VF004 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.
