A Historic Manor House in Mallorca

This property is on the market with Mallorca Sotheby's International Realty. Price is disclosed upon application with the listing agency.

This seaside retreat is one of several built in the late 1870s by Louis Salvador, Archduke of Austria.

After discovering the island during a sailing trip, the Archduke fell in love with the beautiful coastline and became a champion of its preservation, buying up lands to preserve them and developing some incredible properties on the island, like Michael Douglas’ S’Estaca and the Son Galceran, now owned by the Majorcan Royal Family.

His main residence, Son Marroig, is open as a museum and restaurant near Deia.

Set on the north coast of the Serra de la Tramuntana between the coveted villages of Valldemossa and Deia, the 16 acre estate includes centuries-old olive groves and lemon trees, with formal gardens surrounding the manor house.

Several terraces and a swimming pool to make the most of the 300 days of sunshine on this stretch of the Mediterranean coast.

Fully restored, the traditional manor house features a wealth of stirling period detail, seen in the beamed ceilings and stone floors.

Spanning over 10,700 square feet, the manor house has several formal living rooms, 7 bedrooms, 8 bathrooms, a private library, screening room, and a home gym.

This incredible Mallorcan property is a gem.
