Astute buyers of Mallorca real estate know they are investing in a refined lifestyle. That is why property on the Mediterranean island remains in high demand amongst those who are looking to upgrade to a more distinguished and prestigious way of life.

Mallorca understands the past as well as the future. It boasts a thoroughly modern infrastructure, whilst being rich in culture and steeped in history. With 300 days of sunshine annually, more than 20 golf courses, luxury marinas and some of the most spectacular scenery in Europe, property seekers buy with the confidence that their island home will remain a sound investment.

With Michelin-starred restaurants, bodegas producing quality Mallorcan wines, stunning beaches and quaint villages, the island is amongst the most sophisticated destinations anywhere on the Mediterranean Sea. Added to that, the modern international airport that serves the island makes Mallorca quickly and easily accessible from anywhere in Europe.

Stringent building regulations ensure that new homes are of a high standard. High-rises are banned in a bid to avoid the glut of development that has plagued mainland Spain’s real estate market, and many areas have a green belt designation that requires builders of detached homes to construct only on large plots.

Mallorca’s property market is driven primarily by German speakers, followed by British and Scandinavians. Recently, buyers have come from Russia, China, Argentina, Netherlands, France and Italy.

These buyers place high value on location as well as quality of construction. They come with demands for properties with a thoughtful layout and a superior level of decor. But while tastes are sophisticated and budgets high, supply is tight and as a result, there has been an upward pressure on prices.

Given the strong uptick in sales activity for unique and irreplaceable luxury properties throughout the world, this magnificent country estate is sure to impress discriminating buyers. It is a prestige country mansion that boasts an abundance of striking beauty and sophistication, architecturally and artistically, in a natural setting. Radiating quiet grandeur amongst sumptuous palms and Mediterranean gardens, the incredible residence is a true ode to elegance.

Positioned commandingly in a huge swathe of beautiful countryside, the singular estate graces an impressive 123-hectare plot of land, affording all the privacy and tranquillity one could wish for. The refined country home stands in a coveted setting of unspoilt natural splendour, enjoying a unique location close to the beach in Cala San Vicente.

Brimming with the charm and character that comes from its gracious 400 years of existence, the luxurious country home was masterfully renovated in 2007. Boasting an exemplary finish and presented to the highest standard, the home embraces the finest structural elements of its era. It is a harmonious blend of timeless architecture that pays homage to the natural beauty of its breathtaking location.

With all the latest features and no detail overlooked, Old World romance, rustic ambience and stylish modernity are eloquently reimagined as an elegant showplace for today’s discerning style of family living and sophisticated entertaining.
