Your own finca - for many the absolute dream of independence and freedom amidst the pristine nature of the Balearic Islands. These typical stone houses, built earlier by farmers who could not afford expensive plaster, and today expensively built by local specialists, are not only distinctive in the traditional farming areas of the interior of Mallorca but are also becoming increasingly popular in coastal regions. There are now more than 200,000 fincas in Mallorca, and accordingly high are the real estate offers.
Luxury country house with pool and mountains in the northwest of Mallorca
From a classic rural cottage needing renovation to the luxury finca with all modern comforts - the choice of fincas on offer in Mallorca is wide. In the central region of the island amongst the most sought after areas are still Alaró and Santa Maria, which are also the most expensive areas. In the areas Sencelles, Costitx and Biniali prices are, on average, slightly cheaper. If close proximity to the airport or to Palma de Mallorca is not a priority then the region of Selva or Moscari is a definite option.
Picturesque land houses in the Tramuntana
Absolutely stunning fincas between the foothills of the Tramuntana with views inland and to the coast are found mainly in the northwest of Mallorca, around Valldemossa, Deià and Sóller.

A wide range of fincas is to be found in the north overlooking the bay of Alcudia and Pollensa, but also in the predominantly rural northeast, particularly around Arta, with villas to suit every taste - from the classic holiday Finca to the sprawling country estate with its own olive grove.

Low - priced country houses in the south of Mallorca
In the south, the first buyers of holiday fincas settled around the holy mountain of Randa, and the area around Llucmajor is still one of the most desirable locations for Mallorcan fincas.
Last but not least the south east of the island should be mentioned. Since the eighties when the finca boom in Mallorca began many charming properties have been built in the tranquil area around Santanyi and Porto Colom, mostly in slightly elevated positions with fantastic views over a bay.
Regulations and laws when purchasing a Finca
The building of new fincas is now governed by strict rules which vary somewhat depending on the respective municipality. In the town of Pollenca, for example, the plot area required to obtain a building permit varies from 15,000 to 50,000 sqm depending on the area classification of the plot itself (semi/rustica, rustica, forested etc.).
Even with properties with existing buildings a thorough examination is recommended to insure that all existing structures are registered in the Property Register (Land Registry) at the time of final purchase. As a rule experienced real estate brokers will assist in examining records and gather together all the required approvals before the final notary appointment, so that after the purchase of his new finca the new owner can start his dream of a relaxing country life in Mallorca.
