.

Adjacent to the house is the orchard, with mangoes, bananas, lemons, mandarins, oranges, pomegranates, and avocados. It covers approximately 1,000 m² (so there is also room for vegetables, if desired). The house offers 3 terraces with different views and varying periods of sun and shade, plus a 150 m² roof terrace. There is also sufficient space to build a pool, ideally adjoining the rear terrace. The total plot size is 1,350 m².

The architectural style resembles that of a former manor house or grand estate, with a skylight in the large dining room and a kind of conservatory in the entrance area, which also invites you to dine or enjoy coffee. With a total of 10 rooms and an excellent layout, the house offers special and individual design possibilities. A second bathroom could be installed relatively easily, if desired, as could a fireplace for an additional wood-burning stove (open fireplace) in the large dining room and also in the kitchen, if you would like to live more self-sufficiently. Whether antique, rustic, or modern, everything is possible here, according to your wishes.

The estate also has water rights, ensuring irrigation water. The water supply for the house and the electricity (9.3 kW) are connected to the public network and available in sufficient capacity, so that several appliances can be operated simultaneously without tripping the circuit breaker. Telephone, internet, and a satellite TV system with a dish on the roof, offering German and English-language channels, are available.

Unfortunately, the photos can convey the true character and atmosphere of the house and property only to a very limited extent, so I recommend viewing it in person.

The owner is over 80 years old and now lives permanently in Germany again. Unfortunately, he has not been able to use the house very often in recent years or continue developing it, so the price has now been reduced to just €495,000 (negotiable). No agency fees.
