Property Description
This is a completely remodeled 2-bedroom, 1-bath house with new addition on a 6 Hectares (15 acres) finca. This property is situated 13 kms. from the center of General Alvear, a clean and modern agricultural town of 45,000. General Alvear is south of San Rafael on the route to Buenos Aires. Most of the overnight buses to the capital stop there. The property is 200 meters by 300 meters, located at Calle 10 and Calle P 700. There is a well maintained asphalt road from town, with the final 700 meters of road being gravel. The farm has about 1 hectare of Damascos (apricots) approximately 10 years old. While apricots are not normally a good cash crop, they brought 65 centavos this year, and were well worth the harvesting. Various manzana (apple), alamos (poplar) and duraznos (peaches) dot the canals and fields. The earth is of very high quality, which is not always the case - soil quality fluctuates widely from area to area. This is borne out by Aldo's fully producing peach and plum farm across the street. There was a vineyard planted on my finca which did extremely well, so the locals tell me, but it got old and quit producing. The old vineyard has been removed and is ready for planting a new one! The land is irrigated by runoff from the Andes through a series of canals. Every 8 days the water flows through the canals and gates to the farm. The water flow is extraordinarily high and only lasts for 4 hours and 10 minutes, cutting down on irrigation time. The house originally was a 4 room brick farm house. The old stucco was completely removed, inside and out, and replaced fresh. The floors were re-cemented as required, new ceramic tile throughout, and the plumbing and electricity completely redone. All new fixtures, doors, windows . . . everything! The roof had been recently replaced with a tin roof. The house has heating an an A/C unit. The new addition has one very large master bedroom and a modern bathroom. The bedroom had two huge built in closets. The bathroom has a tub, shower, toilet, bidet, sink. There is a laundry room with a washing machine and a 120 liter hot water tank. The house is freshly painted inside and outside. Two propane tanks convey with the house. A wood-burning stove supplies heat, a ceramic-tiled covered gallery (porch) runs the length of the house, and a ceramic-tiled walkway circles the house. The house can come furnished, subject to negotiation. A 2 room brick galpon (shed) has electricity and a new roof. One room is for storage and the other a wood working shop. There is a well, and water is pumped from the ground to an overhead, 1,000 liter tank. The house has a security system. NOTE: PHOTOS DO NOT SHOW A NEW GALLERY WHICH HAS BEEN BUILT COMPLETELY SURROUNDING THE HOUSE.
Asking: US$96,000
