Hello, I'm Andr�s Carrasco and today I'm going to show you a farmhouse in Alaior
it's a farmhouse which is located on the edge of the town
and is situated in rustic land of 1.600 square metres
it is made-up of the main house which we have here in front of 95 square metres
plus an annex which we have here of 25 square metres
first of all I will show you the exterior and later we'll take a look at the inside
the garden is just beautiful and has lots of corners and different spaces which we will look at on our visit
it's an old house which combines parts of an old barn which no longer exists
and within these old walls they have created an internal garden
as you see, there are medicinal plants, Mediterranean plants, sage, rosemary and this cyca revoluta (sago palm)
and moving on to show you this area here, a grassed area, with fruit trees
there are lemon trees, pear trees, and many more
let's carry-on, and here you can see another little corner with this wonderful palm tree
here there is an area with cacti and succulents
and this large palm tree which presides over the area
as I said, there are 1,600 square meters of land
and this is mainly in the front, the south-facing part, of the house
in front of us is the casita, the annex, or a little house for guests, which we will also take a look at
again, here we have another little nook, which is really pleasant in the shade of this fig tree, a good place for taking tea
you can see there is a table laid-out in this hidden-away corner under the shade of the fig tree
there's nothing better than a fig tree to make a great shaded area
let's continue
here in front of us we have a lovely olive tree, and we see the entrance to the annex
the annex is very distinctive as it was originally an old kiln that was used for making floor tiles and roof tiles
so it is a very old structure made of stones, as you can see
parts are new, parts are old, but the interesting part is the bathroom which I will show to you
here we have a bedroom or small sitting room depending how you want to use it
and behind is the bathroom
and this part is the old kiln which you can see has a vaulted ceiling
it's really curious, here you can see the vents
this old kiln, lined with special bricks and mortar
and it has this bathtub creating this fascinating and individual setting
I would mention that it's really cool in here, outside it's very hot, but in here it's heaven
as you can see, the walls are extremely thick
let's move on, and so as not to loose any time I'll show you the main house
we'll take this little path to the terrace and swimming pool, and the area nearest to the house
here there is a small garage with room for a car, and which is also used for storing tools and other things
there is also the swimming pool pump and other machinery
here we can see this pergola with a built-in table which can seat eight easily, it's a really nice space
and a barbecue with a grill and it's a great space to enjoy really delicious barbecues
we are very close to the town near to the Cami d'en Kane and just a kilometre from the centre, you can walk there in 10 minutes
here is the pool and the sunbathing terrace
and here is the covered terrace of the house
I'll show you a panoramic view of the terrace to show you how spacious it is, and just how lovely it is here
this shady terrace faces south with all this garden view in front, which is really nice
and moving on, we'll enter directly into the sitting room, which as you can see is a generous space
it's a sitting room and dining room with the kitchen which has been reformed
well in fact all of the inside space has been reformed and is immaculate and really lovely
here we have a wood burning stove set in this old fireplace
which gives out more heat than would just the fireplace
as you can see, the ceiling is pitched which is nice and with exposed ceiling beams, so typical here in Menorca
let's continue, I would mention that all of the windows, the installations, electrics, etc., everything has been reformed and is impeccable
the kitchen is in the shape of a 'U' and there is plenty of space
and at the same time it is open to the sitting room creating a feeling of space
let's go to the bedrooms which is separated by these glass doors, forming a distinction without closing the spaces
and allows light to filter into the hallway
here we have a bathroom which is the family bathroom
as you can see it has a shower
let's move on
here there is a bedroom, it's a double bedroom
and there is another bedroom here
and to finish, I will show you the master bedroom of the house which has built-in wardrobes
it's a spacious room with access to the covered terrace we saw earlier
finally, the bathroom, and in this case it has a bathtub
it is finished in this granite on the walls and floor
I hope you like it; it's a very pleasant and likeable house, with its diversity of different spaces, the garden, and the annex
it really has everything and very well situated
Hope you liked it, and if you would like any more information call us on our main telephone number or send an e-mail
Thanks a lot, and see you soon!
