Cardenas Real Estate Agent Blog - Gran Canaria

Just imagine a luxury villa with views of the mountains and the sea, and set in the serene and beautiful landscape of Gran Canaria, less than 10 minutes from the nightlife centre of Maspalomas. Sounds ideal, and that’s exactly what you get with Monte Leon, a small select development of 10 luxury 2 bedroom villas, built on 2 floors with a heated pool and car port.

Maspalomas has so much to offer from the rolling sand dunes to a championship golf course and some of the best beaches in Gran Canaria. The nightlife is vibrant and offers bars, restaurants and clubs to dance the night away. All that will be within easy reach but you would hardly realise it from the peaceful setting of Monte Leon. The mountains are your backdrop here, and the surrounding greenery adds to the feeling of seclusion. There’s plenty of room to spread out, the en suite bedrooms, living/dining room and kitchen are all spacious and finished to the highest quality with air conditioning and even solar panels for warm water. Families will find these villas the perfect place to live and get a taste of the rural side of Gran Canaria without missing out on the important things like schools, shops and of course, the beaches. Monte Leon is a very exclusive and special development where all your home comforts have been considered, its just waiting for you to move in and enjoy.

What would you say to a place where you could live in beautiful seclusion, in a luxury villa with stunning views, and plenty of top quality golf courses within easy reach? Sounds too good to be true? Not in Gran Canaria.

Of course you will want to be near the sea and all the shops and nightlife, again, that is not a problem. Cardenas Estate agents have brought all these winning elements together in the southern area of Gran Canaria. Playa del Ingles, Maspalomas, Puerto Rico, and smaller more intimate beach resorts like Arguineguin are all on the south west corner of the island with four of the islands eight golf courses close to hand.

Monte León may be a development you haven’t heard of so it will come as a lovely surprise when you see the modern luxury villas with plenty of garden space and set against the backdrop of rugged hills and lush green vegetation. Serene and relaxing, they are just the place to get away from it all, and a great base for the golf enthusiast.

Now those four golf courses, you have Anfi Tauro near Puerto Rico and Puerto de Mogan, which has nine holes but will soon have 18. Salobre is near Arguineguin and is a brand new 18 hole delight, and Campo de Golf Maspalomas is a real treat, backing onto the sand dunes national park, with a two storey driving range. Campo de  Meloneras Golf, close to Maspalomas and Arguineguin, has opened recently with a fantastic 18 hole course.

We can’t promise that your game will improve dramatically, but with hours of warm sunshine to play in and an inviting investment property to come home to, you wont be losing too much sleep over your swing.

Anyone interested in sunshine holidays, rewarding property investments and sport in the sun has heard all about Gran Canaria but it still has a few gems tucked away that it likes to share with the lucky few. Monte Léon is definitely such a gem, tucked away in the hills of Maspalomas, just above the bustling resorts of Playa del Ingles and Maspalomas, it offers a sedate, relaxed and stress free environment with stunning views. Nature is the star as craggy hillsides and lush green trees and plants make a spectacular backdrop for luxurious villas.

One man who knows Monte Léon better than most ids Antonio Garcia de Cardenas, the now retired founder of the family estate agents, Cardenas. It’s 26 years since his dream first took shape but Antonio told Barrie Mahoney why Monte Léon still excites him.

“I love the feeling of space and the natural landscape of Monte Léon with views right down to the sea is simply marvellous. The area is safe and we have good neighbours here, but it’s nice to have sufficient space between each other to enjoy the peace and quiet.”

Nature is very much alive here, not just in the views and the colours. “There are lots of wild birds in this mountainous area, it’s common to see birds of prey like the buzzard, hovering over the land.”

If you want to sample natures charms at close quarters, Antonio can also recommend that. “Many people come to this area for walking or cycling, because the roads are safe and the views spectacular. There are tunnels that carry water away from the reservoirs and they are large enough to walk through. By travelling on foot, you can get to parts of the island that are impossible to reach by car, and to discover areas of natural beauty.”

If that sounds like a challenge to you, Monte Léon is just the place to get to grips with nature, but no one will blame you if you prefer just to sit back, relax and enjoy the views.

It’s like finding a hidden treasure, that moment when you set eyes on the stunning villas in Monte Léon. Set in the hills of Maspalomas, just 15 minutes away from the wide expanses of beach and the rolling sand dunes of Maspalomas in south Gran Canaria, each villa has it’s own individual character and is set on a large plot.

Just look around and you start to appreciate the beauty of the surroundings, nature at it’s finest with rugged hills and stretches of green trees and plants, it’s hard to believe you are so near to the main resorts of the south and facilities such as shops, restaurants and golf courses.

Whether you go for a 5 bedroom villa or something a little smaller, they are all built with luxury in mind and designed to blend in with the backdrop that nature has so kindly provided.
