A beautiful and very spacious four bedroom, three bathroom country house set in five acres of its own land and constructed in 2003 in the style of a traditional Menorquin casa de campo. In its sprawling rural plot this property offers complete privacy and a totally relaxing, laid-back and tranquil setting for its privileged guests, yet is situated on the outskirts of the lovely typical old Menorquin village of Torret, with its whitewashed limestone houses and dry stone walls and is only around 2km from the charming and historic town of Sant Lluis. The nearest beaches of Binibeca, Punta Prima and Alcaufar are just a 7 min drive or, for the more energetic, Binibeca is a 30 minute delightful country walk away. The entrance door opens into the hall, and in turn this leads into a large, bright open-plan lounge, dining and kitchen-breakfast area, with high beamed ceilings. The living room is comfortably furnished with two sofas and various other items of furniture, and has a TV with access to UK Sky free-to-view satellite channels, and a DVD player and CD music system, and there is a table and chairs in the dining and the breakfast area. French doors from the lounge open on to a lovely Moorish-style inner courtyard with climbing honeysuckle, jasmine and other fragrant plants. There is a large covered terrace area beyond this, with teak garden furniture. In front is the terraced sunbathing lawn leading to the 12m chemical-free pool. Steps next to the pool lead to a lower 27x15m lawn, designed for croquet or other games, overlooked by a shady pergola .Close to this area is a petanc court and sand volleyball/badminton court and lovely formal and natural gardens. The whole area, amounting to five acres, is a paradise for children and adults to explore and enjoy. The kitchen, designed in the style of a traditional Menorquin farmhouse, is furnished with fitted teak units, marble work surfaces and is equipped with high quality equipment including Baumatic stainless steel gas hob, Smeg electric oven and extractor, large American-style fridge-freezer with chilled and filtered water supply and ice-maker, a further freezer, microwave, washing machine, dishwasher, toaster, coffee maker etc. On the ground level are three of the four bedrooms, one with double bed, wardrobes, dressing table and arched French doors opening to the covered terrace and pool, attractive full ensuite marble bathroom; another with two single beds, open-plan style wardrobe area and another stylish ensuite with step-up bath set in a marble surround.
