Ábaton’s Converted Extremadura Stable is an Enviable Solar and Hydro-Powered Country Estate in Spain

We are having a hard time suppressing the darkest pine green envy for the people who own this amazing solar and hydro-powered country estate in the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Province_of_C%C3%A1ceres">Spanish province Cáceres</a>. <a href="http://www.abaton.es/en/projects/271070731/estate-in-extremadura">Ábaton</a> breathed life into what was previously an abandoned stable while demonstrating utmost respect for the environment by incorporating existing materials into the renovation and powering the whole home with clean energy - 365 days a year. If you want to see what eco-deluxe dreams are made of, take a look at these beautiful images of the Extremadura Estate.

Ábaton has converted an abandoned stable into a beautiful country estate

We love the stone finish on this entrance!

The home is located on a 5 hectare piece of property in Western Spain - far from municipal utilities

Much of the original materials - such as stone and wood - were incorporated into the renovation

The interior has been finished with a rustic, minimalist country style

The home receives its power from the sun during the summer

In winter, hydro turbines capture energy from nearby waterways

The most cutting edge energy-saving technologies have been incorporated into the design

This home is incredibly respectful of its natural environment
