You will love this house (300 sq meters) and its watchtower, overlooking the Mediterranea with stunning sea views. Located in the seclusive area of the Pontas, the property Es Maressos is a 2 acres waterfront estate ring fenced with stone walls that comprises two houses surrounded by a mediterranean botanical garden. The house has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. Linen in particular is 5 stars hotel quality. The entrance porch, living room, dining room, study and TV room are luxuriously furnished and decorated with large contemporary photos from renowned artists. The kitchen area in particular is located underneath a large porch with large glass sliding doors. With sea view it opens on the swimming pool area so that meals can be prepared or cooked while fully participating to the life and animation of the rest of the group. The kitchen is fully equipped with all the usual appliances (german brands) and comprises a large table sitting 8. Wrapped with covered terraces the house is naturally ventilated and ceiling fans can provide with additional cooling. For the winter season, the house is heated with a floor heating system. A comfortable separate laundry room completes the technical equipment of the house. Of course it goes without saying that a high speed WIFI is available.
There is an outside mobile kitchen well equipped with Plancha, fridge, utensils, etc. where the cook will operate in front of the sea and serve directly his guests sitting around a table well protected from the sun by a large covered porch overlooking cala Macs.

A heated infinity pool is adjacent on the east side of the house and children friendly. Its access is also protected.

The property is ring fenced with stone walls which is safe for children and assures a high degree of privacy.

Parking facilities for up to three cars are available on the property.

Sea access is possible at the low end of the property. Nothing replaces a swim in the waves. Not recommended though if the sea is rough as getting off the water can then be difficult.

Besides the big house called the "Main house", there is a second house on the property, the "Casita" which is decorated, furnished and has a shower room, a fully equipped kitchen and its own private terrace. Separated from the "Main house" by the pool area it is also at a lower level. So it is close but completely distinct with its own private access. Built the traditional way with stones and with its large glass sliding doors it is the perfect combination of contemporary architecture and ancient stone work. From the spacious main room you have a breath taking view on the Cala Macs on one side and the gardens on the other. Normally the Casita is rented with the Main house. So close but separate, independent the casita is ideal for hosting Grand parents or friends who may want privacy and yet be close by.

The house was built in the early sixties but has been constantly maintained, renovated, modernised and even extended so that it now is a nice combination of traditional architecture with contemporary additions providing all the necessary accommodations for stays at any season of the year. The casita has been added about 15 years ago: it is a micro house fully equipped with sleeping corner a large living corner overlooking the sea and the gardens. A kitchen and bathroom complete the casita.

The property is two acres large, one half , on the south , is overlooking the sea and planted with century old olive trees and specific mediterranean vegetation like Alep pine trees, Cypresses, Ficuses, Yuccas, cactuses. On the north side lays the other half of the property where you will find fields planted with almond trees, more olive trees, palm trees, Caroub trees, etc. This botanical garden assembles over 150 different plants and trees. The whole estate is ring fenced with the traditional stone wall and coming from Cala Santanyi, following the signs 'Es Pontas' you will drive 50 meters on a dead end private road before seeing the gate to Es Maressos. The parking and the houses are 25 meters further.

The estate is actually part of a greater zone, state protected because of archeological interest. Hence there are no other constructions close by except for the only one existing before 1960, and of course no traffic. The view point on the Pontas attracts visitors but the property is safe and very private.

Cala Santanyi which is at a 5 minutes walk from the property offers not only its white sandy beach but also 3 restaurants and a small supermarket where you will find all the necessary to supply the house in food, wine etc and more importantly freshly cooked bread available daily from 08:30 a.m.

The village of Santanyi is 3 miles away. You will find all the shops, restaurants, services, super markets etc... and twice a week (Wednesdays and Saturdays) a colourful and animated market invades the center of this otherwise quiet village.

Many sightseeing points are worth your visit: The fish harbour of Cala Figuera (2 miles), The marinas of Cala d'Or or Porto Petro (10 miles) with their bordering restaurants, the white sandy beaches of S'Amarador, Es Trench, Llombards, S'Almunia, all of them being close. Of course the closest remains the Cala Santanyi beach which can be reached with a 5 minutes walk. The view point of La Consolacio is also worth a visit, besides its spectacular view point on the entire area with the Island of Cabrera in the distance, there is also this little chapel dedicated to the Virgin where people can rest, think or pray. All these places are within a radius of 10 miles.
A little further you have of course the city of Palma, not to be missed on any account, the northern side of the island with its mountains etc. Guides are available in the study of the house.
