Set in an exceptionally beautiful and rural area, just a few minutes from the charming harbour of Cales Fonts, this truly unique property preserves the character and essence of traditional Menorcan architecture. Documented as a casat rural in the Historical Heritage Catalogue of Es Castell, the estate dates back to the 18th century and represents an outstanding example of Menorca's rural heritage.
The main house retains all the charm of a historic manor house, featuring high ceilings, exposed wooden beams and spacious interiors. The property offers six bedrooms, a large living room and a delightful terrace overlooking the garden. Its layout preserves the historic essence of the estate, traditionally distinguishing between the owners' living quarters on the upper floor and the farmer's accommodation on the ground floor.
Outside, the former cattle sheds and hay barns, originally used for agricultural purposes, have been carefully restored and converted into two independent homes, each with two bedrooms. These properties offer excellent possibilities for accommodating family and guests, creating separate living spaces or exploring different uses within the estate.
Behind the main house, another building contains a two-bedroom apartment, offering further flexibility and additional accommodation.
The property also retains a number of valuable and charming traditional features, including an old threshing floor and a wood-fired oven. Together with its own well, these elements bear witness to the agricultural activity and everyday life of generations past.
The estate extends over more than 12,000 m2 of land, offering a high degree of privacy and tranquillity, surrounded by rural landscape and away from the bustle of everyday life, while still being close to the area's services and attractions.
Its easy access and privileged location allow you to enjoy the best of both worlds: the peace and authenticity of the Menorcan countryside and, just minutes away, the lively atmosphere of Es Castell, Mahon Harbour and picturesque Cales Fonts, with its restaurants, terraces and Mediterranean ambience.
A property offering a wealth of possibilities: an exceptional family home, a multi-generational residence or a private retreat in Menorca.

Buying a Property in the Balearic Islands
1. Putting down a Holding Deposit
On finding a property you wish to purchase you will need to negotiate the terms, price and conditions of the sale with the owner. This part of the process is not binding. We would recommend using an independent English speaking legal advisor. Once a purchase price has been agreed, normally a holding or reserve deposit will be required to ensure the property is removed from the market. The sum required will vary between properties and will be based on the purchase price. A time limit for the preagreement to be signed will be arranged and there will also be legal checks to be made.
2. Setting up a Pre-agreement (Contrato privado de compraventa)
The pre-agreement will set out the conditions under which the Buyer and Seller agree to complete the purchase of the property and the price they have agreed upon. Relevant details will generally be included for example the property details, purchase price and the date for completion. A deposit will be required at this point, this will vary, but will generally be 10% of the agreed price. This agreement will include a penal clause if the sale does not go through. If the seller pulls out of the sale your compensation will be double the deposit you have paid, but if you decide not to go through with the sale then your deposit will be lost. Certain checks will need to be made before signing the contract, checks should be made against the title of the property, mortgage status and if the property has any debts held against it. The planning status should also be looked into. These conditions can be varied by the seller and the buyer and other types of agreement can be made.
3. The Contract (Escritura de compraventa)
Before a non-Spanish purchaser can buy a Spanish property they will need to have set up a Spanish bank account and obtained a Spanish tax number (NIE). The completion will take place in the presence of a Notary Public. This is a Spanish public official, by law the deed of sale must be witnessed by a Notary Public. You will also need your own independent, expert legal advisor to act on your behalf. On Completion the buyer must pay the balance, that is the price agreed after the deposit has been deducted, plus any other fees on the completion date. Both buyer and seller must sign the Escritura de compraventa contract, (this is the Spanish equivalent of the title deeds). The title deeds (escritura) will be given to the buyer, this will be done in the presence of a Notary Public, they will certify that the transfer has taken place. The tax office will be sent a copy and the property registry will be informed of the transfer.
