Hello, this is Jose Carrasco talking to you from the island of Menorca
I'm delighted to be with you once again
especially today as I have the please to show you a house which is simply spectacular
a very unique property, a masterpiece of Menorcan architecture
it is a real mansion, a one-off and unique property
it is an estate with 57 hectares of land in a privileged location in the Menorcan geography
with tremendous views over a large part of the island
I'll show you a better view of the main house, it’s an enormous house with more than 1,000m² of constructed area
it's an elegant house, we'll look at the inside and the details we find will confirm my words
and from here as I said we can enjoy the countryside which is just incredible
later we will take a look from the terraces, as you can see there is a terrace here where we can view the panorama much better
and so let's go inside to take a look, it would take a long time to do it as I do with most properties metre by metre
so I'll make a quite résumé for the report
this is the entrance hall and you can see that there is a very interesting staircase
the reception hall is very spacious with vaulted ceilings
it's a house with amazing potential
it has many bedrooms and I did not count them all, but I calculate that it has at least 20
I think this part was in its day a type of chapel, as here we can see the traces of religious decoration
there are three floor, let's quickly go to visit the first floor
the house, understandably, needs to be adapted to suit current lifestyles
look from here how interesting the floor is
as I said, the house needs to be reformed to adapt to current lifestyles
but the construction and the structure is very solid
this floor is really lovely
it was explained to me that these floor tiles we brought from Cuba at the beginning of the 20th century
here there is a very elegant double room, enormous in size
with lots of details and with all the comforts of its day
it's a stately house, a real manor house
as it was common at the time it was to show the social position of the owner by building such a large house
and from here we can see the gardens in front which face south
now they are a seem little obscured by the trees unfortunately, but the sun is coming out which gives us the chance to see them a little better
there are other buildings such as this small house in the garden
and there is an 'era' behind these trees which is a little difficult to see on film
but with everything combined, as I said earlier, it offers a potential with incredible possibilities
let's look at a few of the bedrooms
as I said, to see them all would be impossible
there are three staircases
here we have a wing of the house which is very special with a style very different to the rest
as you see it is more a modernist style from the beginning of the 20th century
it has decorative details like the window here which is very distinctive
it's actually a suite, a double suite, and here we find this bathroom
and what is surprising is that in this type of house there are usually few bathrooms
but in this house there are a lot
here once again the woodwork is very individual
and this is one of the terraces
from here we can see other buildings of the property, such as these barns
and these offer further possibilities for enlargement
Here there is a garage with a small building which is probably for storing tools
and here there are small buildings which are for keeping farm animals
possibly chicken coops or for pigs, shelters for keeping pigs, 'porceras'
let's see a little more, right in front is this awesome view of Monte Toro,
and this location is really idyllic
I think it is one of the interior properties situated in one of the most peaceful places without any noise
let's continue looking at more parts of the house
here we have, well I think it was a bedroom with a wash basin, perhaps it could be a bathroom
let's go through here and take a look, there are various staircases and entrances
it's a bit of a labyrinth but it's very interesting
It has two kitchens and here is one of them for instance
and later we will take a look at a larger one
it's a pity there is no sun today as its difficult for vision
here there is an interior water deposit inside the house
we have access from different points
here as you can see there is an alternative staircase which takes us upstairs to the third floor
it has three staircases in total
this is the terrace which we saw from below at the start of the filming
as you can see the countryside is spectacular
this is the garden filled with trees right in front of the facade of the house
and as you can see the vegetation is really abundant and the view is marvellous
there is no noise and there is absolute silence
this house is a period mansion, secluded, luxurious, and having all of the comforts of its day
let's take a look at a little more, and continue to the third floor
there are various entrances and what you see is just a small part
and we can not see everything in such a short time
here there is a good ceiling height
and there are bedrooms in the eaves, this is just one wing of the house
just to give you an idea, here we have more bedrooms
and as you see this continues with 3 or 4 rooms in total
let's look at the part below on the other wing of the house which is really interesting with the other kitchen
we are on the outside again, and from here we get another perspective of the house
and on this side we enter into what I guess was the farmer's house, the 'payes'
it has a more rustic style, and the big difference are the beams which are thicker
here the construction and the architecture is very distinctive, again we see vaulted ceilings
here we have one, they are large rooms, and here is another
we cannot see this room here very well as the light is not very good
you can see that the floor is different too
and here we find the second kitchen
as you can see this is a very old kitchen
it is very well preserved
and here we have an entrance, well let's show you this first
another room and a staircase which connects to the other two floors
and here we have an arch made of stone, it's very interesting in this space
and here we find these thick beams once again
personally, I really like them
and here is where the supplies would have been delivered, a sort of storehouse for this enormous house
and the amount of space in the house spaces, garages, barns, to show it all in one video is very difficult
it would take us a lot of time
these rings for example are here to tether horses
if you notice, on all of the walls we see these old rings
I'm sure this was used so that women could mount horses easily
here this was probably the laundry or possibly for the horses again
yes, with these rings I suppose it was a feeder for horses
the floor I do not like, I think it was changed over the years
this is the access to the large water deposit, and they told me that it is enormous
one of the largest on Menorca
and from here we can appreciate a very different image of this building
it's very peculiar, as you can see, with three different parts, with the two sides practically symmetrical except for this chimney
and with a central section
here there is also more space, it's another large storeroom
there are lots of buildings on this property
as always, I am available to give you any additional information
