Santa Gertrudis de Fruitera, Balearic Islands 07814

Set in the heart of a rustic, terraced plot, once part of a larger agricultural estate and now covered in native Mediterranean pine forest, this contemporary finca, built in 2013, strikes the perfect balance between modern architecture, natural surroundings, and traditional Ibizan charm. Located just minutes from Santa Gertrudis, one of the islands most sought-after areas, the property is situated on the highest and flattest part of a sloping site, offering open views of the surrounding landscape and a peaceful setting ideal for outdoor living. Designed by architects Laura Torres Roa and Alfonso Miguel Caballero, the house is conceived as a single southeast-facing volume of nearly 29 metres in length, structured into four distinct functional zones. There is a welcoming entrance with an open kitchen and dining area, a central living room that seamlessly connects indoors and out, a library leading to the main bedroom suites and a separate guest suite that can also serve as a studio or office. The home features four en-suite bedrooms, each carefully designed to provide comfort, privacy, and a strong connection to the outdoors. Two interior courtyards define the layout: one at the centre, extending the living room and forming the vibrant heart of the house, and another that separates the family sleeping area from the guest suite, while bringing light and air to the lower level. The basement, bathed in natural light via an English courtyard, houses the technical facilities but also offers exceptional potential for customization guest apartment, home cinema, gym, workshop, or wellness area. The architecture subtly integrates traditional Ibizan materials: thick whitewashed walls, ceramic and stone flooring, and wooden joinery. The windows, arranged asymmetrically to the exterior but aligned internally, enhance natural ventilation and offer cross views of the surrounding nature. Deep blue shutters, reminiscent of the original finca, frame the views and lend a poetic touch to the faade. A discreet yet charming pool, inspired by Ibizas traditional agricultural basins, completes the property. It sits atop a restored stone wall and is separated from the house by a natural garden space, designed to be reclaimed by native vegetation that changes with the seasons. This one-of-a-kind residence is an ode to Mediterranean living, designed to host moments of conviviality as well as quiet reflection, in a setting that is both elegant, understated, and deeply connected to its landscape.
