ABOUT THE PROPERTY

This spectacular property is nestled on top of a slope wrapped by 5 hectares of manicured garden and native forest. Originally owned by landscaper Amalia Robredo, La Pasionaria says a lot about the owners’ respect for the landscape. Unlike houses that impose themselves, this villa is almost hidden - but because the house just peeps above thick woodland, its windows provide fantastic views over the nearby marshland and lagoon. The garden can best be described as managed nature. Indigenous plants are emphasized, and the central concept is to create a visually rich landscape while at the same time doing as little damage as possible to local ecosystems. The grey stone construction has a flair of bohemian style and pure sophistication with 800 sq. built including the main house, a guest house, an orchard with a greenhouse and chicken coop, the children's playground, a summer kitchen with barbecue area and internal dining room, and a charming stone pool. The main house has 2 levels. On the upper floor, the generous 50-meter master suite with stunning views of the ocean and lagoon, a large living room with dining room and the kitchen. On the ground floor, 4 suites with private bathroom, a playroom and a large living room with a wood-burning stove and access to a private garden where the pool is surrounded by native trees and connects to the outdoor dining room and summer kitchen. The tower is the highest point of the house and this is where the guest suite is located. A total of 6 suites. 
All the doors of the house belonged to the old Montevideo prison, and can only be opened from the inside. The house has underfloor heating.
