***go down on foot, highlight not cycleable***
The point of interest can be easily reached by bike with the service road behind sa cantinedda, but obviously to go down to visit the house you have to park the bike and go down the steps at the side of the road.

It can be visited only during the dry season, during the rainy season the house is partially submerged almost to the roof.
In 1997, with the inauguration of the new dam (Eleonora d'Arborea dam) and the further raising of the water level, the house of the foreman ends up underwater to keep company with the remains of zuri, the petrified forests, some nuraghe and other structures of anthropogenic origin.The house housed the foreman, the deputy head and their respective families, now it houses only ruins and vegetation.
