San Lorenzo Property for Sale

These days, modern life flies past at an increasingly rapid pace, with little time to slow down and enjoy the small things. The contradiction, of course, is that more people than ever are now railing against that momentum, instead choosing to go in search of a different kind of lifestyle. For those in search of peace, quiet and ever illusive stillness, Ibiza has become an increasingly popular relocation destination. Admittedly, the white isle isn’t famed for its tranquility but those in the know are aware that there’s more than just one side to Ibiza. This Mediterranean Island in Spain has a kaledioscopic personality, and serenity is a vital pillar of that.

Nowhere more so than the truly tiny village of San Lorenzo (Sant Llorenç in Catalan), nuzzled right in the centre of Ibiza’s northern heartland. A blink and you’d miss it sort of place, San Lorenzo is home to just a few whitewashed farmhouses dotted here and there and an ancient Medieval church, all interspersed by rolling green hills and the feeling that you are far more remote than you really are. Just one solitary road runs through it, and if you were on an island larger than Ibiza, you’d feel like you were far out, deep in the sticks. As it is, you’re actually only a few minutes’ drive from lots of Ibiza’s bustling cosmopolitan hubs, not to mention a slew of its most spectacular beaches.

Thanks to its postcard-worthy good looks, San Lorenzo is highly sought after among those who want to live more off grid but still keep in close proximity to busy towns and amenities. And while San Lorenzo itself doesn’t offer a lot in terms of property for sale (it is minuscule, after all), it’s easier to locate country houses, apartments, fincas, villas, and general real estate in the surrounding area. Blessed with beautiful countryside, and with some of the island’s best restaurants on its doorstep, small wonder there’s an influx of interest in this picture perfect little spot that offers both quietude and a thriving nearby social scene.

In fact, despite its diminutive size, the valley of San Lorenzo (Valle San Lorenzo) offers all kind of different property and land for sale. From authentic fincas (traditional farmhouses) and sleek luxury villas to spacious apartments and luxury houses, the entire municipality is home to a range of architecturally diverse real estate and land for sale.

At the core of San Lorenzo’s desirable appeal is the laid-back, Balearic lifestyle it offers. From early mornings spent amid golden-flushed countryside and long, lazy lunches on spacious outdoor terraces, to magical twilit nights and days spent lounging round the pool, there is space to bring your Mediterranean dream to life. Just imagine an estate all of your own – pine trees reaching for the sky in the distance, kids splashing around in the pool, and a completely private location providing the blank canvas on which to paint your every day life.
The slow, sleepy tempo of San Lorenzo living is hard to resist, but there’s plenty to dip your toe into when you want to experience a slice of typical Ibiza or a little bit of luxury. Here’s an idea of proximity of nearby towns and beaches (playas):

Santa Gertrudis (de Fruitera) – 16 minutes by car
Ibiza Town (Eivissa) for Formentera ferries and Marina Botafoch – 27 minutes by car 
Santa Eulalia (Santa Eularia del Rio) – 16 minutes by car
San Juan (Sant Joan de Labritja) – 8 minutes by car 
Cala Llonga – 22 minutes by car
Portinatx – 14 minutes by car
Roca Llisa – 29 minutes by car
Benirras – 7 minutes by car 

Of these, Santa Gertrudis, San Juan and Santa Eulalia are perhaps the most visited neighbouring towns from San Lorenzo. Home to large ex-pat communities and a fabulous array of places to dine and drink (luxury and budget options), residents of San Lorenzo often pop to these places for Sunday lunch or a roam around their weekly markets. There’s a great sense of Ibiza community here, so it’s simple to locate likeminded souls and people with similar mindsets – an important foundation for making you feel at home in Ibiza, rather than just a visitor. 

There’s also a diverse range of San Lorenzo property available – some deep in the Ibiza campo, some closer to towns like Santa Gertrudis and San Juan. Over the years, we at GHL Ibiza have sourced kinds of property on behalf of our clients. That includes country houses with multiple furnished bedrooms, bathrooms, swimming pools and outdoor terraces. We’ve also found modern villas, rustic fincas, and luxury apartments more like penthouses in style and features. We’ve discovered plots of land for sale with space for luxury properties to be constructed, and other real estate for sale that’s ticked every box for our customers. Sea views aren’t common in this location on account of the surrounding countryside but you can guarantee that if there’s a property for sale with sea views, we’ll find it!

Of all the areas with property and real estate for sale in Ibiza, there’s no denying that San Lorenzo is hands down one of the most charming. An area that conjures feelings of stepping back in time, houses, villas and fincas here have a certain charisma that makes them extremely attractive to buyers. The Ibiza lifestyle adds to that too, of course. Living in San Lorenzo means you can easily dine at some of the island’s best restaurants in the most stunning locations, while also maintaining a relaxed, laid-back attitude that removes stress from the day-to-day. Instead, it’s replaced by private property that’s set away from the hustle and bustle, allowing you to switch off until you want to partake in some local action.
