In Chilean Patagonia (Aysén), approx. 45 km from Puerto Aysén, this 2,116-hectare property is naturally suited for conservation. A creek crosses the land within the Mañihuales–Aysén hydrographic system, one of the region’s defining watersheds. What makes this asset compelling for international conservation buyers is natural infrastructure: Aysén lies in one of Chile’s wettest zones, with regional references often placing annual precipitation around 3,000–4,000 mm, and local figures near Puerto Aysén about 2,940 mm/year Aprox. In this landscape, wetlands and peatlands play a strategic role for long-term stewardship: they regulate the water cycle (buffer floods, store water during lower-precipitation periods, and improve water quality through sediment/nutrient retention) and function as natural water reserves at a territorial scale. Conservation / water-security use cases: -Private reserve and watershed protection. -Long-horizon ecological restoration and environmental monitoring. -ESG / philanthropic capital aligned with ecosystem services (water, biodiversity, resilience).
