Farmland Real Estate, Investments in Agriculture
Lands, Ranches, Estancias - properties in Uruguay Argentina Paraguay

Investment in farmland has become more mainstream compared to 10 years ago and farmland valuations rose quite strongly in many parts of the world since 2004.
Farming in southern South America is generally profitable without relying on state subsidies.
Argentina and Uruguay have a rather european culture and, at least Uruguay, a rather stable political, juridical and social framework.
Paraguay is a country with weaker rule of law, but offering, especially in the Chaco, lands of attractive price/value ratio.
For the time being we discontinue offering properties in Argentina unless they feature historic architecture.

Properties in the “offers farmland investments Uruguay” listings page are located in the Pampa Humeda, of Argentina (Provinces Buenos Aires, Entre Rios)and Uruguay, with its temperate climate with roughly 1.200 mm of rainfall rather evenly distributed annually and often with black rich agricultural soils, similar to the Prairie States of the US Midwest.
They are viable investments in agriculture (soya, wheat, corn, sorghum etc) and/or cattle ranching and allow about any other activity, be it on hobby or professional scale, stud / equestrian estate, polo ranch, wine yard, fruit yard.

At ”offers residential real estate Uruguay” we list a few properties, some being waterfront, some with proximity to the coast or in the countryside, main emphasis not being on agriculture.

I am an afficionado of historic estates of South America, of the Gentleman Rancher’s lifestyle associated with it. I try to have some old Estancias, Haciendas, Fazendas included in the listings, listed under ”offers historic estates”
