Rafal is a name of Arabic origin that was given to the rural estates whose agricultural lands were directly worked by their owners. It was formerly known as “The Hidden House”, as it could not be seen until one was already very close to it. This house appears on the oldest maps of Menorca.It was one of the great noble estates of the island of Menorca, close to Ciutadella and the coast. From the original large property, an area of around 60,000 m² remains, made up of up to eleven enclosed plots of land, or “tancas”. Within them stands the main building, or “casat”, along with several auxiliary constructions originally intended for agricultural use. These include an inexhaustible water well, a traditional bread oven, a large cistern, and two old cowsheds of 250 m², which could be converted into additional homes or auxiliary facilities.The main house dates back to the 18th century, a time when the Mediterranean was freed from the threat of piracy and when the finest buildings on the island were constructed. It is a building of 425 m², or rather a complex of adjoining structures added over time, giving it the typical appearance of the region.The construction is based on marés stone, the marine limestone so characteristic of the Balearic Islands, which in this case was extracted from a quarry located on the property itself. An unparalleled artisanal work carried out by the island’s stonemasons.This house is a magnificent example of the most traditional marés architecture, featuring the great vault that covers the “porxada” or entrance porch, one of the classic elements of Balearic architecture. It also includes groin vault ceilings throughout all the ground-floor rooms, which were carefully restored a few years ago.Part of the stone façade has been left exposed, along with tile-formed gutters, widely used at the time to channel as much rainwater as possible into the cisterns.On the ground floor, the house offers four large vaulted areas. Three of them comprise the living room, sitting room, and dining room, while the fourth is a bedroom with an adjoining bathroom. There is also a service room in the former kitchen under a barrel vault, as well as a large main kitchen.The staircase that begins in the porxada leads to the first floor, arriving at a covered gallery that gives access to a layout including a spacious sitting room, four bedrooms (one with access to a terrace), and three full bathrooms.The house has all modern services and is decorated with extraordinary taste, using traditional and natural materials, along with furniture and elements acquired locally, most of which would remain in the house.[IW]

In the old town of Ciutadella, a renovated village house on three levels. In the old town of Ciutadella, there are houses you wouldn’t guess existed from the street. This one is one of them. The facade gives no hint of what lies behind it: three stories, four bedrooms, a living space opening onto a patio that the solarium, at the very top, frames against the sky. The renovation chose its battles wisely. It preserved the most essential elements of Menorcan architecture—the stone, the proportions, the way the rooms are arranged around the central open space—and simply restored its clarity. This house is just a few steps away from the cathedral. And even closer to silence.

In Cala Morell, on the northwest coast of Menorca, a house overlooking the sea. The sea is there before anything else. In Cala Morell, the northwest coast of Menorca has carved its cliffs into narrow coves that few buildings have managed to face head-on. This one has succeeded. Four bedrooms, two bathrooms, a separate kitchen, and a Menorcan Mediterranean garden nestled between the rocks and local plants. The sunset from the rooftop belongs to that category of experiences that cannot be described. You just wait for them, that’s all.

In Ciutadella, Menorca, a 50,000 m² farmstead comprising a house, orchards and traditional outbuildings. Fifty thousand square metres is the scale at which a property becomes a territory. The Menorcan light bleaches the walls. The orchards breathe in the salty air drifting up from the south. The house awaits those seeking silence. Here, no one measures success in terms of yield. It is measured in years that pass without change. The fruit trees recognise the hand that prunes them. In Ciutadella, it is simply a place that refuses to be forgotten.

In Menorca, in the countryside around Ciutadella, a vaulted house, its stables, its bread oven and some 7.7 hectares of land. Leave Ciutadella behind, pass the last few houses and, within a few minutes, find yourself in the countryside of western Menorca. Follow the path to a house set amidst around 7.7 ha of land. Walk beneath its vaulted ceilings, which lend the rooms their spaciousness and light. Step into the five bedrooms – enough to accommodate family and friends. Step out onto one of the terraces as the sun begins to set. Push open the door to the old stables, imagine what they might become, and light the bread oven once more. In summer, head down to Santandria or Cala Blanca, go for a swim, and make your way back before nightfall. And start all over again the next day.

In Cala Morell, on the northwest coast of Menorca, a 478-square-meter villa on approximately 4,000 square meters of land. Cala Morell isn’t something you discover. It’s something you reach. The white rock, the pine forest, and the cove come together to form a landscape that Menorca has managed to protect from everything else. Above it, a 478-square-meter villa built of marès stone with exposed beams occupies some 4,000 square meters of land with the discretion of structures that understand their surroundings. The rooftop terrace takes in the entire cove. The pool looks out only onto the pine trees and the sea. Cala Morell, all around, does the rest.

In Menorca, in Sa Caleta, on the outskirts of Ciutadella, a new south-facing villa set on a plot of around 830 m². In Ciutadella, the sea can be unpredictable. On some summer days, the harbour empties in a matter of minutes, leaving the boats resting on the seabed, before the water suddenly returns. The Menorcans call this phenomenon the ‘rissaga’. A few kilometres from the harbour, in Sa Caleta, the sea is calmer. A new villa stands on a south-facing plot of around 830 m², complete with terraces, a garden and three bedrooms. The beach is a ten-minute walk away. Here, it’s on foot – and unsurprisingly so – that you reach the sea.

Between Ciutadella and the southern beaches of Menorca, a former sheepfold and its farmhouse on about 42 hectares. Before tourists, before cars and paved roads, Menorca belonged to the shepherds—to those who knew every nook and cranny of the land, every dry stone wall laid by hand to mark the boundaries of a pasture. This sheepfold dates back to that time. It has weathered the years without losing its essence. Forty-two hectares of unspoiled Menorcan countryside still surround it. Stone has shaped everything here: the shape of the openings, the thickness of the walls, the way the summer heat stays outside. As for the old sheepfold, it’s still waiting for someone to give it a new name.

In Ciutadella, in the historic centre of Menorca, a townhouse dating from 1614, covering over 1,100 m². In Ciutadella, there are streets that you don’t simply walk through, but live in. This is one of them. And behind two separate doors lie nearly 1,100 m² of marès stone, vaults and beams dating back to 1614. Three inner courtyards frame the daylight into three distinct scenes. The grand staircase winds its way unhurriedly upwards to drawing rooms with ceilings so high that one cannot help but look up. Eight bedrooms, several terraces, a cellar. The ancient floors have retained the memory of everything that has passed over them. Just a few steps away lies the cathedral. Further down, the harbour. Between the two, this address

In the historic center of Ciutadella, a stately home of nearly 400 m². The stately homes of Ciutadella are recognizable by their silence. Behind facades that give no hint of their scale, they unfold into entire floors that only the occupant eventually comes to know fully. This one spans nearly 400 m², a legacy of the Menorcan nobility who built for several generations at once. A building permit is already included with the property, outlining five bedrooms and living spaces organized according to the layout typical of the island’s grand urban residences. The interior courtyard and terrace serve as a reminder that even in the heart of the densest urban fabric, Ciutadella has always managed to reserve a glimpse of the sky. What this house once was remains evident. What it will become depends solely on a permit that has already been signed.

In Ciutadella, a 2-hectare rustic property with two detached houses. There are properties you understand right away. This one takes some time. First, the dense forest, which absorbs the noise even before you get out of the car. Then the two houses, nestled in the vegetation as if they had grown there. The covered terrace, the pool among the trees, the fountain near the second building: each element occupies exactly the space the land has assigned to it. Ciutadella is five minutes away. The southern beaches are even closer. But from here, you don’t think of them right away.

In Menorca, in the Sant Miquel neighbourhood of Ciutadella, a townhouse built of marès stone with a patio measuring approximately 21 m². On 7 October 1558, in Constantinople, a notary from Ciutadella who had been taken captive, Pere Quintana, recorded in Catalan an account of the siege and a list of the prisoners. His town had just been sacked. It slowly recovered behind its ramparts and grew accustomed to looking inwards, until the walls fell in the 19th century. A house in the Sant Miquel neighbourhood has preserved this way of life. Its façade faces the street, but its heart beats around a courtyard. The marès stone walls, cement tiles and ancient floor tiles have endured through the generations. At the centre, a staircase connects the floors like a backbone. A city that had looked inwards for so long could not have been built any other way.

In Ciutadella, Menorca, a 300 m² Menorcan finca set on over 10 hectares of farmland, complete with its buildings and threshing floor. Ten hectares of flat land. A well. A cistern. A threshing floor.

No preconceived vision, no obvious purpose. Just honest stone, earth and silence. Take it or leave it. And that is rare.

In the countryside near Ciutadella, Menorca, a 7.5-hectare property with a main building divided into two residences and traditional farm buildings. Seven and a half hectares just a few minutes from Ciutadella. The figure always surprises those discovering Menorca for the first time: the island still retains the vast open spaces that the Mediterranean has lost elsewhere—that sense of open, unspoiled land now found only far from the most sought-after coastlines. The main building features Menorcan stone in its thick walls—the kind that the island’s builders hewn to withstand the wind and keep the interior cool in summer. Over time, it has been divided into two dwellings, each retaining its share of this raw material and the light that filters through the rooms without ever overwhelming them. Surrounding the house are a shed, a chicken coop, and a stone cistern—remnants of the rural way of life that the property has never strayed from. The historic center is nearby, as are the wild beaches. But here, it is the stone that speaks first.

In the old town of Ciutadella, a four-story house built in 1860, with a patio and terraces under the Menorcan sky. 1860 was a time when Ciutadella was still building upward to escape the heat without turning its back on the street. This house belongs to that precise moment in the city’s history, when each floor offered a little more coolness and privacy, and when the green shutters served a climatic purpose before they were a matter of aesthetics. The renovation respected this original intent rather than altering it. The wood, the stone, and the proportions of each room still tell the story of how people once lived in a city closed in on itself, turned toward its courtyards rather than the outside world. Four levels, a patio, two terraces under the Ciutadella sky. The city has continued to exist through this house more than it has passed through it.

This is precisely what makes this property so rare: you are not just buying a house, you are buying a perspective on the town that no one else possesses.
