On The Market: Majorca, Spain

; function voidFunc() { } voidFunc();)
About 130 miles off Barcelona’s coast lies the Mediterranean island of Majorca.
While the fertile southern part of the island is blanketed with groves of olive
and almond trees, the northern mountain region offers plenty of drama with
magnificent views. (Click image to enlarge)
On the northern tip of the Majorcan town of Pollensa is Albudarca–a recently completed modern mansion set on 13.7 acres. The estate offers stunning views of the countryside and the ocean.
The exterior’s warm mix of traditional stone and wood blends naturally with the architectural vernacular of the region. Large second-floor terraces hover above the infinity-edge pool. Classic French oak flooring (which is heated, of course) and wooden-beam ceilings mix well with the contemporary Boffi-designed bathrooms and Bulthaup kitchen, which is equipped with state-of-the-art Gaggenau and Miele appliances. The four-bedroom home has a wine cellar in the basement. Proposed additions include a gym and sauna in the pool area.
