Recognized as one of the greatest remaining woodlands on earth, the 348,000-acre Chilean estate lies directly between the sea and the mountains, known as Zona de Los Lagos Andinos

New York, NY (October )—In North Chilean Patagonia, 348,000-acres of extreme natural beauty command native forests unique to the world at Hacienda Pucheguin. This land-only offering is a paradise of unparalleled natural beauty made up of a universe of forests, rivers, lakes, granite and trees as old as time. Christie’s International Real Estate, the world’s leading luxury real estate network, with Bórquez & Associates, its exclusive Affiliate in Chile, has listed Hacienda Pucheguin at US$150 million.

Hacienda Pucheguin’s colonial homestead is 621 miles south of Santiago and 74 miles from Bariloche, home to descendants of the region’s first colonial settlers. These hospitable people lived in harmony with nature in this unique pocket of paradise bound by rolling hills, water and pastoral of sheep, cattle, and horses, leaving the land essentially untouched. An oxygen lung for the planet, Hacienda Pucheguin is the only place in the world that affords visitors the privilege of hiking along trails lined with ancient hardwood trees.

“The rarity and diversity of this Patagonian wilderness is an incomparable piece of environmental art to be as treasured by its next owner just as a Picasso or Monet painting would be,” said Rick Moeser, Executive Director of Christie’s International Real Estate. “The property has been responsibly protected and could serve as a sensitively developed eco-resort, a private residence, or await its next conservation steward.”

The privileged location is excellent for tourist activities, including skiing, fishing, trekking, kayaking, horseback riding, rock climbing and more. With the construction of the new international highway linking Argentina and Chile, more travelers will be able to visit and relish one of the world’s last genuine outposts of pristine wilderness.

Welcomed by the richness of the fresh air from the forests, the land’s beauty is captivating and deep. Enveloped in a world suspended in time, the property is home to the largest and longest living tree species in South America, the 3,500-year-old Patagonian cypress. High rainfall in the rainforest has favored the formation and growth of a variety of mosses, trees, and foliage.

Deeper into the dense woodland valley, more of the natural wonders appear underlining the spectacular wilderness of Hacienda Pucheguin, filled with natural pools, waterfalls and 25 miles of riverbanks flanked by towering and imposing walls of bare granite. Lakes such as Lago Vidal Gormaz, offer almost 1,500 acres of crystalline waters, ideal for fishing and surrounded by soft meadows. Year after year, climbing enthusiasts from around the world travel to the surrounding mountains and the area known as La Junta in Cochamó, often touted as the Yosemite of South America, to test their skills on some of the best climbing walls on the planet.
