Description

Details: Welcome to this historic gem situated in the heart of Palma de Mallorca. The absolutely unique property, nestling in the historic heart of the city in the sophisticated Calatrava district, is not only listed as a protected building of historical, artistic, and architectural interest, but also as a characteristic example of Gothic architecture. The building, whose origins date back to the early middle ages, is known as "Can Barbier" and forms an important part of the city's historical heritage. It was rebuilt in a Baroque style during the 19th and 20th centuries, and today comprises of 3 levels. An approved renovation project allows work to begin immediately, and aims to preserve the unique historical personality and charm of the building whilst integrating state-of-the-art construction technology. The project includes, for example, a lift providing a barrier-free connection from the underground garage to all living levels. Special features include the living room with a large south-facing sun terrace of 19 sqm offering unobstructed views, and the enchanting tower roof-terrace of 18 sqm providing breathtaking views of the cathedral, Bellver Castle, the sea, and over the rooftops of Palma. If desired a 3rd. bedroom or, for example, a home cinema could be created, and the planned fitness room could also serve as a 4th. bedroom. The 10 sqm indoor pool is adjacent to historic city walls dating back to the 8th century, and presents an absolute rarity in such a historic setting. Medieval panelled ceilings, and the ancient side wall on the south side bear witness to the fascinating history experienced by the building over the centuries, and emphasize the stately character of this elegant town-house. The residence has its own cistern for an independent water supply and offers the possibility of installing solar panels to achieve complete energy independence. "Can Barbier" is not just a property, but a living link to Palma's past. After the renovation, history and modernity will be united to create an incomparable living ambience in the heart of Palma's old town. It would be possible to have the project completed by the team of architects on a key-in-hand basis. A touristic rental licence already exists.

Location & surrounding area: Palma's old town is ideal for those wishing to live in the midst of city life, with its small, sleepy squares, narrow alleys, wonderfully picturesque buildings, lively shopping streets and restaurants and cafes. In this part of the town something is always happening, and here the most places of interest can be found including the famous cathedral La Seu, built between the 14th and 19th centuries, the Arab baths, the Almundaina palace or the well-known nightlife-quarter La Lonja. The history of the capital of Mallorca can truly be felt here. Take a stroll down the narrow alleys of the old town of Palma and drink a coffee or a glass of wine on one of the little squares. Let yourself be enchanted by the charm of 'the pearl of the Mediterranean', and you will surely never forget Palma.
