Land for sale in Uruguay, on a lake front in Punta del Este
(Abajo versión en Español)
We sell two beautiful pieces of land in Laguna del Sauce, close to Punta del Este, in Uruguay, South America.
An ideal place for wild life lovers, who will find in it black-necked swans, ibis, ducks, storks and a whole variety of sea, fresh water and land fowl, along with otter, capybara, foxes, hare, "armadillos" and sometimes a "ñandú" (South American ostrich).
Both lots have their own 150-meter (164 yards) coast on that fashionable 5,000-hectare (12,500 acres) fresh water lake, separated from the sea by a sand bank.
Enjoying clean air and soil (no industry or big cities around) and pure spring water on a tranquil lake where the rich and famous have built their country homes, this property is located at a 15-minute drive from the sea shore, Portezuelo Beach, Punta Ballena and Casapueblo, some of the big attractions of Punta del Este.
Pristine nature and a XIXth-Century atmosphere just a few minutes away from one of the most sophisticated sea resorts in South America, where the visitor will find all of the style, the flavour and the advantages of the XXIst. Century.
Northern property. 16.7 hectares (41.2 acres) in one piece, that can also be bought separately as two lots of 8,3 hectares (20.6 acres) each. This property is limited on one side by a water stream that runs into the lake through a wood of willow trees. It has also several groups of trees: one of "eucalyptus" trees and a few of local species. This corner of the lake is the preferred refuge of wild life and fish. The lake coast is lined with vegetation. The center of this land is open, climbing slowly to an upper rocky section, well above the lake level. A small brook crosses those old rocks, forming ponds and small falls.
Price: Total price for 16.7 hectares: 668,000 US dollars, 4 US dollars the square meter (16.2 US dollars the acre). Or total price for 8.3 hectares: 350,000 US dollars.
Southern property. 22.8 hectares ( 55.3 acres) sold in one piece, can also be divided by the buyer in various lots (minimum area allowed: 5 hectares). This hilly property enjoys a marvelous open view to the lake. Its lake shore is sandy and open. Three groups of eucalyptus trees are located in different parts of the land. The house, part of it built in stone around the year 1848, has a U shape around a central patio with its water well, and several constructions covering around 260 sq. meters (2,798 sq. ft). The crystal clear water used in the house comes from a spring located in the property.
Total price for 22.8 hectares: 1,368,000 US dollars. 6 US dollars the square meter (24,737 US dollars the acre).
