Passivhaus certified luxury home in Santa Gertrudis

Every now and then, a home comes onto the Ibiza property market that stands out like a shining star amongst the competition. This three-bedroom Passivhaus Premium certified luxury home near Santa Gertrudis is one such home. Built in 2016 with much love, consciousness and attention to detail, it was the fifth property in the world to have been given the prestigious certification that deems it one of the most efficient homes in the world. Beautifully integrated within the Ibiza countryside, completely disconnected from the electricity and water network with zero emissions, it is completely self-sufficient.

While the concept may sound hippy, the home is anything but. Stylish, spacious and luxurious, the house has been built using 100% eco-friendly and sustainable materials from the ground up, including construction materials, flooring, wiring, paint, finishes and furniture – absolutely everything within the home breathes health and wellbeing. The ventilation system guarantees pure and clean air, free of humidity, oxygenating the home and helping its inhabitants sleep better, all the while knowing you are significantly contributing to the conservation of our planet. This is a house that truly must be experienced; it’s a feeling as much as it is a home.

Distributed over 210m², the layout includes a huge open plan living room, and spacious fully equipped kitchen with island and views of the countryside, plus two bathrooms in addition to the two bedrooms. It also features a furnished 110m² terrace pergola that can be enjoyed all year round, with electric awnings that protect you from the sun when needed. Outside, 15.000m² of fenced land flows through impeccably restored ancient stone terraces – including avocado, citrus and fruit trees of all kinds – plus a large organic garden with automatic irrigation and a pond that acts as a natural pool with an advanced aquatic cleaning system.

At the top of the plot, a dreamy wooden playground is a dream come true for families with kids, while the complete outdoor gym is ideal for grown-ups. Native chickens roam freely in an area set up for their comfort, which includes a designer wooden chicken coop, in keeping with the lines and materials of the house, while the rainwater collection system and gray water recycling boasts a sophisticated decalcification and ozone system that provides top quality water for consumption.  Finally, the property boasts two large technical rooms that house the photovoltaic installation, the automatic irrigation system, the ozone and water softening system, plus a storage room for tools and bicycles. More than a home, this is a way of life and of being in the world – this is the future of living.
