Property: # 223

Size: 650 Hectares (1,605 acres).

Property Highlites: Borders a town, asphalt road to property, city water, electricity, telephone, irrigation canal (with water rights) borders property, newly fenced, mountain range on property, 200 Hectares (500 acres) cleared, suitable for farming and ranching, 2 large hotels within walking distance, deep canyon with spring, substantial development potential, spectacular views!

Location: The property is located adjacent to the small town of Luján, in the Province of San Luis. This Province is in the center of Argentina.

Distances: The property is 23 kilometers (about 14 miles) from the town of Quines, 120 kilometers (about 75 miles) from the Provincial Capitol city of San Luis, and 70 kilometers (about 45 miles) from Villa Dolores, a large town in the Province of Córdoba.

Terrain & Vegetation: The property has a range of mountains running along the entire southern end, with the base of the mountains gently sloping away to the north. In the center of the mountain range is found a deep canyon with a seasonal creek and springs. One occasionally finds archeological artifacts from the indigenous indians on the property, most commonly hand grinders. The canyon is long and supports a wide variety of plant and animal life, including condors, eagles, hawks, wild boar, mountain lions, rabbits and an incredible array of other birds. The property has open brush typical of the region, with numerous larger trees such as Algarrobo, Chañar, and Jarilla scattered throughout. Approximately 200 Hectares (about 500 acres) along the foot of the mountains at the northern end of the property have been recently cleared and wind rowed by bulldozers, exposing very high quality virgin soils that are rock free in most areas. The slope in the cleared area is approximately 2 percent, which is very suitable for irrigation. The clearing was done selectively, and many of the large trees were left standing to provide shade for cattle.

Land Use:Due to the good soils and new fencing found on this property, the land can be used in a variety of ways, including cattle operations, farming and tourism. The cleared areas can be sown with pasture grasses for a cattle operation and can be irrigated using the irrigation canal that runs adjacent to the property for most of its northern border. The use of irrigation opens possibilities for farming citrus, plums, peaches, pears, apples,olives, alfalfa, potatoes, soy and many other crops. The areas not cleared are also very suitable with only minor hand clearing for planting fig trees, a good cash crop that requires little oversight. The rest of the property, which encompasses a substantial amount of rolling gentle hills with excellent views, as well as the mountains and the canyon, can be exploited for tourism, a vacation home development, rental cabins or may simply be kept in reserve for future clearing. The existence of two large hotels within walking distance of the property adds significant strength to developing the tourism potential of the land.
