About this home

El Orégano Adobe Eco-Home Designed by Female Architects • Organic Architecture in a Mountain Setting An adobe home featuring organic architecture designed by female architects, seamlessly integrated into the native mountain landscape. Nestled among ancient trees and the constant sound of water flowing through irrigation ditches lies El Orégano, a green-building home conceived according to the principles of organic architecture and bioclimatic efficiency. Unlike many earthen structures built informally, this property is the result of a professional architectural project, where the ancestral technique of adobe is combined with contemporary criteria for design, thermal comfort, and functionality. Its architecture is characterized by curved walls and sinuous forms that avoid right angles and allow the house to appear as if it were emerging from the ground. This geometry, in addition to its aesthetic value, enhances the structural stability and thermal performance of the home. The floor plan is organized around a central hall that connects the spaces, creating fluid and well-lit pathways without long hallways. Layout Entrance hall Main living room with Tromen stove Open-concept kitchen and dining area Pantry Laundry room Guest bathroom 3 bedrooms Full bathroom Upper floor with study/art studio Green Building Features • Thick adobe walls • Excellent natural thermal inertia (cool in summer, warm in winter) • Bioclimatic design integrated into the surroundings • Different floor levels that follow the topography of the land Outdoor spaces Semi-covered porch Patio Perimeter walkway Green roof integrated into the landscape Fully fenced property Double-leaf wooden gate Mature native woodland A permanent irrigation ditch runs in front of the property, providing ambient coolness and the pleasant natural sounds characteristic of the mountain landscape.

Buying in Argentina as a foreigner

Yes, foreigners can buy property in Argentina.

The most important restrictions concern rural land, properties containing or bordering significant bodies of water and properties located within border security zones.

Near coasts and borders
Argentina does not have a coastal restricted zone equivalent to Mexico's. To preserve a common schema, this field groups areas subject to special rules: rural land, border security zones and certain properties involving significant permanent bodies of water.
Residency
Property ownership does not automatically grant residency. You must prove recurring income (Rentista Visa).
Taxes and closing costs
They depend on the state, the municipality and the property itself, so there is no single national figure. Ask the agent or our Concierge for an estimate on this home.
Financing
Financing for foreign buyers may be limited and depends on the lender, residency, documented income, financial history, currency, down payment and property type.

How buying works

  1. Obtain tax identification

    Obtain a CUIT or CDI as applicable and prepare passport, powers of attorney, translations and source-of-funds documentation.

  2. Legal due diligence

    Review title, ownership, seller restrictions, liens, debts, cadastral status, condominium rules and the seller's legal standing.

  3. Check special restrictions

    Determine whether the property is rural, located within a border security zone or contains or borders bodies of water subject to restrictions.

  4. Reservation, contract and deed

    Define price, currency, deposit, conditions and timelines; then execute the deed and register it.
