Dama de la Noche, a Horse farm near the beach in Uruguay

This exceptional horse farm is located at the heart of the Uruguayan Riviera, straddling an idyllic country-side setting and the best oceanic beaches Uruguay has to offer. Dama de la Noche´s prime location includes two exclusive golf clubs in close proximity and is just minutes away from the quaint beach villages of La Barra, Manantiales and José Ignacio, as well as from the urban conveniences of Punta del Este. This outstanding mansion sits on the highest elevation in the area, and enjoys expansive views over it´s own beautifully landscaped grounds, cascading ponds, and the most incredible sunsets over the Maldonado river beyond the property. The 5 hectares of land (12 acres) can be expanded up to 45 hectares (111 acres) with the purchase of several adjoining properties. Punta del Este airport is 40 minutes away for regional or private flights, and Montevideo airport is just 1.5 hours away. The main house has seven en-suite bedrooms with private terrace, a generous TV lounge, a large living-room bookended by two massive wood-burning fireplaces, a majestic dining room, spacious designer kitchen with breakfast room, utility room, gymnasium and spa with sauna. Outside, on the main floor, an outdoor living and dining area can accomodate twenty-two diners. On a lower deck, the quasi Olympic-sized swimming pool and sun-deck overlooks the infinite views. There are two staff bedrooms with two bathrooms, and a separate staff lodging. The original landscaping was designed by Italian Stefano Baccari, and includes a large, organic vegetable garden.
