Today's home, Villa de Rosen, is billed as the most romantic home in Europe. It sits on the dreamy island of Mallorca. The waterfront villa was recently constructed on one of the last remaining front lots in the Bay of Formentor. Gazing out to sea from the teak deck one can imagine standing here centuries ago watching the brave corsairs battle marauding pirates in order to protect their families, properties, and wealth.

Today's home is no blast from the past. It is an ultra-modern luxury retreat. The glass frontage facing the sea reaches a height of just over 21 feet and there is a custom made glass elevator by Schindler to take full advantage of the unobstructed vistas as you travel. The home's design allows for plenty of natural light and open spaces maximizing the incredible views of the Mallorcan coast and the Bay of Pollesa.

The six-bedroom home offers direct access to the sea. The home has a Valcucine kitchen, Dornbracht RainSky showers, sunken baths, bamboo floors and a custom chandelier by German artist Ingo Maurer. Built as the ultimate retreat from the worries of the world, the home boasts a wine cellar, cinema, fitness room with steam and sauna. The outdoor heated pool begs for a late night champagne swim under the stars. A separate guest home is privately positioned on the property.

Price available upon request to serious and qualified buyers only.
