Are you looking to buy property in Menorca but haven't decided which type of real estate you prefer? Engel & Völkers offers a diverse range of properties for sale across the entire island, providing you with options such as Mediterranean villas, country estates (Fincas) and farms, modern apartments (flats), townhouses, tranquil single-family chalets, and building plots of varying sizes for designing your own home. As you will already know your final decision will depend on a variety of factors such as your family situation, budget, personal preferences and reason for buying. In this blog, real estate agency Engel & Völkers Menorca introduces you to the unique features of each type of property and presents a premium villa property for sale from our current portfolio.
If you prefer a property with ample space in a peaceful location, then buying a country house might be the right choice for you. However, there are also single-family homes usually offering more space than apartments, which are typically in tranquil locations on the outskirts of town. If your new house comes with a garden, there is quite often ample room for a children's playground or a swimming pool. For those not willing to forgo the conveniences of urban life, such as proximity to diverse cultural and shopping opportunities, townhouses situated in central locations like Mahon or Ciutadella are the ideal choice. Enjoy the freedom to make it your own, taking all decisions regarding changes and renovation (within the local building laws), etc., without the need to consult other property owners.
Houses are particularly popular among families with children and couples planning to have children, but apartments primarily appeal to those looking for a low maintenance home, to singles and to young couples. If you opt to buy an apartment in Menorca, you benefit from a lower purchase price and a central location in a town or village with diverse shopping and leisure opportunities. An even more affordable option is purchasing a one-bedroom apartment. If you value luxurious living, consider buying a penthouse. A penthouse is an apartment on the top floor of a multi-family building with its own terrace and upscale amenities.
Apartments are generally smaller than houses. However, if you're looking for a condominium in Menorca with more space, Engel & Völkers is the right choice for you. We are familiar with the real estate market in Menorca and will find the property that meets your requirements.
A Finca with a country house is another option to be considered. A “finca” typically denotes a piece of rural or agricultural land with a house or other structures on it. Fincas can vary significantly in size and purpose. Some may be large agricultural estates dedicated to farming activities such as vineyards, olive groves, or livestock. Others might be smaller properties used for recreational purposes or as a primary residence. Many traditional fincas have been renovated or transformed into luxury residences or vacation homes while still retaining their characteristic rustic charm. Unsure whether to buy a house in the city or a finca in a countryside location? If you prefer an authentically Spanish property with a large plot and a unique view across Menorca's picturesque landscape, opt for a finca. Keep in mind that maintaining a large property will take more of your time and money, and will most likely require extra help.
If you have very specific ideas about what your new property should look like, then Engel & Völkers Menorca recommends purchasing a plot of land. On undeveloped land, you get to enjoy plenty of freedom in designing your ideal home and realising your dream. Bear in mind that constructing a new building can sometimes be more expensive than buying an existing property, and building laws need to be adhered to. Unlike purchasing an existing property, your new property won't be immediately ready for occupancy since the planning and construction phase typically takes considerable time. Haven't decided whether buying land or an existing property is the best option for you? Then Engel & Völkers Menorca is the best real estate agent for you! In a personal consultation, our experts will advise you on the benefits of each option and assist you in making the right purchasing decision.
