The Stoic

Find simplicity within the extravagant.

The Stoic is a perfect retreat for solo getaways as well as couples seeking a unique and modern home, a hideaway with a less common lookout. For those who want to enjoy the “retreat” atmosphere, they can start the day with yoga on the terrace or wake up with the sun to swim in the dam descending to the nearby bay to the house.

The property is located in the Private Mountain Neighborhood “Miralago de Potrerillos”. We will reach the entrance of the neighborhood and then we will access through its internal streets, ascending by our own road that will take us to the top of the hill where the house is located. Upon arriving at the property, we will first find the social area, where we will have an open fire space (stone fire pit) and then the semi-covered pergola, a large table, and an outdoor shower to take a bath while looking at the landscape. Attached to it, we will find a private shed, with kitchen, laundry, 1 full bathroom, and a room with two single beds. Equipped with everything necessary for a comfortable stay. Also here is the deposit, where the kayaks and water elements, among others, are stored.

Then we will descend the hill by a stone staircase surrounded by all the vegetation of the place, to reach the entrance of the main house. To access it, we will cross a bridge, since the house is hung on the hill from a large and imposing structure of concrete and metal. Upon entering, we will find a large space with large glass windows, to have a 360-degree panoramic view of the water mirror, the Andes mountain range that surrounds us. This space has a kitchen, dining room, and living room, fully equipped from kitchen utensils, coffee maker, wood-burning stove to board games and many other things for an amazing stay. Then, we will find a master bedroom with a double bed and a full bathroom en suite, and another room with two single beds, balcony, and another full bathroom. We will find all the white linen for our stay (sheets, towels).

The house has a large opening of sliding windows that will allow us to go out to the huge terrace suspended in the air, which gives us a unique viewpoint. It is equipped with a large sofa for 6 people. All the mentioned spaces are equipped with Black Out roller blind system and vertical bands system to sift the light as one wishes.

Guests will have access to all areas of the property. In the case of up to 4 guests, the beds will be prepared in the rooms of the main house only. In the case of more than 4 guests, both the beds in the rooms of the main house and those in the shed room are prepared.

The property is 100% sustainable, it has solar panels to supply the electricity grid, bottled gas pipes, spring water, and a sewage system by biodigester and nitrifying bed. Therefore, conscious use of these precious resources is requested. Electricity use must be carefully managed at night and on cloudy days, as well as measured use of water from all sanitary fixtures. Papers should not be flushed down the toilet.

If you are a trekking lover, you can easily move around the neighborhood on foot. Walking through the internal streets or venturing into the nature of the place. With a vehicle, you can move within the neighborhood to go to the water of the Potrerillos Reservoir, and even better if you bring the kayaks that are on the property to row in the water mirror. Also, cycling is a very pleasant activity to move around the neighborhood and enjoy the mountain.

Located in the Mendoza piedmont, away from all urban areas. The property is surrounded by wildlife from the region, such as foxes, field mice, snakes, guanacos, birds, and others. These animals are elusive and should not be touched or fed by humans.

The property has security cameras located outside, in the deposit, and machinery room. Both at the entrance to control the arrival and perimeter of the property, as well as on the terrace and balcony as a security tool given the height of the property. It also has an alarm to arm the house when one is absent.
