Get off the grid; get off the Gestapo's radar, live off of the land, have your own vineyard, produce all your own food, and live in South America's most popular expat haven. This house and property have it all. If you want to live a 'quality' back to nature lifestyle with the word 'survival' written into the recipe; then look no further this is the property you want; quite probably the one you've dreamed about.
A Romantic Place! This couple; he, a Dutch Dive Instructor from the Caribbean, she an Argentine artist from Buenos Aries, met on the Island of Aruba. They fell in love, married and moved to San Rafael, Argentina where they created this spectacular house, build up a very fine vineyard and raised their family. This farm is a work of love. The orchards have olive trees, plums, peaches, apricots, walnut, quince... There are so many fine details to this wonderful property that it would require a book to list them all. We said that he's Dutch, and he is, that being so, he had to have a windmill, so he built one... it feeds water into a large tank, the water is for what? Horses, the vegetable garden, of course... but what they actually use the tank for is a huge swimming pool. Okay, he can't scuba dive in the tank, but he can float on his back and look up at the stars at night with his friends - - an "asado” – -Argentine barbecue on the grill along with a bottle or ten of his own wine sitting on the railing. Life is good.
Organic Farming & Lifestyle - While the current owners have never registered this farm as an organic farm they maintain as close to organic standards as is possible for all of their own production. They produce 75% of their own food and the farm has been geared for self-sufficiency and independence. This is a perfect property to take off the grid by adding wind and solar power.
90,000 Kilo Grape Harvest Perfect Maintenance - It is too often the case that the vineyards on offer in San Rafael are poorly structured vineyards, planted years ago and planted poorly, and thereafter poorly maintained. Most vineyards on offer are vineyards that only a foolish foreigner would buy. Not so in this case. This 45 acre property features an especially finely maintained 25 acre vineyard. The owner of this property [shown below left] is the professional property manager for numerous other vineyards in the area; and this vineyard is his own work of love. The 25 acres now in vineyard features 12.5 acres of fine wine grapes comprised of: Bonarda (3.75 acres) - Syrah (3.75 acres) and 5 full acres of Argentina's world famous Malbec. In addition to these varieties there are another 12.5 acres in traditional Argentine grape varieties. Already producing a 90,000 Kilo Grape Harvest, this vineyard will soon reach full production and is projected to harvest 230,000 Kilos of grapes and over 100,000 Kilos of plums. Full production will be attained within 24 months. The photos tell the tale.
Boutique Wine - While most of the grape harvest is sold to a local bodega (winery) the owner carefully puts aside the most select grapes for the producing of his own very select boutique vintage from a selection of the finer grapes. This special vintage and its production is registered with wine institute.
What A House! This house [see photos] is a work of art! If you want a back to nature retreat, a self-sufficient safe-haven from the coming collapse of the United States; this is the property you want. At almost 3,000 square feet this two story six bedroom house is the sort of house that will change your life and make living your life a joy - San Rafael is an expat haven; and this house is the place where all the first expats in San Rafael gathered -
Six bedrooms (one of which is used as an office, another as an art studio,) three bathrooms, a lovely kitchen, pantry, breakfast nook, dining room, and a 400 square foot covered patio. There is an existing wine cellar not yet totally finished out. The property has a 700 square foot barn with a 15 foot high ceiling.

The owners make their own jams, canned fruit, tomato sauce, olives, wine and many other home products. The wine from their wine production has been registered at the wine institute.
This vineyard has all - Fine wine grapes, a spectacular house and numerous fruit trees both for the family kitchen and for production. Yes, in addition to the vineyard, the property has almost 3,000 plum trees, some of which are in production and some of which will soon be in production. Several large olive trees grace the property; to which the owners have added an additional 50 olive trees. A new fruit orchard has recently been added to expand on the size of the existing orchard; with more peaches, nectarines, pears, apples, plums, cherries, apricots and almonds as well as some blueberry plants. A line of membrillo (quinces) runs along the back side of the property and is in full production. Poplar trees run along the property borders, providing a protective wind break and also providing fire wood for the house and barbecue. The property has a tractor and all the tools required to maintain the farm.
