The Lago Bueno Estate in Patagonia—A Paradise for Outdoor and Adventure Enthusiasts

This spectacular retreat is offered for sale at US$12.9 million by Christie's International Real Estate exclusive Affiliate, ReMind Group


Patagonia, Argentina—Spanning 6,040 acres in the heart of South America’s southernmost region, the Lago Bueno estate is a glorious lakefront retreat nestled on the easterly slopes of the Patagonian Andes. With an ample main house, a charming guest house, and two cabins for staff, the property can host large numbers of guests who can enjoy the finest in both mountain and lakefront amenities.
The Lago Bueno estate is among the rarest of offerings in Patagonia, comprised of a 2,444-hectare (6,040-acre) mountain field with 1,360 hectares of magical Las Lengas forest. The heart of this storybook setting reveals a 100-hectare (247-acre) lake that is home to a large number of rainbow trout—highly prized in the fishing world. Thriving under the careful stewardship of its current owner, the land has been maintained at the highest levels of ecological sensitivity. Specialists from Esquel’s Forest Administration and the General Continental Fish Administration have devised a sustainability management plan for both the lake and the forest to ensure that the rugged beauty of the land is preserved for future generations.
Framed by breathtaking views of the lake and mountain, the 850-square-meter stone-and-wood main house is rich in character and valued amenities. Heated through two engine rooms, the residence enjoys in-floor radiant heating and is outfitted with a wealth of modern conveniences including wireless satellite Internet, DirectTV, and a 40kVA gas-powered emergency generator. Set beside a charming stone fireplace, the indoor swimming pool has access to one of the five high-quality audio systems throughout the residence. Walls of windows surround the main bedroom and living room, providing panoramic vistas.
Offering further comfortable accommodation on the estate is the fully equipped 180-square-meter guest house. Also on the property are the San Francisco de Lago Bueno Chapel and an 80-square-meter marina, which provides four tracks and storage space for nautical equipment. A special breakwater has been developed in which the floating marina can be assembled and disassembled according to the season.
Recreational activities on the Lago Bueno estate are beyond compare. Adventure options are as varied as the terrain and include kayaking, whitewater rafting, scuba diving, hiking, skiing, snowboarding, horseback riding, mountaineering, fishing, fly-fishing, windsurfing, mountain biking, and para-gliding.
“The vast landscape of the Lago Bueno estate is replete with crystal blue waters and abundant wildlife—on the land, the sea, and in the sky,” says Rick Moeser, Senior Vice President of Christie’s International Real Estate. “This picturesque property offers the finest in the outdoor Patagonian lifestyle.”
Located 25 kilometers from the city of Esquel, this gem of Patagonia is only 45 kilometers from Esquel Airport, which provides easy access to Buenos Aires in just over two hours. This majestic estate is offered at US$12.9 million byReMind Group, with international marketing services provided by Christie’s International Real Estate.
