Casa Nekola | An Architectural Retreat In The Foothills Of Córdoba

Located in Colanchanga, within Río Ceballos, Casa Nekola is set in the foothills of the Sierras Chicas, surrounded by a dramatic mountain landscape of steep topography, native vegetation, and sweeping open views over the valley. Positioned within a protected natural reserve, the property offers complete privacy while remaining highly accessible, just 30 minutes from Córdoba International Airport and 35 km from the city.

Designed by renowned architect Miguel Ángel Roca and developed between 2006 and 2011, the residence features 430 m² (4,628 sq. ft.) of interior living space on a commanding site that transforms the home into a true natural lookout point.

The architecture merges seamlessly with the hillside through a bold volumetric composition embedded into the terrain, orienting its principal living areas toward panoramic mountain and valley views. The design responds precisely to the landscape, with carefully positioned openings that maximize natural light and scenery while preserving privacy and shelter.

The project is organized into two primary volumes separating the social and private areas, connected by an open terrace courtyard overlooking the landscape. Externally, these volumes appear as linear sculptural forms functioning as authentic “observation tubes,” reinforcing the distinctive architectural identity of the residence.

On the lower level, the home features a spacious work area and garage, resolving access from the lowest point of the site. Vertical circulation follows the natural slope of the terrain, creating a dynamic spatial experience deeply connected to its surroundings.

The offering also includes an independent guest cabin with barbecue area, adding approximately 80 m² (861 sq. ft.) of covered space, all set within a remarkable 7-hectare estate (17.3 acres), enhancing both recreational use and rental potential.

A truly singular property with a powerful architectural identity, ideal for those seeking design, nature, and absolute privacy just minutes from the city.
