One Of a Kind House Of Stone

Probably, each one of you (including me) saw this picture many times before, and thought it is photoshoped. However, it's a real place in Portugal known as Casa do Penedo. Literally translated "House of Stone" which is situated in Northern Portugal. It was at first constructed as a mountain retreat approximately 1974 by an engineer, motivated with the natural area given by four huge boulders. Even though house may look antique, it isn't without amenities, such as a fireplace along with a swimming pool created using one of several huge rocks. As a result of current attention generated by the house and its particular distant location, House of Stone was the subject of robbery attempts and vandalism recently. At this moment, the house is equipped with bulletproof windows as well as a metal front door. Inside, the home is reported to be very comfortable, having stone furniture, stairway, and railings made of logs.
