Designer Home in a Private Neighborhood

Casa Pétalo, designed by the well-known architects Barrionuevo-Sierchuck, is located in a privileged location within the renowned El Quijote finca development. Located on the first line of the private nature reserve, this residence stands out not only for its original design and location but also for the quality of its construction. The house was built to the highest standards, using a traditional system with an iron structure and Isodeck roof, double-glazed PVC windows, and an inverter air conditioning system (hot-cold) that guarantees optimal insulation and exceptional comfort throughout the year. The property is made up of two main buildings. The first houses the master suite, two en-suite bedrooms, a spacious living-dining room with a kitchen, a guest bathroom, a formal kitchen, and a laundry room. The second building, currently used as a ceramics workshop and office with a bathroom, could easily be converted into a fourth en suite bedroom according to the owner’s needs. All rooms are bright and spacious, affording spectacular views of the surrounding nature reserve. Outside, there is a sparkling 60-square-meter heated swimming pool, a barbecue/grill area with covered dining and lounge areas, an open fire area with another outdoor dining area, and numerous nooks where residents can delight in the stunning landscape and sunset views. In addition, the property has covered parking for four vehicles, an enclosed drying area, and an additional outdoor bathroom. The Designer Home in a Private Neighborhood offers the perfect combination of country living with access to the services and amenities within the complex, all just 10 kilometers from La Barra and its beaches, approximately 20 kilometers from Punta del Este and/or José Ignacio and about 6 kilometers from San Carlos, where the nearest hospital is located. The neighborhood provides 24-hour security, horse-riding facilities, a clubhouse with a swimming pool, a tennis court, and future facilities including a gym and a paddle tennis court.
The house is located within a private neighborhood, a pioneer of its kind, consolidated several years ago and which already comprises more than 100 houses. It is located on the Cerro Eguzquiza tourist route that connects La Barra with San Carlos, 1.5 km from the well-known 5-star hotels, Fasano and Posada Aguaverde, among others, and 7 minutes from the city of San Carlos, 10 minutes from La Barra and its beautiful beaches and 30 minutes from Punta del Este and/or José Ignacio. Immersed in an undulating landscape and with several waterholes and lagoons, the total area of the development is 360 hectares, of which 165 correspond to the nature reserve with more than 75 species of birds and native forests, and with coast on the Maldonado – San Carlos stream. Here, we find La Ribereña, a spot with a viewpoint overlooking a small beach with tables and barbecue/grills. It also has a beautiful clubhouse with a barbecue/grill area and an outdoor bar with a stone oven and an organic garden. In high season, there is also a restaurant and recreation service for children.
