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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
There are shaded lounging areas, large tables and outdoor cooking facilities that are ideally designed for entertaining and spending long afternoons and evenings outside.
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..
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.
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.
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.
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).
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.
