Finca Madera

A sprawling rural Ibiza retreat for sale set within verdant, terraced hills. Farmhouse heritage pairs with considered design in this nine-bedroom Ibizan estate, crowned with the 17th finca registered in Ibiza.

Among orange groves and almond orchards, Finca Madera is an island home in an agricultural setting. Tradition and tranquillity are invited into this Spanish country estate.

At the heart of the 70,000-square-metre plot, the main house reveals itself. Within a sea of greenery atop terraced farmland, it wears a whitewashed aesthetic. This is Finca No.17 – the 17th finca registered in Ibiza. Inside, sand-toned floor tiles pair with exposed wooden beams and stone detailing. Thick walls provide a sense of security and permanence while high ceilings create a voluminous, uplifting feel.

Arranged over two floors, the main house features three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a roof terrace providing contrasting views over working farmland and the luscious treeline. Traditional tiled bathrooms maintain a sense of connection with the building’s history while fireplaces provide living spaces with cosy focal points for the off-season. Touches such as arched windows and unshaped timber accents create a rustic look that foreshadows the aesthetic of the casitas.

Outside, a pergola provides a climbing frame for colourful foliage while a walled garden creates an inner boundary around the manicured lawn. A shaded terrace forms inside-outside space ideal for relaxing or entertaining in the summer. The main house also has a separate one-bedroom, one-bathroom studio.

A forest pool sits among the trees, completed by an outdoor kitchen. An idyllic, sun-soaked setting, this private, secluded corner features a chillout area and a traditional mill as a poolside feature. At the other side of the plot, the casitas wear a more rustic look. Formed of two structures connected by a leafy archway, they feature four bedrooms, two bathrooms and a separate one-bedroom annexe. Meanwhile, their generous living spaces have been carefully recrafted. Exposed beams and barn-style doors provide texture. Some areas have been literally stripped back – with plaster carefully giving way to exposed brick accents. The casitas have multiple dining terraces, an outdoor kitchen and a palm-lined pool with a shaded terrace.

No corner of Finca Madera remains untouched by its farmhouse heritage. Twenty skylights pour sunshine in, illuminating the thoughtful design choices that anchor the home to its past. Sequestered away in the trees, Finca Madera is an impressive home that celebrates its setting.
