lands for sale Puerto Varas, Chile

Five hundred meters from the mainland, in the sheltered waters of Seno de Reloncavi, Isla Manzano offers what few properties in Chile can: private land in every direction, and the ocean as its boundary on each side. Spanning twenty hectares with over two thousand meters of coastline and three private sandy beaches, the island enjoys full 360-degree exposure to the gulf. Unlike most island properties in the region, Isla Manzano is accessible by vehicle via a five-hundred-meter tidal estuary from Caleta El Manzano at low tide, an uncommon condition that permits everyday use without reliance on a boat. At high tide, access is by water. The island is located 20 kilometers from Hornopirén and 90 kilometers from Puerto Montt. The property is fully developed and staffed by a resident caretaker. The two-story Club House serves as the main structure: on the ground floor, a double-height central hall with exposed wooden beams, an indoor stone grill, a wood-fired clay oven, a Bosca wood stove, and a fully equipped kitchen — spaces conceived to host large groups with the Patagonian landscape as a constant backdrop. The upper floor contains three bedrooms and the caretakers quarters with private bathroom. Three independent cabins, each set within native forest and separated by natural vegetation, provide additional private accommodation; Cabin 1, the most recently built, features panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows facing the gulf, a double bedroom, private bathroom, and wood stove. The property also includes a covered outdoor barbecue pavilion with grill and clay oven, and gravel paths connecting all structures. The infrastructure operates with considerable autonomy: potable water connected to the public supply of Caleta El Manzano, a 20-panel Solar World SW145 photovoltaic system — 2,900 W installed capacity with an estimated daily output of 5,500 Wh at 220V — and mobile coverage from Movistar and Entel. The immediate surroundings combine native Patagonian forest, coastal marine wildlife, and unobstructed views of Cerro El Toro across the gulf. Natural hot springs, rivers, national parks, and the Carretera Austral lie twenty kilometers away. A property without direct precedent in the southern Chilean real estate market.
