With space for 84 to sleep, this is a finca for hosting all your friends
As the largest and one of the most popular of the Spanish Balearic islands, Mallorca is packed with spectacular resorts and modern villas, but the truly impressive properties are harder to find. If you’re searching currently, you’re in luck: an incredible 17th-century finca on 300 hectares near Valldemossa, in the heart of the UNESCO world heritage Serra de Tramuntana, is now on sale.
The estate is vast, with multiple buildings surrounded by terraces
The estate holds a large main villa and various buildings, totalling 4,300 m. sq. of internal space, while 400 m. sq. of open terraces as well as a charming Mallorcan courtyard provide external living space. For those looking to combine history with modern luxury living, this finca is impressive and charming – a viewing is sure to melt the heart.
You can hear the horses hooves of history clattering in the internal courtyard
Some authentic features of the buildings have been cherished and dot the superb and vast living space, which includes formal dining and living rooms, a professional kitchen and multiple reception rooms for hosting events, parties or family gatherings.
Multiple reception rooms provide ample space for large gatherings
There will no shortage of space for visitors, with 84 bedrooms spread across the property. These are served by 70 en-suite bathrooms and a further 10 en-suite showers and Jacuzzis, leaving just four people to share a grand bathroom (what hardship!).
Bedrooms are large and impressive, many with balconies and most en-suite
The bedrooms are large and impeccably designed to create suites, with the most impressive containing dressing areas in addition to their en-suite bathrooms. All rooms, reception and bedrooms, bathe in the beautiful Spanish sunshine courtesy of multiple, well-placed windows. Light stone and tiled floors help to ensure the historic stone building never feels dark, welcoming all to enjoy its majestic space.
The house feels historic but is beautifully restored and equipped
The grounds of the estate contain a well-sized swimming pool and a football field, as well as a tennis court (with floodlights for playing after dark). The land (a 36,000 m. sq park) has permissions for hunting, and there is a golf course just a few minutes away for yet another activity option.
The tennis court is one of the many venues for outdoor activities
With parking for 20 cars, there are no reasons why your visitors won’t be flocking to share this incredible finca whenever you open the doors to them. Travel is easy too, with the airport just 15 minutes drive from the finca itself. The main island town of Palma is 10 minutes away, where many amenities and superb restaurants and bars are available for when you seek to escape the grounds of your 17-century country estate….occasionally…
Just five minutes outside the Mallorcan town of Andratx is the stunning port of the same name, reputed as one of the loveliest harbours in the Mediterranen. Sitting pretty on the hill above the harbour – boasting the twin wins of sea and mountain panoramas – is a stunning and exquisitely designed villa on a plot of 100,000 sq m.
A cortijo is a traditional rural dwelling, like a farmhouse – but don’t expect rustic rough-n-ready at this one
The view may be jaw-dropping, but the villa will draw the eye away from the moment you start up the paved private driveway towards the buildings that make up the property: 1,350 sq m including the main residence, two additional buildings, and a barbecue and pool bar area.
The house has been beautifully designed and built to complement the natural area
The main building is designed to optimise the spectacular views, with the ground floor surging into a large open kitchen and dining area where the household and all guests have plenty of space to socialise.
Sleek, spacious and bright spaces are unexpected but welcome, and the kitchen is no exception
There is also a formal dining area, an expansive lounge and a cosy living room complete with a fire for the cooler months. All reception rooms gain from the well-placed windows, allowing the landscape and the sea view to flood into the property.
Formal dining spaces are available alongside the casual areas around the kitchen
Having so many seating areas and reception rooms is ideal for a busy household, enabling space for different groups and for those seeking some solitude.
The chic elegance of the interiors allows the rooms to feel calming
Climb up the gorgeous staircase to the first floor to find a grand master bedroom suite complete with a walk-in closet. It’s an impressive principle suite and will provide all the space you need for comfortable privacy in luxurious, minimalist conditions.
Bedrooms are large, employing clean lines and minimal fuss to create comfortable spaces
The bathrooms that are attached to the bedrooms (there are two on this floor) are almost as vast as the sleeping rooms themselves, finished with high-quality his-n-hers facilities to suite the various occupants and visitors.
Bathrooms are large and completely kitted out with every washing option you can think of
This floor also has a terrace for morning sights of the sea, although occupants may find themselves spending time on the main terrace on the ground floor that wraps around the villa and the pool area.
An outside kitchen, BBQ and eating area, alongside shaded terraces and seating, will make al-fresco life the norm
There are shaded lounging areas, large tables and outdoor cooking facilities that are ideally designed for entertaining and spending long afternoons and evenings outside.
If you like your laps, this pool is a perfect size and shape
The pool is spectacular and surrounded by loungers and seats, with constant sight of the incredible views across the sea to the mountains beyond. When its get a little chilly for being outside, take the stairs down the basement to discover an additional treat..
And feeling the winter chill? Fear not, the indoor pool is just as impressive
The basement is dominated by another spectacular pool. This indoor heated pool is accompanied by a dry sauna and steam room, along with a gym, for the complete home-spa experience.
The home sauna could become the place you restore in after a busy day of work
There is a bathroom down on this level for washing away the sweat as well as space to install a home cinema if the new owner wishes.
Serious outdoor cooking facilities are provided to make al-fresco meals sophisticated
The additional buildings provide yet further amenities for the owner. There is enough garage space for 20 cars (time to start a new collection?) and two additional, separate guest houses.
Separate houses with their own living and sleeping space provides options for the new owner
One of these separate houses has been renovated to contain two en-suite bedrooms and an open kitchen-dining-living space. The second house has a slightly bigger space and could accommodate a further 2-3 bedrooms if desired (it’s currently being used for storage).
No matter the room, the view is all-consuming, as it should be in this incredible location
Immediately outside of the villa it’s all about the vast pool and terrace area, but beyond the terraces are the extensive grounds that contain a small forest, landscaped gardens and a lake.

It’s worth noting that the estate has a helicopter landing license and space for a grass tennis court if the new owner is keen. In terms of amenities, the Harbour area boasts everything needed, from supermarkets and cafes, to bars and upmarket restaurants. There are also modern art galleries, with the airport just 28 mins away.
