Exceptional manor house offering great potential in one of the most desirable districts in the historic centre of Mahon

Details:

This exceptional, very large manor house requires reformation and renovation, and is situated in one of the most desirable and stylish districts in the historic centre of the capital.

Its location, only a few steps from Claustre del Carmen, the famous fish market, popular shopping streets with their bars and restaurants, and the harbour of Mahon is one of the most coveted areas for investors.

It is made up of 2 buildings, each with its own entrance.

The main part is an historic building built in 1886, and used from 1962 to 2022 as a residential and commercial property. It has an area of 787 sqm spread over 3 levels plus the ground floor and cellar.
It is in good condition and has been regularly maintained in accordance with the demands of the businesses which occupied it, and consists of very large, bright rooms.

A 2nd building, also dating from 1886, is situated on the ground floor and is connected to the main house via an inner patio. It has been used as a warehouse and storage facility, but could be converted as required, for example as a garage thereby increasing the value of the complex.

In the main building certain original elements, such as the stairs with bannisters, windows and walls have been preserved, and the Menorcan-style Mares-stone cellar with its arched ceilings presents a traditional wonder. It would be possible to fit a lift and the shaft for this complete with accesses to the floors is already prepared.

The main building is listed by the local Mahon municipality as an architectural heritage, particularly the facade, the staircase and the Mares-stone.

The viewing of documentation and plans can be applied for, should it an architect's opinion be required.

Location & surrounding area:

Mahon is the capital of the Spanish Balearic island of Menorca.
The municipality of Mahon has approx. 28.500 residents and was founded by the Carthaginians, and there is a legend that the town was named by a brother of Hannibal.
Its architecture was strongly influenced by many years of English occupation, and the town gate Portal de Sant Roc, built around 1500, is the only remaining entrance in the medieval city walls.
In the narrow, winding alleys of Mahon interesting churches and museums can be found, next to all kinds of businesses.

From the main square Placa de Esplanada the pedestrian zone leads to the fish and vegetable market under the old cloisters of a former monastery. From here there are wonderful views over the harbour of Mahon.

The fjord-like bay (Ria) has a length of 5.5 kms and a width of up to 1.2 kms and is the largest natural harbour on the Mediterranean. Throughout history it has served seagoing nations as a safe base for their fleets.

The harbour of Mahon is the fourth largest natural harbour in the world, and today has become a popular destination for yachts and cruise ships from all over the world.
