  Description

  We are a couple with a beautiful lost house in the Leonese mountain, located in a town, abandoned in the 60s, where nature has absorbed the ruins creating an idyllic landscape with unbeatable views. With plenty of water and 9km from the nearest road. Ideal both for families and for those who are looking for incommunicado detention. And with the possibility of having a garden and a place for animals.

Con abundante agua y a 9km de la carretera más cercana. Ideal tanto para familias como para quien busque estás incomunicado. Y con posibilidad de tener huerto y sitio para animales.
