Dear visitor,

as real estate agent I offer rural estates in Uruguay

I have inserted the terms “masseria storica Puglia Sicily”. The idea was, if you searched with those search words, it might interest you what I offer.

I bought a historic estancia in Uruguay in 2004. In a way that is the southern South American version of a Masseria (or of a historic cortijo in Andalusia). Indeed we started out in Puglia, Italy in the mid 90’s searching for historic masserias for sale. The idea to own a romantic mediterranian stately estate, with wrought iron, patios, old wells etc was with us for many years.

In the end we bought in Uruguay since to us it was the best combination of european mediterranian culture (and architecture) and a more benign climate, wetter, greener, and a much better price/value of historic estates for sale.
Some things have changed since we bought in 2004, most notably the price of land, which multiplied.Also historic estates have become scarce. Still I couldn’t name a country with comparable characteristics and where foreigners can own farmland that is substantially cheaper. .
Other aspects have not changed much, agriculture and ranching are still much more viable in Uruguay then in southern Europe. The climate is pleasant, so are the people.

There is also a downside, flights between Uruguay and Europe are long and expensive, and Uruguay is not as culturally rich as the old world. The espresso tastes the same though, so does the uruguayan Parmesan cheese.
