Set within a stunning natural landscape, this exceptional countryside property in Formentera beautifully combines history, character, and modern comfort. Traditional stone walls, exposed wooden beams, and original architectural details reflect authentic craftsmanship, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.
Carefully restored to preserve its heritage, the home seamlessly incorporates contemporary upgrades that enhance both comfort and functionality, while remaining true to its original essence. The result is a unique residence where tradition and modern living coexist effortlessly.
Traditional Architecture & Materials
One of the property’s most distinctive features is its construction using traditional dry-stone wall techniques—an ancestral method that requires no binding materials and preserves the building’s authenticity.
The walls are crafted from Marès stone, a locally sourced material from the Balearic Islands, prized for its natural texture and warm tones. This approach not only enhances the durability and aesthetic appeal of the home, but also reflects a long-standing tradition of sustainable building in harmony with the surrounding environment.
Layout & Living Spaces
The property is divided into two fully equipped apartments, offering both flexibility and privacy:
Main Apartment Spacious and elegant, featuring an open-plan living and kitchen area that creates a welcoming and functional space. It includes two en-suite bedrooms, each with direct access to a private outdoor porch—ideal for enjoying the Mediterranean climate. A sofa bed allows the apartment to comfortably accommodate up to four adults and two children.
Independent Apartment A more intimate living space comprising a combined living and dining area, one double bedroom, and a bathroom. It also includes a sofa bed, suitable for up to two adults and two children. A connecting door allows both apartments to be used together or separately, depending on needs.
Each apartment benefits from its own private terrace, perfect for outdoor dining and relaxing in peaceful surroundings.
Outdoor Living & Leisure
The exterior spaces are designed to make the most of the island’s natural beauty. The property features a generous garden, a swimming pool, and a rooftop terrace equipped with a solarium, outdoor shower, and space for al fresco cooking.
The rooftop terrace, in particular, offers an exceptional setting for outdoor dining, with panoramic views across the surrounding countryside—ideal for enjoying sunset evenings in complete tranquillity.

About Formentera:
Formentera, the smallest of Spain’s Balearic Islands, is a serene escape just a short ferry ride from Ibiza. Known for its untouched beauty, this 83-square-kilometer island offers a peaceful retreat with some of the Mediterranean’s most stunning beaches. Ses Illetes, often compared to the Caribbean, boasts powdery white sand and turquoise waters, while Cala Saona provides a quieter, equally beautiful alternative. The island’s interior is a mix of rolling hills, pine forests, and salt flats, home to diverse wildlife, including flamingos at the Estany des Peix lagoon.
Formentera’s history is rich and varied, with influences from the Phoenicians, Romans, and Moors, evident in its ancient sites like the Cap de Barbaria tombs. In the 1960s and 70s, it became a haven for artists and free spirits, a legacy that lives on in its vibrant arts scene and local markets like La Mola Market.
The island’s cuisine reflects its Mediterranean roots, with fresh seafood dishes like ”bullit de peix” (fish stew). Local specialties include ”sobrasada” (cured sausage) and ”ensaimada” (sweet pastry). Formentera is also committed to sustainability, with eco-friendly practices and limited tourism ensuring its natural beauty remains preserved.
Adventure seekers can explore underwater caves and reefs through snorkeling or diving, hike or bike through scenic trails, or simply relax on its pristine beaches. Culturally, the island offers historic sites like the Church of Sant Francesc Xavier and festivals such as the ”Festa de Sant Jaume”.
In essence, Formentera is a place where time slows down, offering a perfect blend of natural beauty, cultural richness, and tranquility. It’s an ideal destination for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle and reconnect with nature and simplicity.
Carrer de Menorca sits in the heart of Sant Ferran de ses Roques, the most characterful village in Formentera’s interior. Low-rise stone buildings line quiet lanes, and the pace here is unhurried in a way that the island’s coastal edges no longer are. The village has retained its working identity, with a small central square and the kind of architectural continuity, dry-stone walls, whitewashed facades, and timber shutters, that signals a place largely untouched by speculative development.
Sant Ferran is home to the legendary Fonda Pepe bar, a Formentera institution, along with several small restaurants and a local grocery. The beaches of Es Pujols and Platja de Llevant are reachable in under ten minutes by bicycle or car. La Savina port, where ferries arrive from Ibiza, is approximately six kilometres away.
La Savina ferry terminal connects Formentera to Ibiza in around 30 minutes by fast ferry, with multiple daily crossings operated by Balearia and Trasmapi. From Ibiza, Ibiza Airport is roughly 15 minutes by car and serves direct routes to Barcelona, Madrid, London, Paris, and other major European cities. The absence of an airport on Formentera is a deliberate constraint that has preserved the island’s character and limits year-round visitor numbers.
