Exceptional Country Estate in the Sierras of Lavalleja | 33 Hectares of Nature, Privacy & Sophistication Set amidst the breathtaking landscape of the Sierras of Lavalleja, just one and a half hours from Maldonado and approximately 30 minutes from José Ignacio by air, this extraordinary 33-hectare country estate is currently operating as an exclusive countryside lodge. With 900 m² of built area, the property combines the authenticity and scale of a traditional estancia with the comfort, character and infrastructure of a sophisticated hospitality retreat. The estate comprises two independent residences: a 600 m² main house and a 300 m² secondary house, both carefully integrated into the surrounding landscape. Main House | 600 m² The 600 m² main residence offers an exceptional combination of generous proportions, warmth and refined country living, with multiple spaces designed for both private enjoyment and entertaining guests. The accommodation includes a standard double suite with a king-size bed, a double bed and a wood-burning fireplace; a spectacular master suite with king-size bed, dressing room, vanity area, jacuzzi and bathroom; a bedroom with two full-size beds and en-suite bathroom; and an additional bedroom with a king-size bed, private sitting area, bathroom and single bed. The social areas are exceptionally spacious and include a grand living room with wood-burning fireplace, a main dining room for 10 guests, a secondary dining room for 6, a daily dining area and an outdoor dining area for 12 guests. The house also features a generous professional kitchen with its own wood-burning fireplace, private office, staff quarters, wine cellar, pantry and additional service areas. A separate barbecue house with a small suite and bunk bed provides an ideal space for informal entertaining and additional accommodation. Outside, the spectacular ecological biotope pool becomes one of the property’s defining features, surrounded by extensive gardens, decks, internal galleries and lounging areas designed to make the most of the natural setting. The grounds include mature pecan, mandarin, orange, grapefruit and lemon trees, creating a beautiful and productive landscape. Secondary House | 300 m² The 300 m² secondary residence offers three beautifully appointed accommodation units, each with its own character. The Deluxe Suite features two queen-size beds, a wood-burning fireplace, a small sitting area and a separate sleeping area within the suite with a super king-size bed. The Family Suite includes a king-size bed, wood-burning fireplace, a sofa that can be converted into an additional single bed, a baby cot and bathroom. The intimate Romantic Suite features a king-size bed, wood-burning fireplace, private sitting area and bathroom. Both residences are fully fenced, ensuring privacy and keeping the animals safely separated from the residential areas. An Exceptional Natural Resource One of the estate’s most remarkable assets is its abundance and quality of water, a feature of increasing significance in the international luxury property market. The property has two approximately 70-meter-deep wells reaching natural spring water, providing an abundant supply of exceptionally pure, potable water throughout the estate. This is a particularly remarkable feature for European buyers, for whom access to an independent, abundant and high-quality water source can represent an extraordinary and increasingly valuable natural asset. A Complete Countryside Experience The property is offered as a fully operational countryside retreat and includes horses, equestrian equipment, sheep, canoes and complete canoeing equipment, allowing its new owner to immediately continue and expand its current hospitality concept. The interiors reflect a strong sense of character and authenticity, featuring European-sourced furnishings and carefully selected pieces, including a spectacular Persian rug covering almost the entire main living room. The architectural details are equally distinctive, with cedar throughout the roof coverings, doors, windows and openings, creating a warm and timeless atmosphere that complements the surrounding landscape. Additional infrastructure includes a garage currently used as a workshop, horse corral, private airstrip and the possibility of developing a helipad, further enhancing the property’s privacy, accessibility and exclusivity. Extensive verandas, decks and outdoor lounging areas surround the residences and biotope, creating a seamless connection between the interiors and the natural surroundings. A Truly Unique Estate More than a private country residence, this is an exceptional hospitality and lifestyle property, offering 900 m² of built area across two residences, 33 hectares of pristine natural surroundings, established infrastructure, independent water resources, equestrian facilities, aviation access and a fully operational countryside lodge. Its location offers the rare combination of absolute privacy and immersion in nature, while remaining within easy reach of Maldonado and the renowned coastline of José Ignacio. A truly distinctive opportunity for an international buyer seeking scale, privacy, authenticity and exceptional natural resources, within one of Uruguay’s most beautiful and unspoiled landscapes.
