A private sanctuary in North Patagonia

Discover a unique and unrepeatable opportunity: a private island in one of the purest, quieter, pristine territories on the planet. Located in the majestic Lake Las Rocasonly 3 km from the boarding shore, about 10 minutes by boat, Isla Las Bandurrias offers 5 hectares of intact nature, absolute privacy and a lifestyle that simply does not exist elsewhere.

Here, in the heart of North Patagonia, the always green forest embraces every corner of the island, forming a mature ecosystem composed of coihues, cypresses, ulmos, hazelnuts, myrtyls and a rich native diversity. The forest has wild fruits, and a perimetral path connects viewpoints, docks, gardens and different constructions.

This is a refuge where life goes in harmony with nature:
Pudus that are seen between the trees, magellanic wood pecker hitting the trunks, hummingbirds, tiuques, hualas that nest on the water... and the transparent waters of the lake, home of rainbow trout, show the absolute purity of the environment.

Such an island is not sold. It's inherited, it's taken care of, it's kept. And today, exceptionally, it is available for a new custodian.

Two homes ready to live, rent or receive guests

The island has a main house and a fully functional cabin, both built with native alerces and cypress wood, with impeccable maintenance and up-to-date systems to ensure comfort and autonomy.

This is a place where each day you live differently:

Get up with mirrors of crystalline water.
Walk silent paths under centenary trees.
Turn on a fireplace and look at the forest from a bow window.
Fish, paddle, swim or just sit and watch.
To live without noise, without interruptions, without haste.

Those who have inhabited this island describe it with one sentence:

"If there is a paradise on Earth, it is here." - Emery Willis
