The Barn,Multifunctional Nordic Shelter For Collectors And Creatives Near Punta Ballena.

Conceived as a different kind of space within today’s market, “El Galpón” combines contemporary Nordic design, functionality, and technology in a safe, nature-surrounded setting, within a gated community near Punta Ballena. Built in 2024 on a 1,107 m² lot, this property was designed for those seeking to integrate home, passion, and lifestyle in one place.

Its barn-style architecture, developed over two floors using a steel-frame system, was conceived especially as a haven for collectors of cars, motorcycles, or boats, though it is also ideal for artists, designers, architects, or professionals who need a large creative and work space integrated into everyday life.

The ground floor revolves around a spectacular 144 m² garage/workshop, a spacious and versatile area that allows multiple uses: vehicle display, atelier, creative studio, mechanical workshop, or a large-scale social space. Complementing this level is the living-dining area with integrated kitchen and a full bathroom, achieving a warm, modern, and functional aesthetic.

The exterior was designed for year-round enjoyment, with a complete 72 m² social area that includes a grill, pizza oven, outdoor stove, wet sauna, dry sauna, swimming pool, and jacuzzi, creating an ideal setting for gatherings, relaxation, and social life.

On the upper floor is a large 72 m² primary en-suite loft, with kitchenette and spacious walk-in closet, conceived as a private, flexible space with a strong identity. Two additional en-suite bedrooms, both with large closets, complete the upper level.

“El Galpón” also offers an excellent level of efficiency and comfort thanks to its construction system and applied technology. The structure features full insulation with expanded polyurethane throughout the entire barn and double fiberglass-wool sandwich panels, ensuring high thermal and acoustic efficiency. The windows are double-glazed (DVH) and it includes solar panels, significantly reducing energy consumption. According to its owners, the electricity cost dropped to approximately one third after installation.

Heating is provided by gas radiators on the upper floor and underfloor heating in the ground-floor living area, complemented by hot/cold air-conditioning units in all rooms except the garage. The hot-water system runs on gas via a compartment with five 45 kg cylinders. The property also has an electric gate and security cameras.

Located in a gated community with centralized access, nighttime security, and maintenance of roads and common areas, this property offers privacy, tranquility, and excellent connectivity to Punta Ballena, Punta del Este, services, schools, dining, and beaches.

A truly unique offering, where architecture, design, and lifestyle merge to create a space designed both for living and for enjoying passions, projects, and creativity.
