Anglo-Balearic relations were reinforced in December when residents of Mallorca raised a toast to recently Knighted Sir Bradley Wiggins after the cycling champ, who spends much of his time training and relaxing on the island, was voted BBC Sports Personality of the Year 2012.

Sir Bradley’s favourite resort is Puerto Pollensa in the north-eastern corner of Mallorca. Describing it as a home from home, he was quoted whilst on holiday there in August last year as saying, “The weather’s usually great, it’s easy to get to, it’s relaxing any time of the year and it has very few lads partying – the last thing you want if you’re after a quiet family holiday.”
And rumour has it he’s now house-hunting on the island for a permanent bolthole. Agent Mallorca Sotheby’s International Realty has picked out his perfect property. Not only does it command views over Wiggins’ beloved Pollensa, but the artist owner has also created wrought iron cyclist sculptures in the garden – this house has Sir Bradley’s name on it.
From its elevated position between Pollensa town and Puerto Pollensa, this unique finca enjoys breathtaking 360 degree views towards the Bay of Pollensa and the surrounding mountains. Offering complete privacy and tranquillity, the property is full of character with many endearing features such as original beams, substantial lovingly planted gardens, ornamental ponds, numerous terraces and two swimming pools – one of which is heated.
The property comprises a large living room with fireplace, dining area, separate kitchen, four bedrooms, two of which are en-suite, a further family bathroom plus a large artists’ studio. Most rooms have terrace access and enjoy those wonderful views. Within the grounds is an independent one bedroom guest house plus a workshop suitable for conversion alongside various storerooms. A truly enchanting property. It’s on the market for €3.5million.
