A Haven of Design and Nature on the Paraná Miní Nestled in the heart of the San Fernando Delta, surrounded by canals, native vegetation, and wildlife, lies this exceptional 60-hectare property, conceived as a contemporary retreat in the heart of nature. Situated on the Paraná Miní River, with approximately 310 meters of north-facing riverfront, it combines architecture, technology, comfort, and sustainability in a setting of absolute privacy, with no neighbors in sight. Access is exclusively by water, from San Fernando, in approximately one hour by boat. The property consists of five lots and features a designer main residence, a second detached home for guests or staff, spacious docks, landscaped areas, and a vast expanse of virtually untouched natural landscape. Award-Winning Architecture The main residence was designed by MAPA Arquitectos (Argentina–Uruguay) according to principles of passive architecture and sustainability. The home received the 2022 Social Habitat and Sustainability Award and, according to the information provided, is Passivhaus certified. Its elevated design responds naturally to the conditions of the Delta and allows the structure to adapt to the river’s fluctuations, while optimizing orientation, cross-ventilation, sunlight exposure, and thermal efficiency. The house faces primarily north, taking advantage of natural light during the winter and reducing direct sunlight during the warmer months.

The architecture and landscape of this property were designed precisely with this in mind. 60 hectares of nature The land consists of five lots totaling approximately 60 hectares, with about 310 meters of shoreline along the Paraná Miní River. The surroundings combine landscaped areas with large expanses of native vegetation, canals, and natural scenery. The landscaping was designed and executed by Clara Billoch. It also features approximately 30 fruit-bearing trees, primarily citrus. Species native to the Delta’s ecosystem can be observed in the area, including marsh deer, overo lizards, and wild turkeys. The scale of the property allows for the consideration of various complementary projects, such as: - Nature lodge - Private retreat - Ecotourism project - Wellness-oriented development - Inland lagoon - Heliport, subject to the necessary authorizations - New constructions compatible with the environment and applicable regulations A property that is hard to replicate This is not simply a house in the Delta. It is a combination of 60 hectares of natural landscape, a residence with acclaimed architecture, high-tech infrastructure, energy self-sufficiency, direct access to the Paraná Miní River, and absolute privacy. A property designed equally as a permanent residence or private retreat, as well as for those seeking to develop a hospitality, nature, or wellness project of exceptional character.
