House Hunting on Majorca: A Stone Manor Mixing Spanish, French Styles

Eight Bedrooms Near the Coast of Majorca

$2.74 MILLION (2.625 MILLION EUROS)

This eight-bedroom stone manor house is in the town of Sóller, near the northwest coast of Majorca, one of Spain’s Balearic Islands in the heart of the Mediterranean Sea.

The home was renovated several years ago, but the owners maintained its original architectural features — a mixture of Modernist, Majorcan and French styles, including high ceilings, arched doorways, elaborate molding and a fancy staircase, said Eddy Barrera, the director of Engel & Völkers Mallorca West office.

“Sóller is a fairly special village because it has influence from France,” Mr. Barrera said of the town, which sits in a valley in the Tramuntana mountain range, home to the island’s highest peaks. “French fruit dealers used to come to Sóller to get oranges and other citrus. And a lot of Majorcans went to France at the end of the 1800s and early 1900s, when the island was fairly poor. They returned with money and French influence.”

This property was likely built toward the end of the 19th century, though the exact year is not known because the island did not start registering properties until 1900, he said.

The three-story house, with just under 7,000 square feet, has a 750-square-foot courtyard with a pool, and it fronts a residential street. The front door opens into a foyer with the original gray stone floor. At the opposite end is a second entrance from the courtyard and a striking curved stone staircase, also original to the home. The living room has a fireplace and floor-to-ceiling windows; an office has traditional hydraulic mosaic floor tiles. An arched doorway in the office leads to a room with a wet bar and beverage chiller.

A door next to the staircase leads to the connected kitchen and dining room, both of which have decorative hydraulic floor tiles and glass doors to the courtyard.

One floor up is a second living room, two bathrooms and three bedrooms, including the primary suite, which has a Juliette balcony overlooking neighboring gardens. The owners repainted the doors and door frames a deep golden mustard that was original to the house, Mr. Barrera said.

Five more bedrooms and two bathrooms are on the third floor. The roof has a covered terrace, but it needs to be improved, he said.

The home is a short walk from Sóller’s main square, Plaza de la Consitución, which is ringed with restaurants and cafes. Sant Bartomeu Church towers above the square, its Modernist facade a…
