Alternative Venta Cortijo Andalucia

Below some reflections on an alternative to a

grand estate, historic Hacienda, Cortijo Historico Antiguo in Andalucia / Spain ( vende venta inmuebles Andalucia )
A Gentleman Farmer's lifestyle and an agriculture investment combined

Dear visitor,

I am a real estate agent offering rural estates in Uruguay, including the odd historic Estancia.
I have deliberately inserted terms like "historic cortijo andalucia" etc because I thought if that interests you, a true estancia might interest you as well. Please view our current listings here farmland for sale Uruguay.

An Estancia in Uruguay could be an alternative for you if the following aspects attract you :

- owning land that has real agricultural potential (as opposed to southern Europe where agriculture is hardly viable once subsedies stop)
- temperate climate, not tropical, but with distinct seasons, reverse to the northern hemisphere. Roughly a mediterranian climate with more summer rain.
- Rural estates with stately mediterranian, late 1800s, architecture (patio with well/cistern, wrough iron, high ceilings), elements you would expect from a historic cortijo in Andalucia. One needs patience to find one in Uruguay though.
- a horse and cattle culture

I am myself very much an aficionado of all this. That Estancia San Eugenio we bougt in 2004.
