Casa Blanca – A Home with History. A Piece of La Palma.

 

Some houses are simply beautiful.

Others tell a story.

Casa Blanca belongs to the second kind.

 

Even before stepping inside, the property reveals part of its history. The old stone water basin at the entrance bears the engraved year 1924 – a charming reminder of a home whose origins, according to its owners, most likely date back even further.

As you walk through the impressive solid wooden doors made from the island's precious Tea wood, cross the unusually wide original floorboards and look up to the traditional Canarian timber ceilings, you immediately realise that something truly special has been preserved here.

The thick natural stone walls and generous proportions reflect a time when houses were built with craftsmanship, patience and the intention of lasting for generations.

Nothing here feels artificial.

Nothing has been recreated.

Instead, the original character has been carefully preserved while discreet modern improvements ensure comfortable living today.

Not everything is perfect.

But everything is genuine.

And perhaps that is exactly what makes Casa Blanca so special.

In the heart of the village. Surprisingly peaceful.

Casa Blanca is only a few minutes' walk from the centre of Puntagorda.

Supermarkets, restaurants, the pharmacy, Town Hall and the popular weekly farmers' market are all within easy walking distance.

Despite this convenient location, the house enjoys remarkable peace and privacy. Situated on a quiet one-way street used almost exclusively by local residents, it offers a lifestyle where everyday errands can be done on foot while still enjoying the tranquillity of a private home surrounded by nature.

The property benefits from beautiful views towards the Atlantic Ocean, the surrounding mountains and the picturesque village itself.

 

A garden that has grown together with the house.

This is not a perfectly landscaped show garden.

Fortunately.

Instead, it is a garden that has evolved naturally over many decades, filled with fruit trees, flowers, traditional stone walls and quiet corners to enjoy throughout the year.

Mangoes, guavas, cherimoyas, figs, oranges, lemons, pomegranates, olive trees and grapevines grow alongside sunny terraces where mornings begin with birdsong and evenings end beneath the warm colours of the setting sun.

The terraced garden is easy to maintain and benefits from an automatic irrigation system supplied by agricultural water, billed according to consumption.

One particularly charming spot is the terrace shaded by mature grapevines. During the summer months, the leafy canopy provides natural shade, creating the perfect place to enjoy breakfast, a glass of wine in the evening or simply a peaceful moment overlooking the garden and the rooftops of Puntagorda.

At approximately 760 metres above sea level, the pleasant climate allows outdoor living almost all year round.

This sense of space extends even further thanks to the adjoining plot, bringing the total property size to approximately 2,655 m². It offers additional privacy, generous open space and endless possibilities – whether as an orchard, a natural garden, a vegetable and herb garden, space for chickens or beehives, a wonderful play area for children or simply a peaceful green retreat where nature can be enjoyed every day.

For those who enjoy gardening, painting, photography or simply spending time outdoors, this additional land becomes part of the lifestyle that makes Casa Blanca so unique.

 

Roof terrace, views and additional spaces

The roof terrace, together with its small adjoining room, offers beautiful views across the rooftops of Puntagorda, the Atlantic Ocean and the surrounding mountains.

It is one of those places where time seems to slow down naturally.

The property also includes several useful additional spaces:

  • Utility room with shower room

  • Separate garden storage building

  • Small traditional cave

 

These practical areas provide excellent storage and additional flexibility for everyday life.

 

Traditional character with modern comfort

While preserving its authentic Canarian charm, Casa Blanca has been carefully updated over the years.

 

According to the owners, improvements include:

  • Renewed electrical installation

  • Renewed plumbing

  • Roof repaired and insulated

  • Modernised kitchen and bathroom

  • Automatic irrigation system

  • Fibre optic internet available

 

All improvements have been carried out with great respect for the original architecture, allowing the house to retain its unique atmosphere while offering the comforts expected today.

 

Currently operating as a Holiday Rental

Casa Blanca is currently licensed and successfully operated as a Holiday Rental (Vivienda Vacacional).

Prospective buyers should note that this licence does not automatically transfer to a new owner. Anyone wishing to continue the holiday rental activity will need to submit a new application under the regulations in force at the time of purchase. Approval cannot be guaranteed.

For buyers intending to use the property as a private residence or second home, this has no impact whatsoever.

 

Who will fall in love with Casa Blanca?

Casa Blanca is not a house for everyone.

It is a home for people who appreciate authenticity.

For those who love traditional architecture, original Tea wood, thick stone walls and homes that have developed character over more than a century.

For those seeking peace without isolation.

For those dreaming of growing their own fruit, keeping a few chickens, creating a beautiful garden or simply enjoying a slower, more meaningful way of life.

 

Our conclusion

Some houses impress.

Others stay with you.

Casa Blanca belongs firmly to the second category.

Its true value cannot be measured only in square metres.

It lies in its history.

Its authenticity.

Its remarkable original features.

Its beautiful garden.

Its generous grounds.

And above all, in the feeling that this is not simply another property...

...but a home with a soul.

Perhaps that is Casa Blanca's greatest strength: it does not try to appeal to everyone.

But for the right person, it may well become the home they have been searching for all along.

Curious to experience it for yourself?

We at MI CASA EN LA PALMA look forward to showing you this very special property.

WHAT'S AROUND THE CORNER?
=> Puntagorda

PUNTAGORDA is located in a charming, gently sloping hilly landscape, which is mainly covered with almond and pine trees.

The municipality is bordered to the north by the Hizcagua ravine, which separates it from the municipality of Garafía, and to the south by the Barranco de Garome ravine, which borders Tijarafe. The cliffs around the mouth of the Barranco de Hizcagua gorge have been declared a natural monument.

Tips:

Almond Blossom Festival: Depending on the blossom, the ‘Fiesta del Almendro en Flor’ almond blossom festival is celebrated in Puntagorda every year at the end of January/beginning of February. You have to see this pink and white carpet of blossoms!

Here you can also try salted almonds and other products made from almonds... not to mention the local wine!

La Iglesia de San Mauro Abad: This wonderful old church from the 16th century is located directly on the Barranco de San Mauro gorge with a magnificent view of the sea and is surrounded by eucalyptus trees.

 

El Pino de la Virgen: The pine tree is over 6 metres tall. A small image of the Virgin Mary is embedded in the trunk, a place of worship for all the inhabitants of Puntagorda.

El Mirador de Miraflores: From here you have a panoramic view of the two districts of El Pino and El Pinar. You must come here when the almond trees in the valley are in bloom and a white blanket covers all the trees!

El Mirador de Los Dragos: A huge, symbolic dragon tree dominates this viewpoint, which offers a magnificent view of the El Roque gorge and is passed by an old royal road.

Mercadillo del Agricultor de Puntagorda: In Puntagorda, the farmers' market opens its doors every Saturday and Sunday in a hall opposite the El Fayal leisure complex. It offers everything from fruit and vegetables, often organically grown, to cheese, wine, bread and mojos, as well as homemade pastries and sweets.

But if you're looking for pottery, embroidery, leatherwork or jewellery, you'll find it here too!

 

Fiestas: In the second half of August, celebrations are held in honour of San Mauro Abad, the patron saint of the municipality.

 

La Playa de Poris de Puntagorda: Small but beautiful. The bay at the foot of the cliffs consists mainly of rocks. Remote, secluded and perfect for explorers!

 

Restaurante Jardín de los Naranjos: Rustic restaurant specialising in Palmerian dishes. Plentiful and delicious!

 

Restaurante Parrillada Pino de la Virgen: Typical hearty Canarian home cooking, such as stews or various types of grilled meat.

...and much more!!!
