- in the annex in front of the house: deletion of the current bathroom to make a new kitchen next to the entrance door and opening of the walls to make a larger living room  
- joining the 2 main buildings with a wall (if done in concrete will probably not be legally defendable as this will be considered as external surface ampliation)

- Concept: 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms (when losing the
recording studio)

ABOUT THE AREA  –  SAN MATEO IBIZA

San Mateo is a tiny village in the North of Ibiza, so small it only counts a church, a few houses around it and two restaurants. But nature has lots to offer for hikers and cycling fans. Here, the authentic slow-pace feeling of Ibiza transpires. The region is in midst of luxurious green nature the whole year long. Many small coves and a wild coastal region present great hiking and trails for mountain biking.

The property located is only a 5 minute drive away from trendy Santa Gertrudis, in the Centre of the Island. This area has developed over the last years into a comfortable and popular place to live, with an authentic Ibiza and international flair. There are lots of quality restaurants and bars around a lovely main street:  the church plaza. Many services are offered:  local fruits and vegetable markets, banks, pharmacy, post office, deco shops and some fashion boutiques.     

7 minutes from Santa Gertrudis
10 minutes from San Antonio City

ABOUT THE REGION – IBIZA NORTH

The property is located in the Centre – North of the Island. This is the place in Ibiza for a quieter and  real Ibiza living experience, the people being in general in a more relaxed and different state of mind than those in the South and in the West.  The North offers great nature like the beaches of Portinaxt or Benirras (with great sunsets), the steep cliffs of Puerta del Cielo in Santa Ines and laid-back villages like San Juan.

Noticeably, on the “gastronomic road” to San Lorenzo there are a series of great restaurants: Ses Escoles, Nagai, Balafia (see below), La Paloma, A Mi Manera, Ca Na Pepeta, and others.  A bit further away you find Elements on Benirras beach, Rebrots in Portinaxt or Shamarkanda in San Juan.   

For a nice hike, Cala d’Albarca stands for unforgettable nature, wild shorelines and cliffs with a massive stone bridge hanging over the seas far below. This is a one-hour hike down a steep hill and then a over an hour back up-hill, behind the village of San Mateo. It is quite a trek, but a fantastic spectacle. Wear good shoes.

The blooming of the almond trees transforms Santa Ines Valley every February into a natural wonderland not to be missed.

A near-by beach is the family-friendly Cala Benirras at 4km or 10 min. We´d like to mention the long standing quality beach restaurant Elements on Benirras beach, with its "true Ibiza" chill-out atmosphere, especially on Sunday afternoons when the peace-drummers come the beach.

One of the top spots to enjoy Ibiza´s great coastal spectacle is restaurant Hostal de la Torre, 15 minutes drive from Santa Mateo. With unexpected benches and tables down the hill towards the sea. One of the great sunset experience in Ibiza.

A tangible sign of the rebirth of San Antonio region: Es Tragón in Cala Gracio, a one-star-michelin restaurant in Ibiza was awarded its distinction in 2020, where Madrid-born chef Alvaro Sanz Clavijo is leading the kitchen.
