Description

John Taylor Menorca presents a typical Menorcan country house whose remote origins are pre-Roman.
The main house was built at the beginning of the 18th century, during the first British domination of the island of Menorca. The 600 m² buoy house dates back to 1771 and was once the largest on the island.
In 1987, a British couple converted the estate into one of the island's first agrotourisms. Its current owners have spent years carefully restoring the different rooms that make up this property, respecting original elements and materials both inside and outside the different buildings.
The estate covers an area of 10 hectares, more than enough to keep a flock of sheep, beautiful horses, donkeys and a large number of Menorcan tortoises that can be seen in the different parts of the property. Two original threshing floors that were used for threshing cereals are still preserved on the property.
There are up to 5 different original carriages, as well as other antique farming utensils, scattered around the porches and the cattle shed. A part of the buoy house has been restored, highlighting its stone arches and wooden beams. The rest remains intact so that whoever is lucky enough to acquire it can renovate it to their own taste.

Each of the rooms has been uniquely decorated in harmony with the structure of the house and its surroundings. In addition, the estate has private and independent houses that are currently rented but could be used as a second or third residence for the new owners.
Privacy, tranquillity, nature, horses, water, forest, pastures, unique original constructions with their ethnological elements is what this estate offers you, without a doubt, unique.
