Balearic Islands, Mallorca, Santa Ponsa, Spain

Exclusively for sale with Imperial Properties.

This detached villa in Santa Ponsa represents a specific type of investment profile that is becoming increasingly rare in the southwest of Mallorca. Built in 1987 on a plot of 866 m2, the property is a substantial structure that offers a clear opportunity for a full-scale renovation to realize its full market value. The house is currently habitable but dated, meaning a buyer can take their time with architectural plans while the building remains functional.

The layout is spread across a total constructed area of 375 m2. The main living levels consist of approximately 261 m2, but the standout feature is the underground lower-level apartment. This secondary living space provides the footprint for a guest suite, a gym, or a completely independent unit for extended family. The rooms throughout the house are notably large, avoiding the cramped feel of more modern Mediterranean builds. This volume allows for a high-end reform where walls can be moved to create the expansive, open-plan environments that today's market demands.

The outdoor space is dominated by a swimming pool that is significantly larger than what current building regulations typically allow for new constructions. Positioned on the south-facing side of the plot, the pool area receives direct sunlight all day long, making it the central hub for summer living. The property also includes a massive 64 m2 parking area, providing enough space for multiple vehicles or a large boat trailer, which is a practical necessity in this coastal location.

LIVING LIKE A LOCAL

Santa Ponsa is a residential enclave that has seen a significant surge in high-end redevelopment. Living here means you are within walking distance of Cala d'en Pallicer, a local cove perfect for daily swims without the need to find parking. The area is favored by year-round residents due to its balance of quiet streets and proximity to the coast.

For families, the educational infrastructure is excellent. Several leading international schools, including Baleares International College and Agora Portals, are within a 10 to 15-minute drive. For sports enthusiasts, the Santa Ponsa Golf courses (I, II, and III) are less than 5 minutes away, and the world-class Rafa Nadal Academy in Manacor is accessible in under an hour.

Marine interests are well-served by the nearby Port Adriano, a Philippe Starck-designed marina that hosts superyachts and high-end dining. The local culture is best experienced at the weekly markets in nearby Calvia village or Andratx.

Connectivity is one of the strongest selling points for this specific street. You have immediate access to the Ma-1 motorway. You can drive to the center of Palma in approximately 15 to 20 minutes and reach the Palma International Airport in about 20 to 25 minutes. Public transport links via the TIB bus network connect the area directly to the capital for those who prefer not to drive.
