19th Century estate transformed into a contemporary Ibiza retreat

Originally built in 1803, Can Terra is a rare 19th-century Ibicencan finca that has been thoughtfully reimagined as a contemporary rural retreat by acclaimed architects Dolores and Maxime Batselaere (DOMAX). Set within 57,000 m² of olive groves, ancient stone terraces, and pine-covered hills, the estate offers complete immersion in nature while remaining just minutes from Ibiza Town. Following a meticulous two-year restoration, Can Terra now stands as a timeless yet modern sanctuary, combining historic character with refined contemporary living. Spanning over 400 m² of interior space, the property is a true turnkey home, finished to an exceptional standard and ready for immediate occupation. Architecture & Interiors Approached via a winding forest road, the estate reveals itself as a private, fully renovated haven nestled deep within the landscape. Traditional whitewashed walls and original stonework frame the entrance, where oversized wooden double doors set the tone for what lies within. The main living space is centred around a sculptural fireplace and sunken, custom-built seating area—an inviting focal point designed for slow evenings and convivial gatherings. Oversized, rusted steel-framed windows draw in natural light and dissolve the boundary between interior and exterior. Throughout the home, organic materials take precedence: natural stone floors, textured plaster walls, and warm timber finishes create a cohesive and calming atmosphere. The kitchen balances functionality with craftsmanship, featuring a generous stone island, bespoke wood-fronted cabinetry, and integrated appliances. Underfloor heating and discreet air-conditioning ensure year-round comfort, while outdoor terraces extend the living spaces seamlessly into the landscape. A fully equipped summer kitchen and al fresco dining area provide the perfect setting for long lunches and candlelit dinners under the stars. Bedrooms & Guest Accommodation The principal suite is a serene private retreat, offering a covered terrace, walk-in dressing area, and a spa-inspired bathroom with a freestanding bathtub and walk-in shower. Three additional bedroom suites within the main house continue the home’s natural aesthetic, with exposed stone walls, Sabina wood beams, and soft, ambient lighting. A cosy TV snug and a peaceful office space complete the main residence. Set discreetly within the grounds are two independent guest casitas. One houses two en suite bedrooms, while the second offers a standalone guest suite. Each features private terraces and the same thoughtful design language, making them ideal for hosting guests or staff in complete privacy. Outdoor Living & Grounds The estate’s landscaped grounds unfold across gently terraced land, creating a series of intimate outdoor spaces. Stone-walled platforms host sunrise yoga decks, citrus groves, an outdoor gym, and shaded lounge areas. At the heart of the garden sits a 48 m² saltwater swimming pool, surrounded by mature olive trees and manicured lawns with automatic irrigation. Additional features include a secluded hammam, and a hidden wine cellar carved directly into the stone, enhancing the sense of place and tranquillity.
