According to News.com.au, the extraordinary home is embedded in the side of the rock face. It is situated in the magnificent Dolomite Mountains of Italy, at an elevation of nearly 9,000 feet above sea level.
For decades, Buffa di Perrero's unconventional location has left people perplexed. Others were concerned about how furniture and belongings were transported to such a remote site.
Buffa di Perrero is believed to have been constructed over 100 years ago during World War I.
The lonely house was named Buffa di Perrero and was ingeniously erected by Italian soldiers. This place served as their resting spot while battling the Austro-Hungarians in the challenging and unforgiving terrain.
The structure of Buffa di Perrero is similar to a normal house, with a pitched roof, stone walls, window frames, and a few white wooden camping chairs placed inside the house.
According to The Sun, the Buffalo di Pereiro was built by Italian soldiers during the battle against the Austro-Hungarian army (May 23, 1915-March 3, November 1918) as a rest and storage place for food and ammo.
Italian soldiers chose to build their site in the mountains of Monte Cristallo in order to have a strategic advantage over the enemy forces. They use houses as a way to locate and track enemies from a distance.
How soldiers were able to transport supplies across such difficult terrain remained a mystery until now. It is believed that the house can only be accessed by a cable car or a rope ladder.
Climbing such a steep mountain road requires participants to have a brave heart and a strong will. Of course, good physical fitness is also a factor if you want to access the house from Via Ferrata, a route complete with steel ladders, steps, and cables to the mountainside.
However, don't be too disappointed to realize that you won't be able to stay in this house, even if you have access to it. Weather conditions have caused significant damage to the house. According to the local newspaper Il Dolomiti, the house is "unusable" after the roof was punctured.
Overall Buffa di Perrero is an attractive destination for those who love thrills, adventure, and challenges.
