Son Curt, a historic estate on the Castell d’Alaró road, is currently listed for sale at 16.4 million euros. What stands out in this deal is the notable interest from international investors, including a wave of foreign capital estimated at around four million euros. This pattern signals a clear shift in Mallorca’s luxury property market, where substantial foreign involvement is becoming a regular feature of high-end transactions and development plans.
The asking price encompasses not only the land and the existing structures but also a comprehensive rehabilitation plan. The project includes the submission of a license to convert the property into agritourism, an avenue that blends rural charm with a modern hospitality model. The justification for a price premium rests on these two pillars: the scale of renovation and the potential revenue from agritourism, paired with an informed expectation that major investors are prepared to pay premium sums for assets with strong development potential.
The estate’s structures date back to the 17th century and sit on approximately 970,000 square meters of land. For centuries, the Sampol de Son Curt family has owned the property, contributing to regional governance and education through generations of public service. The family has historically guided the Provincial Assembly and has produced figures who shaped both politics and historical scholarship in the area.
The Living Blue portal showcased a vision of Son Curt after the planned reforms, noting that the exterior phase could be completed in 2024. According to the site, the residence is arranged across three levels and is envisioned to host between eight and twelve bedrooms. The project also anticipates additional outbuildings, guesthouses, stables, a spa, a swimming pool, and a barbecue area. Among the property’s noteworthy features are provisions for agricultural production, hunting opportunities, and direct access to the Serra de Tramuntana, placing the estate in a notably pristine natural setting and offering a degree of privacy while remaining within a comfortable distance from Alaró. Promoters emphasize the site’s striking position between the Castell mountains and Puig de s’Alcadena, attributing a sense of historical and almost magical appeal to the landscape.
Current photography from the estate shows the facade and the surrounding gardens, illustrating the scale and elegance of the project. The property’s architectural heart includes a garden layout that reflects a history of meticulous care and design, with stone façades and a plan that hints at an H-shaped arrangement with protected entry points. The back garden area features a nineteenth-century design ethos, underscoring the enduring aesthetic of the early modern period and the artistry embedded in the estate’s exterior spaces.
The Sampol family archive, donated by the latest generation to the Alaró town hall and the Al Rum Cultural Association, adds a rich layer of cultural significance to Son Curt. The collection includes documents related to the Alaró Railway and the castle, along with numerous records detailing Majorcan nobility from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Recent reports by local media indicate that this donation has expanded to include family correspondence and seventeenth-century parchment-bound volumes that recount family chronicles, church ceremonies in Alaró, and other historic episodes, underscoring the estate’s role as a custodian of regional heritage.
