This picturesque part of the country is characterized by rolling hills, forests that become pastures and a quaint nostalgia of living in the countryside, yet it’s only a short car ride to the bustling capital. The property is completely isolated and there are no views on any other construction or the street, people seeking to live discretely. The original house, dating from the 70’s, respects the stringent vernacular norms imposed by the local laws. Technically speaking, the house was very outdated. It needed to be completely gutted and was offered a new layout, an extension, and therefore more space for a single man with expensive toys.
