Finca/Country House for sale in Santa Lucía de Tirajana, Gran Canaria

Exquisitely restored old water mill as a home / Santa Lucía de Tirajana

This is an old water mill renovated into an independent home, located in the picturesque neighborhood of El Mundillo, on the outskirts of the town of Santa Lucía de Tirajana and about 40 minutes by car from Vecindario. This rustic and welcoming property sits on a 316 m² plot and is laid out over three floors of 47 m² open-plan each. It features spacious outdoor areas, partially covered with artificial grass, perfect for outdoor leisure, with a terrace, a barbecue area, and small gardens with olive trees, cacti, and succulents.

The mill-house has been equipped and furnished with careful respect for traditional Canarian architecture, without giving up comfort. On the upper floor, there is a bedroom with a large double bed (1.80 x 2.00 m), a small sitting area, and a romantic full bathroom with an antique bathtub, as well as air conditioning. From the bedroom, you can access a beautiful Canarian balcony, covered with artificial grass, offering stunning views over the surrounding palm grove and the Barranco de Tirajana.

On the ground floor, there is a cozy living-dining-kitchen space with a sofa, a dining table, and a lovely suspended wooden staircase, surrounded by rustic details such as old harnesses and the original mill machinery, carefully restored. The basement houses the wheel with scoops that, moved by the water, made the millstones turn; it has also been set up as a living area, with a sofa bed, table, and chairs, creating a versatile space for leisure or to receive guests.

Outside, in front of the main entrance, there is a terrace equipped with cane furniture, and on a lower level there is a built-in barbecue and an outdoor area with a table and wooden benches.

As an add-on, about 300 meters from the property there is an enclosed plot of approximately 300 m² intended for vehicle parking. It is important to note that access from this parking area to the home is on foot, via a rural path; part of it has a very steep slope and a considerable level difference. For this reason, access requires good physical mobility and can be demanding, so the property is not recommended for people with reduced mobility, walking difficulties, or for those looking for a comfortable and direct vehicle-access route to the home.

An ideal property for those seeking a unique residence, but especially for those who want to invest with soul in the growing rural tourism sector in Gran Canaria. The home currently has a Rural House license (Casa Rural), a highly valuable feature that allows the tourist activity to continue immediately, subject in each case to whatever administrative procedures may apply.

Its historical character, its architectural uniqueness, its location in the heart of nature, and its track record as tourist accommodation make it a rare opportunity within one of the island’s most in-demand segments.
