Property for sale in Sencelles, Mallorca

About Sencelles and area

There are about 3,100 people living in the whole of the municipality Sencelles, which is situated in the heart of Mallorcas agricultural region also known as Es Pla de Mallorca. Other villages such as Biniali, Ruberts, Jornets, Ca’s Canar and Son Arrosa, that also belong to the Es Pla region are even smaller than Sencelles and have less inhabitants! These are all villages that live mainly off agriculture, which is so important here in this area, and they all feature the typical Mallorcan architecture, which can be seen in a town house for sale in Sencelles for example. This central region of Mallorca is one of the most beautiful and peaceful on the island and certainly well worth a trip to get away from the buzz of a tourist area for a change. Here the visitor will experience the different way of living that also makes up Mallorca and get to know deep Mallorcan traditions and cuisine. Cyclists and hikers alike will enjoy blissful routes on scenic flat roads that take them through the lush, picture-postcard fields.

In spite of being in the “deep” Mallorcan countryside, Sencelles is well connected to the whole of the island due to this central location. It is only about a 30-minute drive to the centre of Palma or the airport via straight-forward country roads or the motorway which is nearby. Sencelles, and this whole area leading down to the coast, is defined by the pretty windmills, a few of which are still in action. A typical feature of the island is the local parish church, here the Parròquia de Sant Pere is positioned at the entrance to the village and not prominently on the central square, like in most other villages on the island. The Sencelles area is well-known for wine production, and some vineyards offer wine tasting and tours. 14 vineyards have joined forces under the D.O. Binissalem leadership and promote Mallorca’s wine road, Sencelles also lies along this route, the Son Prim wine cellar here is quite famous for its top quality red wines.

Properties for sale in Sencelles

There are no signs of tourism in the Sencelles area as it has hardly been developed in central Mallorca. Only a small group of individuals looking for the “different Mallorca” will check into one of the very few finca hotels (fincas rurales) to enjoy the agroturismo (“farm holidays”) as an alternative way of spending a holiday on the island. The majority of these select fincas for sale in Sencelles have been bought by foreigners who fulfil their dream of the rural lifestyle on Mallorca, some of them whilst earning a living at the same time. This is a very pleasant way to get to know a different side to the island and perhaps have some contact with the locals, many of whom speak one or the other foreign language nowadays.

Also bear in mind that prices of traditional fincas and country villas for sale in Sencelles are usually cheaper than in the neighbour towns Binissalem or Santa Maria, where prices have been driven up by foreign purchase. So, it is not only about finding more authentic Mallorcan properties for sale in Sencelles and surroundings but also about going easy on one’s purse! Whereas Sencelles may not be a “hip and in” place to reside, it is certainly more genuine and authentic.
