This $40 million estate in Mallorca has a working winery
Son Mayol is the this million estate Mallorca collectors are circling in Establiments, a rural district on Palma's northern edge. Listed at €34 million—about $40 million—it pairs a restored 16,100-square-foot stone manor with Bodega Son Mayol, a gravity-flow winery, and more than 62 acres of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot vines producing Bordeaux-style reds, roughly 10 minutes from central Palma.
The listing matters because it is not a decorative vineyard backdrop. Son Mayol is a working finca where Swiss entrepreneurs built a professional winery, planted dozens of distinct terroirs, and kept a historic country house at the center of nearly 240 acres. That combination—estate-scale viticulture plus city proximity—is difficult to replicate on the Balearic island.
Key Takeaways
- Son Mayol spans nearly 240 acres in Establiments, including more than 62 acres of vineyards split into about 35 smaller growing areas.
- The €34 million ask (about $40 million) includes an 11-bedroom main house, a guest house, converted agricultural buildings, and a three-story winery completed in 2016.
- Bodega Son Mayol produces Bordeaux-style reds with guidance from the late Patrick Léon, former technical director at Château Mouton Rothschild.
- Solar panels, heat pumps, and wastewater recycling help the winery generate more power than it uses.
- John Taylor Palma de Mallorca holds the listing.
What Does the $40 Million Price Tag Include?
The restored main house offers roughly 16,100 square feet of usable interior space with 11 bedrooms, nine bathrooms, a library, a historic chapel, and a billiard room. Traditional stone walls, wood beams, and antique furnishings preserve its Mallorcan character while modern climate control and security systems bring contemporary comfort.
A separate guest house adds about 4,500 square feet with four bedrooms, four bathrooms, its own pool, and garden space. Additional residential structures, converted agricultural buildings, and outbuildings handle storage, administration, and equipment across the sprawling property.
How Does the Working Winery Operate?
At the heart of the estate sits Bodega Son Mayol, a three-story facility designed by Spanish architect Javier Campos and finished in 2016. Grapes move through fermentation and aging by gravity rather than pumps, a method prized for gentle handling of fruit.
The vineyard covers more than 62 acres divided into about 35 terroirs—each with its own soil, sunlight, slope, and exposure. Those micro-differences can shape flavor even when the same grape variety is planted throughout. Production focuses on Bordeaux-style reds: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and some Petit Verdot.
Patrick Léon, who spent 20 years as technical director at Château Mouton Rothschild, guided vineyard planting, cellar expansion, aging protocols, and staff training. Son Mayol's own materials describe the project as his final major commission before his death in 2018.
Why Is Location Part of the Appeal?
Landscaped Mediterranean gardens, olive groves, and almond trees frame views toward the Tramuntana Mountains. Yet despite the rural setting, central Palma sits only about a 10-minute drive away—giving owners a private country estate and professional vineyard without sacrificing urban access.
For buyers comparing luxury real estate and dream homes across Europe, Son Mayol stands out as a rare live-and-work wine property at trophy-estate scale. Full listing details and photography are available through Robb Report's coverage and John Taylor Palma de Mallorca.
