In total there are approximately 18,300 square metres (4.5 acres) of grounds with the property thus ensuring a considerable degree of privacy. Special care has been given to the design and creation of the garden stocked with a huge and wide selection of Canarian palms and cacti.

Taro de Chimida is accessed via imposing entrance and exit gates which are linked through a U shaped driveway. A colourful wind mobile designed by Manrique sits proudly at the entrance. The main residence totals approximately 850 square metres and there are four en-suite bedrooms (2 doubles, 2 singles). The master bathroom includes a jacuzzi and separate shower, while two bathrooms, including the master bathroom, offer a tropical garden. The living room/dining area has a lava fire place. In addition, the residence has a study, a state-of-the-art Italian kitchen, a pantry and a recreation room. The house is wired for stereo sound, the study has high speed internet and fax access and the recreation area offers a pool table and cinema dolby surround system.

A huge covered terrace area is accessed from the living room, the master bedroom and the kitchen. A true swimmer’s delight is found with the 10 x 5 metre heated swimming pool. The property also provides for an attached staff apartment.

The interior design of the house successfully combines the contemporary with the classical. For example, original floor tiles from an Italian church sit comfortably with a modern timber ceiling with sky lights, or the state-of-the-art Italian kitchen is contained within original lava walls and possesses amazing stone arches across the entire ceiling, and traditional terracotta floors blend with modern recessed or suspended lighting.

Externally there is a double garage, two double carports and two detached guest houses with striking artistic features. The guest houses exemplify the unique use of volcanic rock, which personifies the natural environment of the Island. Each guest house forms a separate and completely self-contained unit with its own terrace space and is equipped with the latest modern conveniences.
