This 200-year-old two-story town house, once a wine cellar, is in Binissalem, a village famous for its wine-making in Mallorca, Spain.
The owner is selling the property for 1,150,000 EUROS ($1.57 MILLION). Someone of my followers is up for it?
Anyway, you can have a view of the house in the picture show on the nytimes.
Not far from the Andalusian village of Casares in Andalucia, Chris and Lisa Stone have their mountainside vacation home. The couple asked the American architect John Onken to create a home that merged with its natural surroundings. No trees felled or large rock outcropping were to be removed, and they wanted their home to resemble a pueblo blanco in miniature.
They got it, and it has been a pleasure to visit them on a nice Autumnal day. See the slide show
