REFINED COUNTRY HOUSE

A long time ago a prominent family of the European aristocracy bought 40,000 square metres of the heart of the countryside of Ibiza. In one of its most beautiful, magical and preserved areas. The property also contained a farmhouse, very old and with a lot of charm.

The family, in combination with sophisticated interior designers and architects, elongated the house proportions, with an indefinable Ibizan style in the way it is lit, in its naturalness, in its integration with the landscape, without any explicit and unnecessary staments. The result, outside and inside the house, is really refined. Everywhere one looks it can be appreciated the quantity of time and care dedicated to every detail, something further than quality or luxury, something very difficult to find, and with a cost difficult to quantify too.

To the comfortable rural structure of the preexisting dwelling they added new living spaces and bedrooms, as well as a working area, which form an access courtyard in the north side of the building. The south side of the house, set with three different wide porches, looks onto the valley and gives oppeness to the building.

All these open covered spaces, filled with books, plants, art objects and sofas are in fact the summer day area, in a very mediterranean way of understanding comfort. And with the landscaped garden all around.

There is a spectacular separate studio, in a 250 square metre independent building. Traditionally used to paint, could also be converted into a recording studio or guests apartments. Another house is dedicated to the staff accommodation, consisting of one living room, one kitchen, two bedrooms and one bathroom.

The landscaped garden lays around the houses, and gets integrated with the surrounding countryside. It has mature trees and plants, a large fishpond and it is fully lit up at night. There is a swimming pool with pool house, and a basketball place.

The quantity of land that surrounds the house, in addition to the fact that the property is a bit hidden, guarantees that quietness, tranquility and total privacity are really possible. A true paradise, a non repeatible portion of that greatly appreciated island, but with limitated space, Ibiza.

If some time is taken in checking the progression of the prices in Ibiza in the last years or decades, growing without interruption and in a higer amount than the real estate average in most European countries, and also the cost of other major properties now for sale in the island, it can be appreciated that buying this property is a very good investment. It has been permanently maintained and renewed, since it was restored/ built, 360 days a year. It doesn't need any expensive renewal. The price, 2,750,000 euros.
