We offer this little town 32 Km from downtown Montevideo on the road to Punta del Este and also 17Has on the Interbalnearia highway, halfway between Montevideo and Punta del Este, only 900m from the beach. The little town is l
ocated in the rural residential area of the town of Pando (which lies on Highway 8 to Punta del Este and Brazil) along the charming river Pando reservoir, it lies 11Km from the airport; 15km from Carrasco (foreigners’ neighborhood), 12 from the lovely beaches of El Pinar and Atlantida and 32 from downtown Montevideo, in all cases free of toll. Note: We are also selling a prime piece of land 170.000m2 on the Interbalnearia Highway to Punta del Este halfway from Montevideo to P del E. You can see photos and description at the site indicated in the last photograph. Description This 200000 square meters property has constructions and facilities that would cost well over 1.5 million if they were to be built today. These comprise 2800m2 of double brick wall constructions 1000m2 of which have 20cm-thick concrete roofs. There’s an un-finished 6-storey building with a 50000L water tank and a sturdy 900m2 warehouse. If you acquire the 29Has lot across the river your property would lie right along alternate highway 8 which connects the towns of Pando and Olmos, both on Highway 8 proper. This charming property develops around an 1894 farmhouse which formerly belonged to a 600Has estancia. It's surrounded by a 120-year-old park and around 12 buildings of recent construction. Its charm is due to the fact that it lies on the river Pando with a small harbour complete with pier and a hoist next to the river and has the highest ground in the neighborhood with a commanding view over the forests across the river and onto the Artigas Municipal Park beyond. It ha 500m along the road to Olmos with wire netting all around. It is separated from the town by two heavily wooded farms owned by Germans. It has 400m along the river (which is actually a 15-km long reservoir) bordered by poplars araucarias and eucalypts some of them over 50m high in parts with 10m-high embankments. This river is unpolluted because the site is upstream from the town and there are no towns or factories further up: in fact the town's water facility is 300m downstream. The river is never over 1.5m deep with sand or stone never mud. It can be sailed for 20Km all the way to the beautiful beaches through uninhabited forested lowlands (there is only one house) so to all effects and purposes the river is part of the property. Ours is the first high ground to be found. Another special feature are its 5000m2 natural swimming pools complete with jetty and jumping board composed of two 6m-deep lagoons which were carved out of solid rock all the way to the spring: a 25.000m3 reservoir of pure potable water ideal for a spa; they have special purifying algae which keep the ecosystem humming. A shute from the tower 25m above is a must. There is another swimming pool which is 24m-long by 5m wide and 3m deep at the entrance and another smaller swimming pool next to the riverside house. There are 3000m2 of constructions: * old 1894 farmhouse with 600m2 in two levels in good condition structurally but in need of refinement; it has 8 rooms, a wide veranda, two bathrooms 3 fireplaces a large 8m x 20m hall and a 4m x 25m attic; own rainwater water and sewage system; ancient park. * another old house surrounded by porch: dining-room with fireplace and kitchen with barbecue; * 300m2 house (17m x 18m) with 20cm concrete roof with waterproof aluminum membrane; double brick walls with air chamber; formerly offices and showers: good condition but needs adapting to new owner’s needs; would provide two apartments and two large bedrooms in addition to 6 x 17m living room with fireplace; two kitchens; * 5 similar concrete-roof houses with double brick walls (100m2, 80m2, 60m2, 160m2 and 50m2); two of them complete and currently in use; the 100m2 house has an underground fuel depot which could be turned into an indoor spa or swimming pool. * the 6-storey building, 80m2 per floor, 20m high, with foundations fit for another 3 floors; strong concrete shafts; double brick walls; 50m3 water tank (expandable to 200m3); needs finishing; extraordinary view over the city all the way to the ocean; * 900m2 warehouse with 20cm concrete floor fit for heavy machinery; double brick walls with concrete shafts; sturdy hardwood beams; mechanic's pit; deep 3 x 17m well; (note that any of the former would cost 150000 dollars to replace);  * 26 super-foundations fit for a 10-storey building without internal columns, on a 4000m2 base (33m x 133m ): what you see in the photo is only the “tip of the iceberg” as these columns expand 5m underground into huge foundation bases measuring 7.5m x 5m x 2m each ; they weigh 500tons each and just the reinforced concrete would cost 650000' dollars if they were built today; if the new owner finds no use for them they can easily be camouflaged into Maya-type  ruins or Stonehenge-looking monoliths; There is electricity phone and running water in 5 houses by underground ducts. There is a 30Kv power line along the front with two transformers which provide 3-phase power. There are various wells; a large underground silo; a 100m-long tunnel which leads to the lagoons The land (only 15Has are ploughable) is fit for any kind of crop but particularly fruit trees and our neighbors grow all kinds of vegetables; it has a productivity index of 140 (the average is 100). Possible Uses. Development: due to the proximity of the town and to the fact that the terminal of the main bus line to Montevideo is only 300m away and all services are available on site, this property is ideal for urban development; a subdivision into 5000m2 lots requires no additional infrastructure. Institutions: it’s ideal for all sorts of businesses: health club, elderly home, boarding school; sports center; summer camp; religious center, spa... The private entrance through the forests across the river, directly from Highway 8 would be picture-perfect. Ranch: we currently have a dairy farm with 24 cows but the land is fit for fruit and vegetables and it would be ideal for horse breeding (more neighbouring land is available);  Large factory or Industrial Park: all the pre-requisites for a factory or industrial park are either on site or along its limits: power, water, manpower, bus-line, railway, natural gas and optic fiber line. The huge foundations are also fit a 120-ton traveling crane. We would consider a trade for a property in Europe, a partial sale or a rental. The 29Has across the river, (which do not belong to me) were selling for 100000 last time I asked.  We have other properties for sales which you can see in the Flickr site we show on our photos. For instance we have 17Has along the interbalnearia highway halfway between Montevideo and Punta del Este. It has ancient forrests and stream which invites the construction of an artificial lake. It is also a sand quarry. It´s right in front of the Balneario Santa Lucia del Este, only 9 blocks away from the most beautiful beaches. There´s a Wi-Fi tower right in front of the property. The price is only 1U$/m2 and we challenge you to find a similar property for less than 2U$/m2! There is the possibility of selling half the property
