Behind an unassuming timber door in the historic village of Xaghra on the sister island of Gozo, lies something rare - a fully restored 400-year-old estate that blends heritage, scale, and modern living in one of the Mediterranean---s most peaceful settings.
Set across over 3,000 sqm, this is not simply a home - it is a private estate designed for entertaining, retreat, or transformation into a boutique hospitality venture.
A Home Designed Around Space, Light and Privacy.
At its heart - are three internal courtyards, flooding the residence with natural light and creating a sense of calm and separation between living spaces. The interiors balance original character - stone walls, arches, beams - with contemporary comfort, offering multiple living zones including: - A grand lounge opening directly onto the pool and gardens - Formal dining space with convertible billiards table - Library, cinema room, and wellness space - Fully equipped kitchen and breakfast room connected to outdoor living This is a home built not just for living - but for hosting, gathering, and retreating.
Outdoor Living at Estate Scale
The grounds elevate the property into something exceptional: - A large chlorine-free swimming pool with expansive sundeck - Mature landscaped gardens and multiple lounging areas - A private tennis court - A productive kitchen garden with year-round fruit and vegetables The result is a self-contained Mediterranean lifestyle - private, expansive, and immersive.
Flexible Living and Guest Accommodation
The first floor offers multiple en-suite bedrooms, including: - A master suite with terrace views stretching to Sicily, walk-in wardrobe, and adjoining office/bedroom - Distinctive guest suites, each with individual character and outdoor access - Additional top-floor suite with its own expansive terrace The layout allows for family living, guest hosting, or commercial adaptation without compromise.
A Rare Opportunity: Lifestyle + Investment
Beyond its residential appeal, the property presents clear potential for repositioning: - Boutique hotel or high-end B&B - Wellness or retreat destination - Multi-generational family estate With separate access, additional land, borehole, and nearby garage facilities, the infrastructure already supports scaled use and operational flexibility (subject to permits).
Why This Property Matters
Properties of this scale and character in Gozo are increasingly rare - particularly those that combine: - Historic authenticity - Privacy and land - Turnkey condition - Commercial upside
A private Mediterranean Estate with the space to live, host, or build something on a larger scale!
