Mallorcan Megamansion That’s Set to Break Ground This Fall Lists for €42.5 Million

What will be a sprawling villa in Mallorca has hit the market for €42.5 million (US$45.8 million) making it one of the most expensive offerings currently available on the bucolic Spanish island.
Work on the almost 19,000-square-foot residence is set to begin in September, and construction is expected to take somewhere around two-and-a-half to three years, according to Alby Euesden, managing partner of the Agency’s Mallorca office, which brought the home to the market at the end of June.
Surrounded by Port d’Andratx and the scenic mountain ranges of the Tramuntana, “Villa Pura has been designed to frame its surrounding environment at every opportunity, using space, light and form,” Euesden said.
“In many ways the central feature of the space is its unique pool, which acts as its main focus point, providing a rich source of visual interest,” he said.
The sizeable infinity pool, which will run the length of the home, will be joined outside by multiple terraces, a lounge area, an outdoor bar and dining space.
Inside, the open-plan home is set to boast a sleek and organic palette, with walls of windows, exposed stone and wood details.
There will also be multiple living areas, a kitchen with two islands, a double-sided fireplace, a formal dining room, a gym and nine bedrooms, including a primary suite with a private terrace and hot tub. And of course, far-reaching Mediterranean views.

The seller is one of the leading developers on the island, according to Euesden. “They acquired the land site over five years ago and have been meticulously planning the project, which initially consisted of various lots,” he said.
Euesden declined to comment on how much was paid for the underlying property.
Mallorca’s luxury market is “very buoyant right now,” he explained. “Spain has much lower mortgage rates than the rest of Europe and the U.S., with fixed rates [currently] from 2.15%.”
With Mallorca “being a destination market which attracts buyers from all over Europe, and with an ever-growing interest from U.S. investors, the market has remained stable and even seen an increase in pricing within new developments,” he added.

Mount French Lodge offers a rare mix of privacy, scale and hospitality potential as demand grows for prestige estates beyond beachside hotspots.

Mount French Lodge, one of the most remarkable private estates in Queensland’s Scenic Rim, has been brought to market, offering a glimpse into the growing appetite for high-end lifestyle properties beyond the state’s traditional beachside enclaves.
Located in the tiny locality of Charlwood, around 100km inland from Brisbane and home to just 146 residents at the 2021 Census, the estate stands in stark contrast to its quiet surroundings. Set across nearly 100 acres and positioned some 600 feet above sea level, the property occupies a commanding vantage point beneath the escarpments of Mount French.
It’s this combination of elevation, scale and seclusion that defines the estate, not just as a private residence, but as an experience-led destination. Mount French Lodge has been recognised in both the 2024 and 2025 Best of Queensland Experiences, reflecting a broader shift towards luxury rural retreats that blur the line between home, hospitality and investment.
Last sold for $3.65 million in 2021 to Brisbane-based entrepreneur Tim Woodhouse, the estate has since evolved into a multifaceted holding. At its core is a central lodge, complemented by guest accommodation, entertaining spaces and resort-style amenities spread across two distinct plateaus.
In total, the property comprises 12 bedrooms configured across eight self-contained apartments within multiple lodges. At its heart is the Great Room, a central gathering space anchored by a large living area and fireplace. Nearby, a fully equipped outdoor pavilion with barbecue facilities sits alongside the estate’s swimming pool.
The property is being marketed as a private compound, ranch, corporate retreat and a wedding venue, highlighting its potential as a lifestyle asset with income-generating capability. This kind of flexibility is increasingly resonating with buyers, particularly as demand grows for properties that can serve as multigenerational homes, wellness retreats or boutique accommodation offerings.
Despite its sense of isolation, Mount French Lodge remains within relatively easy reach of Brisbane, around an hour by road or just minutes by helicopter. That balance of accessibility and privacy underscores the broader appeal of the Scenic Rim, which continues to emerge as a quiet achiever in Queensland’s prestige property market.
The listing is being handled by Queensland Sotheby’s International Realty agents Sandy Davies and Nicholas Miranda, and is expected to attract interest from both domestic and international buyers.
