Exceptional horse farm in La Barra

Zañartú is an enchanting haras located at the heart of the Uruguayan Riviera, sited on 75 acres of rolling hills, minutes away from the best Atlantic beaches, and in close proximity to two first class Golf courses. The charms of the beach villages of La Barra, Manantiales and José Ignacio lie within minutes, as do all the conveniences of more urban Punta del Este and Maldonado towns. The property boasts three ponds connected by Brooks; tool-sheds, stables, paddocks and an organic vegetable garden connected to a rose garden and fruit orchard. The main house encompasses an area of 6458 ft2 (600m2) and is surrounded on the entrance side by a charming walled patio that also encloses the guest house and features a water fountain. The living-room and dining areas overlook the open fields, with their rolling meadows, dotted with tree stands and cascading ponds. A fire place and central heating make cozy Zañartú equally enjoyable during the mild Uruguayan Winter months. The main house also comprises the master bedroom with adjoining dressing room. Also in the main building is a TV room with a home-office corner, and the kitchen with its pantry and cellar. An outdoor living area includes a 12-top dining table. Down an enchanting winding trail through the garden is a swimming-pool flanked by six sunbeds. The separate guest house has four bedrooms, two of them en suite. The landscaping was done in successive stages by two renowned international landscape professionals, resulting in the current mature trees and gardens throughout the grounds.
