23,662 hectares on the shores of Lake Argentino with views of the city El Calafate
Imagine such a vast territory that the days seem to stretch out and Patagonia reveals itself in all its splendor. This is the Estancia on Lake Argentino, La Angostura: 23,662 hectares that combine 10 kilometers of coastline on Lake Argentino, with a view towards the city of El Calafate, mountains that embrace the horizon, the Cañadón de los Potros, and endless prairies where up to 3,500 sheep and 600 cattle graze freely.
A natural canvas for multiple projects
- Subdivision permitted: the regulations allow for subdividing and selling smaller parcels, ideal for developing high-end tourist or residential macro-lots.
- Water resources: the stream El Turbio, various lagoons, and marshes guarantee water for the estate and enhance biodiversity.
- Solar exposure and Patagonian winds: perfect for integrating renewable wind or solar energy.
- Infrastructure built to last
- Main house of 300 m² (English style), ready to be restored and converted into a boutique lodge or family retreat.
- Shed for shearing, maintenance shed with pit, corral and elevated tank: ready for operation from day one.
- Independent housing for the manager and teams, plus an intermediate post on the estate that opens the door to adventure tourism.
Strategic location with a Patagonian soul
Just 83 km from El Calafate (1 hour from the airport) and 21 km from Route 40 via an excellent road. From here, the Perito Moreno glacier, El Chaltén, and Estancia Cristina are natural excursions. The 4G signal reaches the estate and Starlink can be installed for premium connectivity.
A landscape alive with life
Yellow coirón, romerillo, and calafate paint the steppe; guanacos, foxes, and pumas cross the visitor's gaze; the poplars and willows around the estate provide shelter at sunset. The climate is cold and dry, with 150-300 mm of annual precipitation: perfect for fine wool sheep and lean beef cattle.
Investment potential and legacy
The Estancia on Lake Argentino, La Angostura, has its own title and is free of restrictions or mortgages. La Angostura is more than land: it is a heritage ready to multiply in value. From an exclusive fly-fishing lodge to a development of macro-lots facing the lake and an elite cattle operation, the possibilities converge in one point: the last great virgin territory on the largest lake in Argentine Patagonia.
