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

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

This is an old water mill that has been lovingly restored into a detached house, located in the picturesque neighborhood of El Mundillo, on the outskirts of the town of Santa Lucía de Tirajana, and approximately a 40-minute drive from Vecindario. This rustic and welcoming property sits on a 316 m² plot and is arranged over three floors of 47 m² open-plan each. It offers spacious outdoor areas, partially covered with artificial turf, ideal for outdoor leisure, with a terrace, a barbecue area, and small gardens featuring olive trees, cacti, and succulents.

The mill house has been fitted and furnished while carefully respecting 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, plus air conditioning. From the bedroom, you can access a beautiful Canarian balcony covered with artificial turf, where you can enjoy stunning views over the surrounding palm grove and the Barranco de Tirajana.

On the ground floor, there is a cozy living-dining area with a sofa, a dining table, and a beautiful suspended wooden staircase, surrounded by rustic details such as old mill implements and the original mill machinery, carefully restored. The basement houses the wheel with ladles which, driven by the water, made the millstones turn; it has also been set up as a lounge area, with a sofa bed, a table, and chairs, creating a versatile space for leisure or for hosting guests.

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

As an added feature, about 300 meters from the property there is an enclosed plot of approximately 300 m², surrounded by olive trees, intended for vehicle parking. From this point, access to the property is on foot, via a rural path—part of the route has a steep slope, so it may not be suitable for people with reduced mobility. This space improves logistics and adds value to the property for both the owner’s use and for guests or visitors.

An ideal property for those looking for a unique residence, but especially for those who want to invest with character in the growing rural tourism sector in Gran Canaria. The home currently has a “Casa Rural” license, a highly valuable feature that allows the tourism activity to continue immediately, subject in each case to the relevant administrative procedures.

Its historical character, architectural uniqueness, 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.
