Buying a Country Property in Mallorca
What does “finca” actually mean?
“Finca” is a Spanish term with several meanings that vary depending on the context. In Mallorca, it is commonly used as follows:
- 1) Rural estate / plot
- In its original sense, a country property is a plot of land in the countryside, often with agricultural use, e.g. a farm or plantation.
- 2) Country house / holiday home
- In Mallorca, the word “finca” is often used to describe a country house or a rural property for holiday purposes (e.g. a weekend home). These homes are frequently very secluded and designed for family stays.
- 3) Property / ownership
- More generally, “finca” can also mean property or an estate, regardless of whether it is in an urban or rural setting.
In German usage, “Finca” often refers to a Mediterranean holiday home, especially in the Balearic Islands (e.g. Mallorca). - 4) Insider tip
- If a Mallorcan talks about his “finca”, you should ask what type of property he is referring to if it is not clear from the context.
Buying a Country House in Mallorca – Pure Mediterranean Lifestyle
The dream of owning a country home in Mallorca is closely linked to the Mediterranean lifestyle for many Northern Europeans. Typical natural-stone façades, exposed wooden beams, olive and citrus trees as well as generous plots embody tranquillity, privacy and authenticity. Simpler country houses with white façades and rectangular floor plans also possess their own charm, derived from location, plot and integration into the Mallorcan landscape.
Today, the spectrum ranges from historic estates with rustic character and lovingly renovated country houses to modern new-build country properties with clean architecture, energy-efficient building services and smart home systems. In this way, many homes uniquely combine tradition and contemporary comfort.
Important when buying: local building regulations and permits must be taken into account in order to implement planned renovations or extensions in a legally compliant manner. This is precisely why, below, we address the building-law situation, provide a practical checklist for buyers, explain the current price ranges for country properties and present the different types of country houses in Mallorca. Finally, you will learn how Luxury Estates Mallorca supports you with experience and market knowledge throughout the entire purchase process.
Building-Law Situation for Historic Country Houses
Country homes on rural land (“Suelo rústico”)
Country properties are predominantly not located on urban building land but on suelo rústico (rural land). Special rules apply here that differ significantly from urban regulations.
Historical development
In the past, additions and conversions in rural areas were often implemented pragmatically — sometimes without complete documentation. Therefore, for historic country houses the documents (permits, approvals) are not always complete.
Responsible authorities
- Local building office: checks compliance with building regulations, issues permits and approvals.
- Consell Insular de Mallorca: spatial planning, protection of the landscape and rural resources.
Interpretation can vary between authorities — particular care is therefore required for legalization and conversions.
What Should Be Considered When Buying a Country Property in Mallorca?
- Neighbour and access rights to be checked (driveways, shared paths, easements).
- Water rights to be clarified (wells, Safareig/water reservoirs, distribution with neighbours).
- Building-law situation:
- Legality: was it built lawfully? Are permits/approvals available?
- Special rules on suelo rústico: conversions/extensions often only possible under restrictions.
- Pools & Safareig: check legal classification. Safareigs are traditional water basins, sometimes used as pools — usage must be legally permissible.
Conclusion
The building-law situation is complex. Work with experienced partners (agent, architect, lawyer) who can reliably assess the local requirements and review the documents.
Country Properties in Mallorca – Price Ranges at a Glance
The market for country properties in Mallorca offers a broad spectrum of price segments. Costs depend heavily on location, plot size, building condition and features. In principle, three price ranges can be distinguished:
Entry level
Smaller, but usually heavily renovation-required country houses are available from around €750,000. These homes offer great potential for buyers willing to invest time and budget in modernization and individual design. For these properties, however, the building-law situation and the classification of the surrounding plots must be checked. The pool (often missing or not legal) is frequently an issue with such rural houses.
Mid-range
Classic country homes in decent condition usually start at around €1,200,000. Properties with original elements, a Mediterranean garden and a pool are particularly sought after. In this price range you will often find very beautiful estates that can, however, be very remote or accessible only via unpaved roads. Water and energy supply vary from property to property. Prices are between approx. €1 to €2 million.
Luxury segment
For exclusive sea-view country properties, historic country estates or modern new builds in prime locations, prices of €3 to €100 million and more can be achieved. Individual exceptional homes with outstanding locations or large plot sizes are usually not publicly offered for reasons of discretion in order to protect the privacy of the estates.
A decisive factor for price development is the strict regulation of building law. As new builds on rural land are only possible to a limited extent, demand for existing country houses continues to rise. This ensures strong value stability and makes country properties in Mallorca a long-term attractive investment.
What Types of Country Properties Are There in Mallorca?
Depending on the region, location, construction style and views differ. Below you will find the most popular country-property types with brief descriptions and direct links to current listings.
Country Houses with Sea Views
Buying a country house with sea views in Mallorca is, for many real estate seekers, the epitome of the Mediterranean dream. The view of the shimmering Mediterranean conveys calm, openness and an incomparable sense of freedom. Homes in hillside locations are particularly sought after, offering both absolute privacy and breathtaking panoramas over the coastline and open sea.
Architecturally, the spectrum ranges from lovingly restored natural-stone country houses to modern new builds with many windows that bring the sea view into every room. Many homes feature expansive terraces, pools or Mediterranean gardens that perfectly showcase the coastal vistas. Whether as a holiday retreat, primary residence or exclusive investment — sea-view country houses in Mallorca are considered particularly value-stable, as supply and buildability are very limited.
Especially on the south-west coast between Palma and Puerto de Andratx, but also on the east coast near idyllic coves, you will find some of the most beautiful country houses with sea views. These properties combine traditional Mallorcan construction with the majestic backdrop of the Mediterranean and are among the most sought-after homes in the Balearic market.
Modern Country Homes
Modern country homes in Mallorca combine the traditional idea of a Mediterranean country house with contemporary architecture and exclusive living comfort. Clean lines, open floor plans and light-flooded rooms shape the design. Large window elements create seamless transitions between indoor and outdoor spaces and open up impressive views of the surrounding landscape or the sea.
Typical of these new builds are high-quality materials, minimalist forms and state-of-the-art building services — from smart home systems and energy-efficient construction to exclusive wellness and pool areas. Many modern country homes have expansive terraces and outdoor kitchens that perfectly round off the Mediterranean lifestyle.
Anyone buying a modern country home in Mallorca chooses the best of both worlds: the quiet and closeness to nature of rural estates combined with contemporary specifications at the highest level. These homes are particularly popular with buyers looking for a stylish, luxurious residence that ideally combines functionality, aesthetics and Mediterranean lifestyle — and who place great value on privacy.
New-Build Country Properties
New-build country properties in Mallorca stand for contemporary living comfort, the latest technology and long-term investment security. They comply with current building regulations, are designed for energy efficiency and impress with high-quality features — from underfloor heating and heat pumps to solar technology and intelligent smart home systems.
A key advantage when buying a new-build country property is the presence of developer guarantees required by law. Buyers benefit from protection against construction defects, verified permits and transparent final inspections. This not only creates trust, but also guarantees a legally secure investment without unpleasant surprises.
Many new-build projects combine traditional Mallorcan style elements — such as natural-stone façades or wooden beams — with clean architectural lines and modern floor plans. This creates a harmonious interplay of Mediterranean flair and innovative living that meets the highest demands.
New-build country properties are particularly sought after by buyers who value low maintenance costs, sustainable energy supply and state-of-the-art equipment. They offer the highest level of comfort and are at the same time a future-proof investment in Mallorca’s coveted property market.
Country Houses in the South-West
The region between Palma and Puerto de Andratx is considered a hotspot for exclusive real estate. Country houses can also be found here — often idyllically situated yet with perfect access to international schools, marinas and golf courses. This location is particularly popular with overseas buyers.

Country Houses in the Island Centre
Mallorca’s central region stands for tranquillity, open space and authenticity. Here you will find traditional country houses on large plots, often with olive or almond groves. Perfect for buyers seeking a close connection to nature and who value privacy.

Country Houses on the East Coast
Mallorca’s east coast offers charming country homes close to idyllic coves. Many homes have sea views and are set within gentle rolling hills. Particularly popular with families and buyers who want to combine proximity to the beach with tranquillity.
Country Properties with Vineyards & Wineries
Buying a country property with a vineyard in Mallorca means combining Mediterranean living with a centuries-old tradition. The island looks back on a long winegrowing history dating to Roman times. Today, high-quality red, white and rosé wines are produced here and appreciated internationally.
Wineries in Mallorca usually feature extensive plots with vines, historic cellar buildings and modern winery technology. Many estates combine the charm of rustic natural-stone architecture with modern production facilities while offering an idyllic home in the countryside.
Such homes are of interest not only to passionate wine lovers but also to people who want to benefit from the growing market for wine production and agritourism. A country property with its own vineyard uniquely combines nature, enjoyment and entrepreneurial potential.

Expert Consultation When Buying a Country House
Many country houses in Mallorca have been extended or repurposed over decades — not always with complete documentation. We therefore recommend a thorough review of permits/approvals, land register, certificate of habitability (Cédula de habitabilidad), energy certificate and property tax receipts. The Cédula is often a prerequisite for connections or changes to the water and electricity networks.
Luxury Estates Mallorca supports you from selection to notarisation — with direct owner contacts, in-depth market knowledge in the south-west and across the entire island as well as coordination with architects and specialist lawyers. This gives you access to sought-after, partly discreet country-property opportunities.
