Villa For Sale In Conil Lanzarote €495,000.

Situated in the picturesque village of Conil this very stylish villa with amazing views has only recently been completed, this villa is conveniently situated just outside Lanzarote’s main tourist resort of Puerto del Carmen.

It is also near the exclusive Yachting Marina of Puerto Calero. The villa is south facing and boasts spectacular views of the surrounding countryside, Atlantic ocean and neighboring island of Fuerteventura.

This villa comes with a plot of 1,109.30 sqm, it is on the perimeter of the building zone in the village so the land in front of the villa can not be built on, therefore retaining its spectacular views. It has a built area of 222 sqm on two stories with a central courtyard of an additional 36 sqm. The first floor consists of Master suit  with en-suite bathroom and roof terrace. The ground floor consists of 3 double bedrooms with a family bathroom, a large Kitchen Dinning room that opens onto the central courtyard and a large lounge that looks over the Swimming Pool area with see views. There is also a handy workshop and large garage.

The garage floors have been laid.

It is very important to get this right, any floor that is going to have cars driving over it must be laid correctly. First of all we set in uPVC expansion joints (not available in Lanzarote but can be ordered through TECNOL who will import them for you). These have a duel purpose, they are laid level so we can use them to level the concrete screed and they also act as expansion joints which stop the floor cracking. Any floor over 25msq should have them.

The concrete is ordered as ready mix, this is also important so that we have a good consistency of sand to cement mix. This is a a very strong mixture of HORMIGON HA-25/B/20llla. We must lay the floor quickly as we have to wait approx 4 hours for it to reach the correct consistency for us to polish out the lines left by the straightedge. We use a wet mixture of cement and compact-tuna on the hardened concrete surface while it it still slightly wet, this creates a really tough bonded surface that will not crumble under the wait of cars.

The aluminium balcony’s and railings  have been fitted as well as the gates fro the stairs.

We have finished the downstairs tiling of the patios and the rear stairwells.  I have fitted a metal galvanized edging to the stair treads for added strength and for long term wear and tare.
