Cas Berris, San José

Cas Berris is a substantial and fully legal 17th-century Ibicenco finca estate set within 11,500 m² of private countryside, less than one kilometre from the centre of San José. With its original architectural character, extensive grounds and considerable renovation potential, the property presents a rare opportunity to reinterpret a historic Ibiza estate for contemporary living.

The architecture is unmistakably Ibicenco: whitewashed volumes, deep-set arches, shaded galleries and exposed timber beams. The estate is defined by its authentic materials, generous proportions and natural connection between interior spaces and the surrounding landscape.
The property offers approximately 600 m² of built area, complemented by more than 1,200 m² of outdoor amenities, including terraces, additional structures, a swimming pool and a private tennis court.

Cas Berris offers significant potential for a considered architectural renovation. Its substantial stone walls, original features, interconnected courtyards and generous interior volumes provide the foundations for a contemporary transformation that preserves the character and heritage of the original finca.
Importantly, the estate has recently received its Certificado de Legalización, confirming the legal status of the property, including the swimming pool, tennis court and outdoor kitchens. This provides an important level of planning certainty for a future renovation project, subject to the necessary permissions, and adds considerable value to the property’s long-term potential.

The estate is arranged across four independent buildings, each with its own character and connection to the surrounding grounds.

The first building, positioned near the entrance, is a substantial annex incorporating two double garages, four en-suite bedrooms and a spacious leisure and games area. A sunken lounge with an original fireplace sits beneath a series of traditional arches, creating an atmospheric space with considerable architectural character.

The main house extends over two levels, with multiple entrances opening onto terraces and gardens. Inside, a sequence of interconnected rooms, traditional wooden staircases, exposed timber ceilings and original architectural details reflects the property’s centuries-old history. Five bedrooms and six bathrooms are arranged throughout the house, alongside a library, informal living spaces and a traditional kitchen opening directly onto the gardens and pool terraces.

Internal patios, covered galleries and elevated terraces create a natural transition between indoor and outdoor living, with open views across the surrounding countryside.

Positioned slightly above the main residence is a separate one-bedroom casita, offering additional flexibility for guests, staff or private accommodation.
Beside the swimming pool, an open-air kitchen and dining pavilion provides a dedicated space for entertaining, with a direct connection to the gardens and outdoor living areas.

The grounds are mature and established, with Mediterranean trees and planting providing privacy throughout the estate. Expansive lawns surround the 50 m² swimming pool, while shaded terraces, outdoor dining areas and quiet corners offer different spaces to enjoy the property throughout the year.
Access is through electric gates and along a private driveway, with two double garages and generous additional parking. A private tennis court is positioned discreetly within the grounds.

A substantial photovoltaic solar panel system was installed in 2025, with the potential to reduce electricity costs by up to 50%, depending on consumption.
