Listing of the Day
Location: San Jose, Ibiza, Spain Price: €2.4 million (about $2.68 million)
Whether you want to be within dancing distance of Club Tropicana and Blue Marlin for all-night beach parties, or you prefer a quieter Ibiza, lolling on empty pebble beaches and swimming in rocky coves, this secluded villa is suitable for both moods.
It’s nestled in the countryside, but is only a five-minute drive to the ever glamorous Cala Jondal Beach.
The current owners are English, hooked enough on Ibiza’s charms to sell up and build another villa closer to an international school in the rural inland area of Santa Gertrudis.
The Stats
The 3,766-square-foot modern home on nearly 5½ acres has five bedrooms and four full bathrooms.
Amenities
The home has all the modern conveniences: a sophisticated alarm system, air conditioning, electric gates and a privacy fence, as well as lots of space for relaxing in the Ibiza sunshine. There's a barbecue, an outdoor eating area and an infinity-edge swimming pool surrounded by built-in daybeds and loungers.
Talking Point
So slick is the minimalist design that the house has appeared in many fashion magazines and advertising campaigns, including shoots for the global luxury retailer Matchesfashion.com.
Although it has modern elements—polished cement floors, brushed metal-framed sliding doors and windows—the home is modeled after a traditional Ibiza finca, or farmhouse. These homes typically have flat roofs, whitewashed walls and austere interiors with minimal décor.
Neighborhood Notes
The southwest of the island is where you’ll find the best beaches and the most exclusive villas. The nearest village is San Jose, a five-minute drive away. The property is about five miles from Ibiza’s town center, five minutes to Es Xarcu and Es Torrent beaches, and a 10-minute drive from the airport.
Some of the most exclusive areas of Ibiza—Porroig and Vista Alegre—are very close by, says listing agent Montse Hernandez of Ibiza Sotheby's International Realty. There, many private villas have been snapped up by celebrities.
