Everything currently on my desk.
Twelve properties this spring. Each one walked in person, with notes. If nothing here fits — write to me and I'll keep an eye out.
Chalet con piscina y 1.900 m² de jardín — Calle San Isidro, La Orotava
A 536 m² standalone chalet on a generous 1,900 m² plot, right in central La Orotava. Three storeys, five bedrooms, five bathrooms, garage. The garden setup is rare for an old-town property: pool, sauna, wine cellar, three vegetable patches, sports court, pergola porch. Built in 1970 and renovated since (kitchen, living areas, accessibility upgrades, solar panels on the roof). Asking €1.1M — fair value sits around €940,000, realistic price around €910,000. The listing is about 17% above what similar homes go for, but this kind of property moves much faster than a heritage mansion: standalone villas with a pool typically sell in 100–150 days at fair price. An offer in the €920–960k range is a defensible opening.

Casona BIC La Orotava — Calle Nicandro González Borges
A historic mansion right in La Orotava's old town — 722 m² across two floors with a 523 m² garden, ten bedrooms, a central courtyard, and a rooftop with views over the Atlantic. Officially listed as a heritage building. Currently running as a boutique guesthouse with the vacation rental licence already in place. Asking €1.425M is roughly fair for an old-town mansion of this size, but realistically the price would need to come down to around €1.09M to sell in normal time. This kind of property is slow to move — 18 to 24 months on the market is the rule, not the exception. The right buyer here is someone running a boutique hotel or buying for legacy, not a typical homeowner.

Casona BIC 1870 con vistas al mar — Puerto de la Cruz
A 404 m² heritage home from 1870 on a big 2,449 m² urban plot in San Antonio, Puerto de la Cruz. Six rooms with high ceilings, sea views. Asking €650,000. The catch: it's been barely livable for decades. Floors, kitchen, electrics, plumbing all need replacing. A builder I trust quoted €800–850 per m² for the work — about €333,000. That's better than typical for heritage homes. So in current condition, it's worth around €545,000 (€878k once renovated, minus the renovation cost). The harder part is finding the buyer. People willing to take on an 1870 heritage home that needs €333k of work are rare — maybe 5 to 15 motivated buyers globally per year. Homes like this take 12 to 24 months to sell, a quarter never sell at all, and most come down 15% before they do. Realistic price is around €465,000. My target is €465–490k. At that price, all-in cost (purchase plus renovation plus buying costs) is roughly €860k against a finished value of about €880k — real margin, and a fair price for both sides given how few buyers there actually are. Above this band you're paying the seller to wait. Below €450k the seller walks.
