"The Sound of Silence"

**Sound of Silence: An oasis on Mallorca** Welcome to one of Mallorca's last paradises - a unique Mallorcan-style property built in the 1960s in the Betlem district of Artà. Just a few minutes from the idyllic fishing village of Colònia de Sant Pere, the house is perched on a cliff and offers absolute peace and privacy. Between 2022 and 2024, it was extensively renovated and modernized to ensure maximum comfort. All electrical installations were renewed and converted to three-phase electricity (up to 380 volts), which enabled the installation of a modern heat pump system (Stiebel Eltron WPL 13) for the house and a 14 kW heat pump for the pool. The pool is cooled in summer and kept at a pleasant temperature in winter. The first floor was also completely refurbished, the floor slab renewed, new pipes laid and underfloor heating installed. Large-format, light-colored tiles (1 m x 1 m) give the entire living area and the terraces a contemporary ambience. The main house extends over around 220 square meters of living space on a plot of around 1,200 square meters. An adjacent building plot of the same size can be purchased as an option. The house offers a spacious, light-flooded living room with a fireplace, an open-plan kitchen with a central island, designer bar stools and integrated induction hobs for stylish show cooking. Two covered terraces invite you to relax - one of them with a barbecue and outdoor kitchen. From here, you can enjoy breathtaking views of the bay of Alcúdia, the Tramuntana mountains and Cap Formentor. An impressive mountain rises directly behind the garden and provides a natural backdrop. The house has two modern shower bathrooms, a guest toilet and up to four bedrooms, all equipped with quiet air conditioning and fans. The upper floor is prepared for future extensions and offers an expansion reserve of over 100 square meters - subject to approval. The installation of radiators or additional underfloor heating is already planned. An optionally planned photovoltaic system on the roof with an output of up to 10 kW provides environmentally friendly energy and can supply the house self-sufficiently even in the event of a power cut. Together with a large cistern and its own deep well on the adjoining plot, an independent supply of water and electricity is guaranteed for months on end - an invaluable advantage in today's world. The lovingly designed garden is a true natural paradise. Steps lead down to the secluded pool area (8 m x 4 m x 1.7 m), which is surrounded by the rocks on which the house stands. A small cave provides pleasant shade on hot summer days and is particularly popular with children. The previous owner, a botanist, has nurtured and cared for rare plants and trees for over 40 years, including an orchard, a greenhouse and numerous idyllic spots. All the paths and steps around the house have been newly laid with natural stone slabs. The property is located in a quiet part of the island, far away from mass tourism - the nearest hotels are around 20 km away in Can Picafort. All you can hear here is the wind, the chirping of the crickets and the singing of the birds. The property borders directly on a nature reserve, which guarantees absolute privacy, as no construction is ever allowed here. There are beautiful hiking trails in the surrounding area, including the famous path to the old hermitage, where the last monks lived just a few years ago. A footpath leads to one of the most beautiful bays on the island (Es Caló), which can only be reached on foot or by boat. Colònia de Sant Pere is the starting point of a 5 km long sandy beach, which is largely deserted. Next to the property is another plot with a double garage, large lawn, boules court and an impressive Canarian dragon tree as well as almond and fig trees. The plot can be purchased at an additional cost.
