There surely would be many things to consider, especially if you are searching for a very specific kind of home.

Some people love to be in the countryside, while others prefer to be in the city.

Some families are after luxury and glamour, while others are more into convenience but affordable.

The possibilities are endless, and when a future homeowner decides to choose their humble abode, many factors are considered.

Carlos Alonso and his sister, Camino, were trying to find a home for their extended family in the country.

They are not looking for a busy life but a more relaxed and calm one.

The best place to go is the countryside where people are not too keen on going to the fast lane.

A laid-back ambiance without compromising luxury is what they were looking for.

They found this incredible space in the most unlikely place.

Carlos and Camino are not just future homeowners; they are also experts in home design.

They are, in fact, partners in a Madrid architectural firm in Abaton.

The two saw an abandoned cow stable in rural Extremadura in Spain.

The old structure was in a perfect spot.

They wanted a place off the grid, so their extended family could have a place to go to that will keep them away from all the hustle and bustle of the world.

They were looking for a place that would be hard to find but also one where you would love to stay forever.

Initially, the abandoned stable was nothing special, but they saw its potential.

An abandoned cow stable miles away from society and the nearest water and electricity was the place they wanted to live in.

Although the structure does not look habitable at first, these experts have eyes that see how worn-down things can be improved and transformed.

Because they decided to buy and renovate the home, Carlos and Camino immediately went to work.

Considering all the changes needed to make the place beautiful, habitable, and luxurious, the two finally ended up building a home filled with elegance, relaxation, and uniqueness.

Nobody would even guess that the place used to be a cow stable.

The foundation of the place was kept as their tribute to the original builders of the building, but they changed and improved everything else.

The interior design was impeccable, and they also made sure it looked incredible externally.

There were glass walls installed, and the house even has its own water supply!

Of course, comfort is not complete without the little conveniences that life offers through a well-made luxurious home.

Carlos and Camino made sure this was achieved.

Their home is not usual, and its uniqueness is part of its charm.

Even the place where it is situated is already an extraordinary thing for this home.

Curious to find out what it looks like?
