Protected: Tranquil Escape within Gated Community

Location

Have your own private parcel with spectacular views of Volcan Villarrica and Lago Panguipulli, all from within a gated community of mostly English-speaking individuals, “El Fundo Sombrero”. This property is in an ideal setting for a couple wanting to live away from large cities, while also having easy access to amenities when needed, being located in the coveted Los Rios region in Southern Chile. Situated roughly 2 hours from 3 major cities (with airports and regular flights to/from Santiago International Airport), yet only 30 minutes from the sizable town of Panguipulli which provides all of your necessary amenities, groceries, services, restaurants and more.

Access

The property is accessed via paved and dirt roads (public and private) that are generally maintained. The surrounding area is home to dozens of nature parks, lakes, beaches, world-renowned fishing rivers, and much more.

Terrain

A large parcel of 96* acres, situated on the eastern face of the mountain range, the property is mostly native forest, ideal for enjoying via horseback or hikes.The views from the lakes, mountains, forests and ever-changing active volcano from the upper areas of the property have a magical essence to restore the  soul. The property slopes down to nearly one mile of pristine riverfront on Rio Manio.  Several usable flat areas for building or to graze horses or plant small crops.

Utilities

The parcel has underground electrical lines running to the cabin and quincho, and could be extended to other structures as needed. The running water is gravity-fed, sourced from a natural spring higher on the mountain. The gas-stove and tankless hot water heater use propane tanks, located outside in a well-built metal enclosure. The primary source of heat is a wood-burning stove, which easily heats the entire house.

Structures

The property has two finished structures, a main cabin (with an attached, enclosed garage) and a large covered ‘quincho’ for relaxing, eating outdoor-style, or hosting a great get-together.   With tiled entrance patio to the cabin and a designated walkway to the quincho, the main cabin is 330 ft2 and the quincho is 300 ft2 (approximately 31 m2 and 28 m2, respectively). The cabin comes fully furnished, move-in ready, and sold as-is. The cabin has 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom, a full kitchenette, and a comfortable living area surrounded by large windows providing ample natural light and making the intimate setting feel spacious, while also providing gorgeous views of the surrounding landscape.  Both structures face Northeast, capitalizing on the spectacular views of sunrises, Volcan Villarrica, and the pristine Lago Panguipulli.

Additional Information

The all inclusive features of 24/7 Security, a private nature preserve, a private, clubhouse for owners, a friendly community, spectacular volcano views, readily available maintenance help, high speed internet,  riverfront access, and abundant clean water are not usually  found in other properties.

The private, gated community (‘condominium’ in Chile) has 24-hour security at the gate and a co-owner regulation that supports mutually respectful and supportive co-existence with the fellow parcel owners, all with a strong commitment to caring for nature. The entire ranch of roughly 1200 hectares is divided into ~20 private parcels, with a private, protected nature preserve of 750 hectares, accessible only to the homeowners. The community is managed by the owners association, and there is a manager and small staff to help with any work necessary to maintain the preserve, the roads or individual-owner needs. There is a beautifully restored clubhouse for guests or occasional events which has 5 guest rooms, a kitchen and a small bar to receive visitors or friends (it is only available for the homeowners association, not for public use). The pristine nature preserve has an abundance of rivers and trails running throughout that are ideal for walking, hiking or horseback riding.

Due to the specific location of this property in relation to another owner’s property, slight restrictions do exist as to the location of additional buildings, should one want to build. Despite that, there is ample room to expand the existing house within the limitations of the restrictions, and maximize your magnificent view!  Plans for a house are included.
