Can Cielo, a historic hilltop finca in San Joan de Labritja, Ibiza

A Listed Historical Finca in Ibiza with Acclaimed Gardens by Juan Masedo

Can Cielo is a listed finca dating back to 1745 with terraced grounds designed by Juan Masedo, the Ibizan landscape designer whose work was recognized by El País in March 2026 among the most significant Mediterranean gardens in Spain. The house sits at the top of a 16-hectare hillside plot in the northwest of Ibiza, oriented northwest with a 180-degree view of the Mediterranean, catching a steady breeze and clear light through every season, with almost no buildings visible from the property aside from a handful of local farms.

The décor stays close to the building's origins: custom linens and towels, Moroccan rugs, whitewashed walls. Outdoor corners of the terraces have been positioned to take in the view. High in the trees above the property, a treehouse built by a Canadian carpenter to the owner's own design holds a desk, a sofa, and a wraparound terrace with sea views.

The main house spans 500 square meters. Five bedrooms sit within the main house, with a further two bedrooms in a separate, 70-square-meter wing with its own access, terrace, and garden. A TV room doubles as an optional seventh bedroom with its own bathroom. All bedrooms are doubles with custom-made wardrobes and ample storage. The master bedroom has its own private outdoor chill area, and a separate building houses the laundry room.

An infinity pool sits on one of the upper terraces above the main house, framed by ancient olive trees and grape vines, with a shaded area for the heat of the day. Sixteen hectares of terraced grounds are filled with fruit trees and an extensive vegetable garden, with dry stone walls marking each level of the slope. Unpaved country lanes lead out from the property directly into the surrounding hills.
