Property: # 229

Area: 212 Acres (86 Hectares)

Property Details: This property is a functioning business which includes a restaurant, rental rooms for overnight guests and a very nice pool. The property has one of the best views of the mountains in the whole valley and has a large amount of unspoiled natural terrain that is popular with tourists for hiking and enjoying the many scenic overlooks. There is a substantial amount of day tourism and restaurant business done during the traditional summer holiday months. The property is well situated, being only 1.8 miles (3 km) from the town of Villa Cura Brochero and 3.6 miles (6 km) from the town of Mina Clavero. This property has a substantial amount of development potential.

Location: The property is located in the Province of Córdoba, in the center of the country, approximately 2 hours by car west of the city of Córdoba and the international airport there. The closest towns are Villa Cura Brochero and Mina Clavero, which are 1.8 miles (3 km) and 3.6 miles (6 km) away respectively.

Improvements:
· Main house: 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a traditional style country kitchen.
· Cabin: 2 bedrooms and basic infrastructure with private bath used for rentals.
· Rental Rooms: 3 rental rooms, each with private bathrooms and porches with breath taking views of the mountains.
· Swimming Pool: A very nice pool with great views measuring 46 ft. (14 m) by 20 ft (6 m) by 6.5 ft (2 m) deep. This pool is filled by a series of pipes that deliver cool spring water directly from the springs.
· Museum: A new 2,000 square foot brick building (180 sq. meters) that is currently used as a museum. This building can be used for a wide variety of purposes by the new owners.
· Storage Buildings: There is a 550 square foot (50 sq. meters) storage building and two smaller buildings used for both storage and as workshops for the current owner’s hobbies.
· Public Bathrooms: Men’s and ladies bathroom facilities used by day tourists and swimmers for changing clothes etc.
· Restaurant: 550 square foot (50 sq. meters) country restaurant that draws a consistent crowd on weekends. This is a well known establishment with outdoor tables under the huge trees provide for overflow capacity on busy weekends.
· Fencing: The property is completely fenced.
· Hiking Trails: A network of trails on the property provide ample hiking opportunities into the low mountains towards the back of the property. These are popular with tourists and provide many great views of the mountains and the valley.
· Antique House: A 4 bedroom house is located near the main house that is over 100 years old. This house would need to be modernized and renovated to be put into service as another rental unit.

Terrain & Vegetation: The property has 2 very distinct areas, with the western section being primarily low mountains covered in the lush natural vegetation, and the eastern section being approximately 75 acres (30 hectares) of gently sloping, mostly cleared land (40% trees) suitable for farming. The permanent natural springs on the property are found at the juncture of these two areas near the house and feed into a stream with small water falls that traverses the property laterally before sinking into the sands. A high peak near the buildings has a well marked hiking trail to the top that provides exceptional views of the entire valley and the mountain range (about a 220 degree view). This viewing spot is only about a 15 minute walk from the pool and is extremely popular with tourists and locals alike. The property also has many fig and nut trees that produce quite heavily every year and jam made from the figs is very much sought after by regular clients.

Development Potential: This property has unique development potential in many directions. The 74 acres that is mostly cleared has good soil for farming and underground water only 30 feet below the surface, but is also an excellent candidate for subdividing into smaller lots. At the going rate, this land alone would repay most of the purchase price of the entire property if sold off in one or two hectare parcels. The existing business can be easily expanded by adding more rental rooms and by expanding the restaurant into the 2000 square foot building currently used as a museum. Additionally, the upper part of the property would lend itself very well to the creation of a mountain biking park, a sport growing rapidly in Argentina.

Price: $130,000 US Dollars ($613 per hectare)
