A 2025 draws to a close, we can look back on a wonderful first full year spent in Pego.
We’ve finally finished the town house a project which has taken almost a decade to complete. It’s far from the renovation we envisaged when we put an offer in back in 2016, and has been the most challenging renovation to date in so many ways. Though the sale was much quicker, with an asking price offer from the first viewers. It does mean that by February 2026, Project Pego will be home for a new family.
In the campo, our villa build is steaming ahead, with foundations and structure completed by a local building company in the heat of the Spanish summer. Since November, we’ve been hard at work with Gary to get the outer bricks built, and when we knocked off for Christmas it was a good 50% complete.
From tomorrow, we’re back on site, only, with the impending sale of home, we’re be working on transforming the Puku Caravan which we brought to Pego back in 2017 into something which resembles home for a while.
Can it really be a grand design home build without a caravan home for a while?
And, in true Metcalfe fashion, there’s another project in the way. Affectionately known as the ‘Pigeon Shed’, we’ve started a new Spanish town house renovation, which we hope to complete for sale in 2026.
2026 will be busy. Busier than most.
But probably more fun. And I can’t wait for it to begin!
