Enjoying an enviable and peaceful location in the Cap d'Artrux area near Cala'n Bosch, the delightful Miguel stands on west-facing clifftops, offering wonderful views over to Majorca and a grandstand position for enjoying the radiant sunsets Menorca is renowned for.

Owned by an award-winning Spanish artist who returns to the property every winter, the house itself is designed in charming typical style with a sparkling white façade and single-storey accommodation. Through the front gate, you are greeted by a picturesque garden framed by hedges and a pretty pool enclosed in neat lawns and a suntrap terrace. A further, roofed terrace, complemented by a built-in barbecue, is on hand for unwinding in the shade and patio doors from here lead to the bright and spacious open-plan sitting-dining room, which is finished with fresh and cheerful yellow and white soft furnishings. A hallway leading from here connects to a compact, simple kitchen and the welcoming bedrooms. The artist owner has decorated the interior with his own paintings, bringing a lovely personal touch that adds to its home-from-home feel.

When you want to venture out, the marina and sandy cove of Cala'n Bosch are a ten-minute walk and the shops and restaurants of Cap d' Artrux are just 400 metres from your door.
