Panguipulli, Chile “The Lakes District” List Price: CLP$ 150,000,000 Type: Residence Style: Chilean Country House Living Area: 3,210 ft2, (300 m2) Lot Size: 2.9 ha or 7.2 acres Year Built: 2000 Beds/Bath: 6 Beds / 3 Baths, Swimming Pool Maid’s Quarters The sounds of birds and a sweet country house nestled between two large farms with no signs of neighbors. Located back off the road in a thinly populated rural area yet still just 15 minutes to the village center exists this great property to enjoy the quiet life. An open pasture with a large sunny spot to grow your own vegetables and acres of sweet green grass to raise a few heads of livestock on. Why not be self-sufficient, after all this is farming country. An easy rambling house that can be filled with a large family or the guests of your very own bed and breakfast. Go out through the French doors onto the patio and enjoy a hearty Chilean wine. Breathe in the cool clear mountain air, and then watch the sun set. As night falls go back inside and soak up the warm heat from your oversized woodstove enhanced with a large stone surround. Watch the flames flicker as you sit in the roomy living space. Look up at the cathedral ceiling and through the architectural windows and see the lovely view of the distant mountain range. A hearty people and pristine environment surround you so what better way to enjoy your retirement. A good property to invest in, as one day this country song bird might just hatch a swan. Because on the further side beyond the rows of neighboring eucalyptus trees (soon to be fully mature and ready for harvest) lies an incredibly pretty but hidden lake view. And as in the children’s fable Snow White, this beauty lies sleeping and dormant but not really gone. Only just waiting to be awoken from her slumber; and so too is this property. To revive that lost view the next owner must be willing to work with us to negotiate with an agreeable neighbor to speed up the timetable to harvest their almost mature tree farm. Or alternately buy her out. Either way still a nice home to enjoy your privacy or a special property to make your own future fairy tale come true. www.SouthernChileProperties.com www.internationallifestylemagazine.com [email protected]
