Finca Minima

A minimalist four-bedroom finca for sale moments from Santa Gertrudis, thoughtfully imagined to blur the line between inside and out.

Tucked into a serene rural pocket just minutes from Santa Gertrudis, Finca Minima is a masterstroke in contemporary finca design. Conceived by architects Laura Torres Roa and Alfonso Miguel Caballero, this countryside retreat reinterprets traditional Ibicencan architecture through a minimalist lens, offering a harmonious blend of modernity, heritage and nature.

The home’s cubic, whitewashed form cuts a crisp silhouette against its verdant backdrop, setting the tone for interiors that mirror its clean lines and organic textures. Inside, the architecture draws on time-worn local materials: robust plaster walls, terracotta-hued ceramic tiles and hand-crafted wooden joinery. A dual-aspect fireplace anchors the main living space, while floor-to-ceiling sliding doors on either side dissolve the boundary between interior and exterior.

In the garden, manicured lawns, dry-stone walls and swaying pines evoke a sense of peace. The swimming pool, discreetly set away from the main house and inspired by Ibiza’s traditional albercas, nestles into the landscape effortlessly, fringed by wild greenery and shady terraces.

Back inside, the kitchen is a study in modern precision, with streamlined cabinetry, integrated appliances and a characterful ceramic-tiled floor that leads fluidly into the dining area. Here, bespoke bench seating creates an inviting space for slow dinners and easy entertaining.

Four bedroom suites continue the home’s poetic balance, featuring pale blue box-framed windows, sliding doors and bathrooms with rainfall showers and considered stone vanities.

Below, the basement reveals its own architectural intrigue. Illuminated by an English courtyard, this level currently houses the home’s technical infrastructure but offers ample scope for reimagining, whether that be a guest apartment, home cinema, gym, workshop or wellness area.
