Hamish Gordon, the current owner, and his family took a trip down to Mallorca. His mother, an avid fan of George Sands’ book A Winter in Mallorca, was on the hunt for the romance and mystique of the island that was captured in those pages. His father, a diplomat for the Canadian government, was eager to not retire in Ottawa, Canada and was searching for a little casita by the sea or in the mountains. Not finding it in Peguara, they ventured west to Port Andratx where they discovered a captivating blend of fishermen and expats living harmoniously year-round. Here, they met an American who would guide them through rugged mountain roads, encountering scenes straight out of a bygone era—donkey carts, shepherds, and ancient Mallorquin villages frozen in time. Finally, after walking up a long, steep dirt track, they stumble upon the ruins of a centuries-old finca. Despite the desolation, the family was entranced by the property’s views of the Mediterranean and the tranquil beauty of its surroundings. They had found Son Viguet and fell in love.
