The main house was built in 1952 using adobe bricks with 40cm thick walls. In 2005 the dining, kitchen and bathroom extensions were added using red clack brick with cavity walls, which are insulated at several heights within the walls in order to create a trapped air pocket.

Here you can grow vegetables, keep horses or do any small-scale farming.
