  Description

  There are 5 of us in the family. Gaston and I are the parents and 3 children.
  We have a vacation home in the city of La Falda, Corboba, Argentina. It is a 1951 house on a very large lot, which had several extensions. It is on a mountain range, with a view of the opposite mountains and the city. It has a dam a few blocks away. It is in a remote area of the city, but 10 minutes away by car, there are all the services. You can go visit rivers, go hiking and horseback riding in the mountains.
  The house has 7 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms; 2 kitchens, 2 dining rooms, and a very spacious living room with a spectacular view. It also has 3 covered garages, a grill and 2 galleries for various activities.
  Finally, one of the most spectacular things it has is the park, with a path, many trees and a bocce court.
