Object description

You love elegance, grandeur, the special and the different? This property is a one-of-a-kind, combining all the attributes of a town house, with a plot size more usually found in a rural property. The mansion is one of the most interesting and impressive properties in Capdepera, firstly because of its magnificent architecture and, secondly, its unique location. While the exterior impresses with an attractive fusion of Mediterranean and Moroccan architecture, the interior is clean and open, with high ceilings. Discover this unique living experience and immerse yourself in 19th century Nice with the flair of the Belle Époque. At the foot of Capdepera's historic castle, it blends harmoniously into the old town and yet sits high above the roofs of the medieval town. It is a short walk down the castle steps to the lovely restaurants, bars, cafes, and shops of the old square. On the approx. 5516 m² village plot, there is the main house with a separate apartment on the basement level, a small workshop, a garage, a pool and a separate writer's studio, and a 13th century tower. Up a small side street you reach the entrance gate and thus the courtyard, which gives you access to the main house, and the surrounding gardens as well as the garage and the workshop. In the main house you are welcomed by a spacious hall with an impressive staircase, which forms the central focal point of the house. Arranged in a circle, this floor comprises of two reception rooms, dining room, kitchen with pantry, guest toilet, and an en-suite double bedroom. The interior is light-flooded and bright, with large windows, French doors, and high ceilings, while a dreamlike view of the spectacular scenery and the sea conjures up an airy Mediterranean ambience reminiscent of the French Riviera. The pool terrace with fantastic views of the village, down to the shimmering Mediterranean Sea, is accessible from both the main reception and the dining room. Dine under the stars or sunbathe here in pure privacy. The curved marble staircase leads you to the upper floors. Here the furnishings shine with hardwood floors and classic elements of architecture. On the first floor you will find a study/library, three double bedrooms, one with en-suite bathroom, another bathroom with bath and shower, and a master suite with a bathroom, fireplace and dressing room. Most rooms have balconies with magnificent views. The tower bedroom, with a view of the Mediterranean Sea, is on the second floor. On the small roof terrace above one can even enjoy a 360° panoramic view of the surroundings. The basement flat is accessible from the outside via its own entrance, as well as via a small internal staircase. There is a cosy reception, a kitchen with woodburner, a bathroom and two double bedrooms, with a total footprint of about 65 m². The small private terrace leads one into a section of the garden stocked with various fruit trees and Mediterranean plants. Below the pool terrace you will find another highlight of this property, a writer's studio with a large panoramic window down to a sensational view of the bay. Elegance and antiquity/classicism are perfectly matched in this prestigious property. The style and size of this house is also perfect for hosting events and receptions.
