Description

A rare opportunity to own a distinctive countryside residence on 5 hectares of private land in La Barra, combining minimalist design with the warmth of natural materials and total seclusion. This stone-clad estate reflects a refined architectural language that embraces simplicity, light, and a deep connection with the landscape.

Built on a single level, the home is characterized by clean lines, large-scale sliding glass panels, and extensive use of raw stone and reclaimed wood. A wide covered terrace made of natural timber runs along the main façade, shaded by a thoughtfully crafted pergola that casts filtered light throughout the day. Inside, the living spaces are open and fluid, blending modern comforts with rustic textures and a strong indoor-outdoor connection.

The main wing includes six bedrooms positioned at the front of the property, each with garden access and views of the surrounding greenery. An independent, fully equipped guest or staff house provides privacy and functionality, while an additional annex—currently used for storage—offers flexible potential for more bedrooms, a studio, or a private retreat.

Outdoors, a sleek linear swimming pool anchors the landscape, complemented by multiple fire pits, a professional-grade tennis court, and shaded woodland trails. Mature native forest surrounds the home, offering unmatched peace and a sense of retreat—while remaining easily accessible from La Barra and surroundings.

Beyond its design and scale, this home holds stories. One summer night back in the 90s, beneath the stars and the soft glow of the pergola lights, a legendary gathering took place—Diego Maradona among the guests. Music drifted through the trees, laughter echoed across the field, and for one unforgettable evening, this peaceful estate became the backdrop to one of Uruguay’s most talked-about soirées. It’s a detail not often shared, but always remembered.

A timeless blend of architecture, nature, and history—this estate offers more than just a home. It offers a story.
