A modern house made from boulders (11 HQ Photos)

Pilar Acevedo and Enrique Saulle, a New York City couple looking for a change, built a home in a remote part of Uruguay. The three bedroom house was constructed using granite from the couple’s 100-acre property. The walls are 15 inches thick, the ceilings 11 feet high. The cost of construction was $140,000.

I live in a house with 3' thick granite walls – perhaps the chive would like to feature it?

It's a bit misleading – the walls aren't built out of the local stone, they're just used as a facade, the structure wouldn't work if it was built out of stone and the location of the light switches is a dead give-away.

Boo you na sayer, never underestimate anyone when they build a structure!!! I work construction as an electrician and and things that seam impossible from a finished product stand point are sometimes quite simple during construction. Just saying.

Wow my Family is from Uruguay and i never expected it to be mentioned on the chive since no one here actually knows it exists.

It’s nice, buying was expecting somethings bit more intact boulder-y. When my tiny little house was built in the mountains over a 100 years ago, the foundation was poured around boulders. I’ve actually got them sticking up from the floor tall enough to sit on. It’s not something you see very often….

I always wonder who these people are (i.e how they earn their living) who can just pick up and move to a remote part of Uruguay because they want a change.

I need a job I can do entirely from home/over the internet!
