Ranch & Farmland Real Estate
Sale of historic properties, Estancias
Uruguay Argentina

I am realtor, offering farmland, ranches, rural real estate in Uruguay and Argentina. I am myself an investor in farmland, on a modest scale.

Investment in farmland has become more mainstream compared to 10 years ago. The fuel crop story is present everywhere, so is Emerging Asia’s hunger for (agro) commodities, and also a trend to hard, palpable, assets that would survive any economically stormy wheather.
Farmland valuations rose quite strongly in many parts of the world since 2004, so these macro aspects are, to some extend, priced in allready.
In any case, as of September 2011 deteriorating global outlooks for stocks, bonds, monetary stability have lent to farmland as asset class new attractivity. "“They aren’t going to make more land, but they’re going to make a lot more 30-year Treasuries.” as coined in this Financial Times article on 10th.Sept.2011

In all of southern South America farming is profitably done without receiving 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 very good price/value.

Properties in the “offers farmland, agro investments” section to the right 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 tourism, beach, rural residence” we list a few residential properties, be it by the coast or in the countryside, they do not have the main emphasis on agriculture.

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