Excellent opportunity for a small boutique-hotel with terrace and sea views in Mahon's historic centre

house Mahon

Details:

This excellent purchase opportunity is situated in the historic centre of the capital, near to the pedestrian and shopping zone, the fish market, the bars and the restaurants, and only 2 minutes from the harbour.

The typical Menorcan town-house dates from 1886 and has a small inner courtyard and a terrace providing views of the church of Santa Maria, and would be perfect to fulfill the idea of a small boutique hotel in the town of Mahon. A few metres away there are wonderful views of the harbour.

Upon entering the house you are taken on a journey to the Menorca of previous times and greeted by a huge entrance with lovely stone stairs which lead to the upper floors. As well as the ground floor the house also has a lower level, a small inner courtyard, 2nd and 3rd stories and a terrace with a sun sail, perfect for enjoying an aperitif throughout the year. There is also a further room which could be converted into a small kitchen. This exceptional house could be redesigned to suit the tastes of the new owners and equipped with all modern comforts.

Over a dozen rooms are available and could be developed into a living/dining area, a kitchen, a bathroom and a bedroom. Currently there is a fitted kitchen on the 2nd floor and a bathroom on every floor.
The last renovations were carried out in 1985.

We would be pleased to impress you with the pleasant atmosphere of the historic town centre during a viewing of this exceptional property.

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.
