Here we look at a number of beautifully presented fincas on the market.

Ca’n Miquel, a large seven-bedroom house set in 12 acres of well-tended gardens, orchards and fields, has all the ingredients of an ideal rural finca. Twenty years ago, however, it just a field filled with wildflowers, a few old fig and lemon trees and an abandoned hunting lodge which was ankle deep in almond husks and shells.

Set in the spectacular Vall de March, with the dramatic Tramuntana mountains rising on two sides and yet just a few minutes from the historic town of Pollensa, the house was meticulously designed by its current owners with a first-rate kitchen, expansive living rooms, outside terraces and separate spaces to host guests. The master bedroom enjoys a double aspect looking at the mountains from both sides.

Outside in the gardens, there is an olive grove and productive fruit orchard, as well as a vast gallineria for hens and a few acres of wheat, oats and forage where a small flock of sheep currently graze. For anyone interested in growing their own food, there is no shortage of opportunity. The land at Ca’n Miquel produces its own olive oil, almonds, oranges, lemons, grapefruit, strawberries, onions, artichokes, melons, watermelons, garlic, peppers, figs, tomatoes, and potatoes. It’s on the market for €6.25m.

Pay its way

This 8-bedroom house outside Pollensa, which has recently been renovated to a high standard, comes with a rare rental licence meaning it can be let as a holiday home when not in use. Standing in just over 10 acres of land, the house enjoys far-reaching views over the surrounding countryside. €7.8m

Privacy and tranquility

Built in 2000 using traditional materials, this six-bedroom house stands in just under 25 acres outside the village of Campanet. Views from the house take in the mountains, countryside and, from its elevated position, it’s also possible to see all the way down to the sea. €8.5m

Historic watermill

Set in the coveted Vall de March, within the boundaries of the UNESCO-protected Tramuntana Mountains, the oldest part of this former watermill dates back to the Moorish times. It has 9 bedrooms—seven in the main house and a further two in a separate guesthouse. There is a heated swimming pool in the large garden. €4.2m

Modern masterpiece

Another magical finca set in the Vall de March, the exterior of this house, which dates back to the 12th century, belies its modern interiors. Using first-class materials, it combines smooth surfaces with bright colours and strong architectural features. The house sits in over 50 acres of gardens and grounds. €7.5m
