Goro’s Stone House

The famous long running drama, ‘From The Northern Country’ used this stone house as the main set for the show. The rocks and all the materials used in the construction were taken directly from the surrounding mountains. The stone house is a completely self sufficient country house with a windmill, and small farm with some animals.
By looking through this area you can soon see why the show maintained such huge popularity for 18 years.
