Isla de Lobos

For Sale: Estancia Isla de Lobos – Private Island Estate in Western Uruguay

Isla de Lobos is the rare opportunity to own a 1,250-hectare (3,088-acre) private island located at the scenic confluence of the Río Negro and the Río Uruguay. With 16 kilometers of waterfront, white sand beaches, and a unique mix of natural beauty and farming potential, this island is ideal for those seeking privacy, nature conservation, and investment opportunity.

The property is perfectly suited for sustainable cattle ranching (supporting up to 600 head), horse breeding (currently home to 65 horses) and organic beekeeping. It also offers unmatched potential for eco-tourism, outdoor recreation, and even future real estate development – such as waterfront plots integrated into a protected natural reserve.

Isla de Lobos offers total seclusion without sacrificing comfort. The main house features a spacious terrace with panoramic river views, a large open living-dining room with a fireplace, a semi-open kitchen with bar, and three bedrooms, two with en-suite bathrooms. The old gaucho house on the property is ready for refurbishment.

This island estate offers a rich array of activities: horseback riding, swimming, watersports, fishing, birdwatching, and hunting – all within your own private sanctuary. And every evening ends with sweeping, uninterrupted sunsets.
