The Farm
Located in Camp d’en Torella only 1 km. from the village of Santanyi the project of renovating Can Benassar is already well under way.
Can Benassar is several hundred years old and used to feature a mill, a very big fruit garden and lots of farm animals. The last 50 years has seen the farm idle becoming more or less a ruin. When we first came across the place for sale what struck us most was the fantastic ambience of the place; big old trees, the ancient stonewalls and the unspoilt views over the countryside and in the distance the village of Santanyi with its beautiful church. Also the scale is impressive, 30,000m² of land and the possibility of renovating the farm into a very large family home (almost 1000m²).
Once complete, it will feature a fantastic living space, combining the very old with the very modern, offering a truly unique combination of the two.
We have done our outmost to keep the spirit of the place, re-using old roof tiles, stone walls and Marès stones anywhere it has been possible.
The north facing part of the farm will be over two floors offering 5 bedrooms with ensuite bath or shower rooms. Bathtub room. Walk-in closet space. Office space and utility rooms.
The south facing part will offer an open plan kitchen, fully equipped with a large closed-off pantry. The kitchen opens up to the dining and living room area and features large windows. From the living room sliding doors open up to the terrace and pool area. The living room also has a cosy fireplace in Marès, two guest rooms with ensuite shower rooms, a toilet, an office and a TV room with a mezzanine.
The farm also offers the possibility of stables as it holds several boxes and has a closed off paddock. There is also a very large garage with sufficient space for a car collection or other activities.
Electricity and hot water will be exclusively provided by solar panels, providing a perfect environmentally friendly solution. The farm has its own well and will operate a rain collecting system, as has always been tradition in the dry Mediterranean climate.
