This farm is an rarity in Argentina - a working finca with a livable house.  Not only is the house livable, but it has been built to 1st world standards, to include having a tower installed for high-speed Internet, a laundry room, a huge bathroom and lots of closet space. 

The farm is located near General Alvear, a bustling agricultural town of 45,000 inhabitants, whose lives are connected in some form or fashion to Argentina's burgeoning fruit and wine industry.  The town is situated on the corridor between Buenos Aires (900 km away) and Mendoza (300 km).  There is construction underway on a road from General Alvear, across the Andes and into Chile, completing a direct route from one coast to the other.  A regional airport is also under construction which will offer service to Buenos Aires and Mendoza.

The farm is in a rural setting, 13 km outside of General Alvear and 5 km from the town of la Marzolina.  The area has many working family-farms as well as several large peach orchards and vineyards.  It is perfectly situated to grow any number of varieties of fruit and vines, not to mention livestock.  The area averages over 300 days of sunshine a year with very little rainfall.  Farming is accomplished by irrigation through a series of canals which supply snow-melt runoff from the Andes to the surrounding communities.   

There are 60,000 Malbec and Syrah vines planted on the farm which will be ready for resale to local vineyards the following spring.  The farm has a small lined irrigation pond which provides water for farm use full-time, in addition to the weekly irrigation water schedule.

There are approximately 100 producing fruit trees, apples, peaches, apricots, almonds, plums, pears, cherries and nectarines, which provide more then enough fruit for the family for the table and preserving, not to mention commercial value.  A vegetable garden is planted as well.  There's an electrified grid corralling the planting area to keep the hares from indulging.

If you have an adventurous spirit and a love of earth and sunshine, you belong on this patch of paradise.
