Route 1 - Valdense Colony

About this home

Magnificent property located on Route 1, 60 km from Colonia del Sacramento and 120 km from Montevideo. It consists of a living room, an office, a dining room with a wood-burning stove, a kitchen with a granite countertop, 3 bedrooms (1 en suite), and another full bathroom. It also features a porch, a barbecue area, layota stone floors, and a fenced perimeter for added security. The front has a wrought-iron fence, a driveway with an electric gate, and a spacious garage. Double-brick exterior walls, tile roofs, wooden ceilings, and wooden window frames with shutters on all windows. The house is in impeccable condition. Area Features Location: Located in the eastern part of the Colonia department, about 120 kilometers west of Montevideo, 60 km from Colonia del Sacramento, and 18 km from the Río de la Plata. The town was founded by settlers, mostly Swiss, but also German, Austrian, and French. In this region, we find the city of Nueva Helvecia, Colonia Valdense, Rosario, and the entire extensive stretch of beach resorts. It is a thriving area of agricultural and livestock development, with the dairy industry as its hallmark. The economy is based on agriculture, livestock, and cheese production. It is a community of hardworking, determined people who uphold the traditions of the first immigrants. The area features very clean and green surroundings; the only thing missing are the mountains to make it resemble a corner of Switzerland. It is also characterized by the slow pace of life typical of any inland city, and by the Swiss symbols and references visible in homes, plazas, parks, schools, movie theaters, museums, churches, and cemeteries. It is striking that in the early twentieth century, Uruguay was known as the “Switzerland of the Americas” due to its economic prosperity and social development, as well as its banking system. The cleanliness, order, and respect for the environment immediately transport visitors in their minds to some part of the “little European gem.” Throughout the region, there is a constant sense of security, tranquility, and freedom, which makes it unique and sought after by people from all over the world who wish to live their lives this way. WE HAVE THE MOST IMPORTANT AND HARDEST THING TO OBTAIN: THE HUMAN FACTOR.
