The Sibarist

Traditional Mallorcan house in the east of the island

Description

The estate is located in the municipality of Felanitx, in the east of the island, one of the few places where the authentic rural Mallorca has managed to endure over time. Situated in an enclave of 2 hectares of Mediterranean forest and farmland, its native vegetation, made up of wild olive trees, fruit trees, fig trees and carob trees, takes us back to the slow, peaceful life of the Mallorcan countryside. Here life comes to a standstill. A century-old farmhouse renovated in 2021 with the utmost care, respecting its traditional architecture and restored with manual techniques and natural materials such as lime, earth and sandstone, typical of the island. The house maintains the forms of its past and the spaces still have an intuitive configuration where some of its first uses were accommodated, but also invite an openness that encourages reinvention and play.

The house is characterised by its light-flooded interior and is distributed over three zones and 2 levels. It consists of 5 bedrooms with 4 en-suite bathrooms and a guest bathroom, saline pool, private parking and can be 70% solar powered.The garden offers the opportunity to understand the Mediterranean landscape, experience it and observe how the plants evolve through the seasons. As it has developed, it has become a collaborative place for gardeners to visit and share knowledge during the planting months. Isolated but close to everything it is only fifteen minutes drive from Porreres, thirty-five minutes from the airport and twenty-five minutes from the sea.The nearest beaches are Portocolom and Santanyí. Oriented towards the countryside, nature is its great viewpoint. It is a delight for the senses to wake up at dawn in this quiet and hidden environment. The perfect choice for those seeking privacy and the uniqueness of country life on the island. Its interior is harmonious with its architecture and natural surroundings. Simple and comfortable as can be, it is devoid of ornamental excesses that might distract the guest from the authentic experience. The result is a cosy house with spaces that invite relaxation and creativity. Elegant sobriety in natural tones. A tribute to the island’s traditions and agricultural past.
