Real Estate In Uruguay

If you are seeking to diversify your life internationally, owning a chacra in Uruguay may fit the bill perfectly.

A chacra in Uruguay is a piece of land smaller than 100 hectares (can be as small as a half-hectare; bigger than 100 hectares or so (247 acres), and a chacra becomes an estancia in this part of South America.)

This investment can often be self-sustaining and generally costs less than other types of property purchases, as they are often found away from the more expensive beach areas. This is an option that is right for an increasing number of individual investors.

While a chacra may serve as a vacation home for the time being—or a normal residence—they can often be set up to operate off the grid, for those who would like that independence.

Finally, chacras generally cost less, as they are often found away from the more expensive beach areas.

Shopping for a chacra in Uruguay, you’ll find that the most expensive ones are often part of a development, rather than off on their own. Both approaches offer advantages.

With the developed version, a chacra typically comes with electricity and a maintained road, as well as a front gate. But they can also be quite high end (usually near the coast) with elegant club houses, restaurants, and pools.

We’ve seen 5-hectare chacras go for US$55,000… but we’ve also seen them priced at US$350,000.
