Vaulted ceilings and wavy lines
The hand of Uruguayan architect Alberto Rubio is unmistakable when we talk about the famous seagull houses in Port d'Andratx, southwest of Mallorca. There are nine in total. One of them is this villa, located on the top of a hill, which offers panoramic views of the Mediterranean Sea and the port of this Mallorcan town. White ceilings and wavy lines define this house, built in 2003 and forms open interiors and a framework of vaulted ceilings with beams. The interior houses three bedrooms with en suite bathrooms (the main one is in the highest part of the villa), a living room with fireplace, dining room, kitchen and a wellness area that includes a gym and a sauna on the ground floor. There is also a separate guest apartment that houses a living room with fireplace, a fitted kitchen, a bedroom, a bathroom and a terrace. Outside the property, large curved terraces of 200 square meters lead to an infinity pool, a solarium, an outdoor dining area and a kitchen. The parking space has capacity for two vehicles, explains Engel & Völkers, which is marketing the single-family home for 13.9 million euros.Location: Port d'Andratx (Mallorca)Area: plot of 1,611 square metres and 853 builtCondition: goodPrice: 13.9 million eurosTelephone: 971 67 47 80

Fusion of styles in this farmhouse
