"The Sound of Silence"

Sound of Silence - An oasis on Mallorca In one of the quietest corners of Mallorca lies a place that is more than just a house - it is a retreat, a place of power, a paradise far away from the world. This unique Mallorcan-style property rises high above the sea, on a rock in the Betlem district of Artà. Just a few minutes from the fishing village of Colònia de Sant Pere, a refuge of tranquillity opens up here - nestled between mountains, sea views and a protected nature reserve. The house, built in 1960, was lovingly renovated between 2022 and 2024 and equipped with state-of-the-art technology. The electrics were converted to three-phase current (380 V), an efficient heat pump from Stiebel Eltron regulates the temperature in the house and another ensures the pool is kept at the perfect temperature - cooled in summer and heated in winter. Underfloor heating, large-format tiles (1 × 1 m), new pipes and a high-quality renovated floor slab create modern living comfort with timeless aesthetics. The main house offers around 220 m² of living space on a 1,200 m² plot. An adjacent building plot of the same size can also be purchased as an option. The centerpiece is the light-flooded living room with fireplace, which flows seamlessly into the open designer kitchen - equipped with a cooking island, bar stools and induction hobs for stylish show cooking. Two covered terraces, one with a barbecue and outdoor kitchen, invite you to enjoy the spectacular views of the bay of Alcúdia, the Tramuntana mountains and Cap Formentor to the full. Up to four bedrooms, two modern shower rooms and a guest WC offer space for family and friends. All rooms are equipped with quiet air conditioning and fans. The upper floor is ready for expansion and offers over 100 m² of additional potential - the connections for heating and plumbing have already been prepared. An optionally planned photovoltaic system (up to 10 kW) could make the house energy self-sufficient. Together with a generous cistern and its own deep well, an independent supply of water and electricity is possible for months on end - a priceless advantage in uncertain times. The Mediterranean garden enchants with its diversity: for over 40 years, the previous owner, a botanist, nurtured rare plants, trees and fruit varieties. A secluded pool area, embedded in rocks, offers a magical place to relax with a small cave - a little adventure paradise, especially for children. All paths are newly laid out with natural stone slabs. All around? Nothing but silence. No hotel far and wide - just the wind, the chirping of crickets and birdsong. The adjacent nature reserve guarantees unobstructed space and undisturbed privacy. Hiking trails lead to hidden bays such as Es Caló or to the old hermitage, where monks once lived in solitude. A five-kilometre-long natural beach begins in Colònia de Sant Pere - almost deserted. A neighboring additional plot with a double garage, lawn, boules court and a majestic dragon tree as well as almond and fig trees can be purchased on request. Sound of Silence is more than just a home - it is a philosophy of life. Those who live here opt for nature, tranquillity and the essentials.
