The Last Frontier

A Market in Its Infancy

While global property markets mature, Chilean Patagonia remains in its earliest phase. Land values have appreciated over 2,200% since 2000, yet prices remain a fraction of comparable destinations. New infrastructure, including expanded air routes and the Carretera Austral highway, continues to accelerate access. This is Aspen in the 1960s—the floor is still being built.

World-Class Natural Assets

Rio Puelo is a world-renowned fly fishing destination with over 90km of pristine fishable water and Chinook salmon runs averaging 8–20kg. The surrounding Valdivian temperate rainforest hosts UNESCO-level biodiversity. Water quality rates among the purest on Earth—glacial, untouched, and regulated.

Foreign Buyer Friendly

Chile is an OECD member with no restrictions on foreign land ownership. Buyers receive full freehold title (dominio pleno), registered in Chile's transparent Conservador de Bienes Raíces. The purchase process takes 4–8 weeks with a straightforward legal framework.

What Our Clients Say

“

Marc made what seemed impossibly complex feel straightforward. From our first call to holding the deed, he was responsive, transparent, and clearly passionate about the region. We couldn't have done this without boots on the ground.

“

I'd looked at land in New Zealand and Costa Rica before discovering Puelo. The value here is extraordinary, and having someone who actually lives in the valley guiding the process was the deciding factor.
