Description:

Total renovation project: A comprehensive transformation in which the existing structural framework and foundations are retained, while the property is completely stripped back and renewed, including the roofs, glazing, installations and finishes.
The architecture has been conceived in a distinctive, organic Wabi-Sabi Tropical style, combining understated luxury with natural textures and a strong connection to the surrounding landscape.
The property is arranged over two floors, with seamless integration between the indoor and outdoor living spaces.
Authentic, high-quality materials such as aged timber, clay, lime plaster and natural stone are used throughout.
The interiors are exceptionally light and airy, with an open-plan layout oriented towards the terraces and the lake.
Wide, floor-to-ceiling glass sliding doors create a direct connection with the surrounding nature and allow the landscape to become an integral part of the home.
The generous main living area on the upper level features a sophisticated lounge beneath a high, handcrafted timber ceiling.
The kitchen forms an open-plan space with the dining area and has been designed around clean lines, functionality and understated elegance.
The property comprises six spacious bedrooms, seven luxurious bathrooms and two guest toilets.
Natural flooring materials with matt finishes and warm sandy tones create a calm and refined atmosphere throughout.
The lower level accommodates several bedroom suites, each offering direct access to the covered terraces and swimming pool.
Additional luxury facilities include a private gym and a dedicated wellness or spa area on the lower floor.
Separate technical rooms and practical storage areas are also provided.
Extensive private parking is available within the grounds, accessed via a secure private driveway.
 
Additional features:
Air conditioning for both cooling and heating.
Bespoke fitted wardrobes.
Double glazing with recessed window profiles.
Frameless glass balustrades on the terraces, preserving the uninterrupted views.
Atmospheric built-in fire pits on the terraces.
Green roof structures planted with tropical vegetation.

The project and building licence for this extensive renovation have been fully granted and approved.
In addition, the property already holds an official Licencia de Primera Ocupación (First Occupancy Licence), issued in July 1997 based on the original building licence granted in 1989. This provides a clear and documented legal and historical status for the property as a habitable country residence, with the relevant rights and documentation transferable to the purchaser.
