A wine cellar, five apartments, two cottages, multimedia lounge, a spa and arresting views are just a few of the features in Michael Douglas’s Mallorca impressive estate. 

The property, which is known as S’Estaca, sits on 250 acres and offers expansive views of the sea.

It's situated on the Western Coast of Mallorca on the coast of Sierra de Tramuntana, a World Heritage Site.

The palatial property also has a rich history – completely private on its almost 200 acres spanning the mountains to the sea, S’Estaca was purchased by Archduke Ludwig Salvator of Habsburg in 1867. 

He used this as a place where he could hide his paramours away from prying eyes and would transport them to the island via his steam-yacht the Nixe.

For Archduchess Mathilde, his one great love, he had steps carved out of the rock so she could walk into the sea to swim.

In an effort to promote the home and move on, the two-time Academy Award winner has even done a voice-over for a special video highlighting the villa's beauty.

'My life has taken a new course,' Michael says in the video, 'and now it’s time for me to let someone else enjoy he privilege and adventure of owning S’Estaca.' 

In the video, Douglas recalls how 'when I first saw S’Estaca in 1990, I also fell under its spell and bought the property.'
