This mansion, dating back to 1670, was originally built for the Military Governor on the island. After a volcanic eruption in 1706 shifted the island's port operations to Santa Cruz, the mansion lost its original purpose. Its subsequent use is unclear, but records indicate a small shop operated there in 1923. Acquired by the current owners in 2004, the mansion underwent an 18-year restoration, utilizing original stone and Tea wood native to Tener...ife and La Palma Islands.
The ground floor, once a stable, now houses the India Room and Study, featuring artifacts from India and memorabilia of Admiral Nelson. The central patio, adorned with a fish pond and fountain, grants access to various rooms and the Gallery displaying Virgin Mary paintings and Masonic chairs.
The outdoor space includes en-suite bedrooms, a shaded patio, and a garden with a water tank. A stone staircase leads to the first floor, where interconnected rooms are lavishly furnished with antiques. The kitchen, a blend of charm and modernity, boasts all-electric appliances.
The second floor features a library with a diverse book collection. Two doors open onto a roof terrace with panoramic views. The garden, with a street entrance, is classified as urban land, allowing potential development with proper planning permission.
The tranquil neighborhood, situated at the end of a dead-end street, includes the Chapel of Las Angustias, housing the renowned statue of Mary of Angustias. The property's classification permits development, and past planning consent for a double garage may be revisited, depending on the main house's use.
