Sant Llornec De Balafia, Ibiza, Balearic Islands, Spain

Blakstad's classic-meets-contemporary design language finds fresh expression at this rural finca, currently undergoing renovation and due for completion this summer. Found just outside San Lorenzo, the house sits within a quiet pocket of countryside, where wide-open views and a profound sense of seclusion shape daily life.

Nature is a constant presence here. Framed by rolling hills, the finca is designed to blur the boundary between inside and out, drawing light and landscape deep into its interiors. There's a timelessness to the architecture: Sabina beams, natural stone and tactile timber balance expansive openings and clean lines.

The main living space unfolds as a sequence of interconnected rooms: a fireplace-warmed snug, a central salon illuminated from above by a dramatic skylight, and a dining area that opens towards the countryside beyond. From here, the kitchen extends to a bougainvillea-covered veranda, creating an easy-going setting for long lunches and al fresco evenings.

Outside, more than 15,000 square metres of land wrap the house in privacy. A swimming pool and shaded terraces sit among original stone walls and mature planting that feel like a natural extension of the surroundings.

The principal suite opens onto its own private terrace and shares the same understated material palette: rustic beams, generous glazing and soft, neutral tones. Five additional bedroom suites are arranged across the ground and lower levels, alongside flexible spaces that could become a wellness zone, cinema room, gym or wine cellar.

*Finca Amara is currently in development, with completion later this summer. CGI's are for illustrative purposes only and do not necessarily represent final specification.

Location
Hidden in the peaceful inland valleys of central Ibiza, this part of the island offers easy access to year-round communities and some of the most exquisite beaches: pure blue waters in pine-scented coves. The charming rural village of San Lorenzo is just a couple of minutes away. Here, you'll find the much-loved La Paloma, which serves a Mediterranean menu made from organic vegetables grown in the kitchen garden. Santa Gertrudis and its bars, restaurants and galleries - together with Morna International College - is just a short drive away, as is the coastal town of Santa Eulalia.
