Country house for rent in s’Alqueria Blanca with garden and fireplace

This country house for rent in s’Alqueria Blanca is a rare find in the long-term rental market of southeastern Mallorca: a traditional stone property of generous proportions, surrounded by its own grounds and set in one of the most characterful villages in the municipality of Santanyí. With 240 m² of built space, the house retains every element that defines Mallorcan rural architecture — stone and marés walls, exposed wooden beams, terracotta floors and green timber shutters — while offering the comforts that make year-round living genuinely easy.

Outdoor Space and Private Grounds

The house stands detached and set back from the lane, approached across a wide open forecourt framed by palms, pines and olive trees, with dry-stone walls marking the boundaries. The main façade, crowned with Arabic roof tiles, opens through a marés stone archway and extends into a paved terrace running the full width of the house — the natural setting for summer meals and long evenings outdoors. A flowering bougainvillea climbs the wall, lending the color so typical of country houses in this part of the island.

Attached to the main volume, a generous covered porch on stone pillars adds valuable outdoor living space and provides shade throughout the day.

On the upper level, a covered terrace with beamed and vaulted ceiling, sheltered by a low marés wall, looks out over an open horizon of pine woods and countryside. It is arguably the most rewarding corner of the property: oriented toward the landscape, shaded, and completely quiet.

Traditional Mallorcan Interiors

Entry is through a spacious hallway with terracotta flooring and beamed ceilings, which distributes toward the different areas of the ground floor by way of interior steps that underline the organic character of the building. The house keeps the proportions and ceiling heights typical of Mallorcan farmhouses, with generous rooms, notably thick walls and timber openings that bring in natural light and cross-ventilation.

The main living room is a room of real presence, with exposed beams, terracotta floors and a wood-burning fireplace set into a natural stone surround that anchors the space through the winter months. A double glazed door opens directly onto the walled courtyard, allowing indoors and outdoors to flow together in milder weather.

Adjoining it, a second, distinctly traditional room preserves the original wood-burning stove beneath its masonry hood, complete with built-in bench and wall niche — the old domestic heart of the house, connected to the kitchen area through a marés stone arch.

The kitchen, set beneath a whitewashed vaulted ceiling, is fully fitted and combines granite worktops with solid wood cabinetry, a larder, stone shelving and a double sink. It includes a gas hob, oven, microwave, dishwasher and refrigerator, along with a stone-framed window that keeps the room bright all day.

The property offers three well-proportioned bedrooms with beamed ceilings and shuttered windows, and two full bathrooms: one with a bathtub and a wide vanity unit with stone countertop, the other with a shower, both fitted with heated towel rails. The entire house has oil-fired central heating with radiators in every room — a decisive feature in a country property intended as a year-round home. The gas hob and water heater run on butane.

The upper floor is arranged around an open landing with balustrade, beamed and vaulted, leading to the rooms on this level and out to the covered terrace. Pale floor tiles and the height of the roof structure reinforce the sense of space throughout.

The house is offered unfurnished, the standard and most advantageous arrangement in long-term rentals: it allows the tenant to move in with their own furniture and make the house genuinely their own, while still benefiting from a fully fitted kitchen and heating throughout.
