Two weeks ago I posted a lot facing Lanín for US$22,000. This one sits on the shore of Lago Huechulafquen itself, for US$88,000.
868 m²
Steps from where the Chimehuín river starts
Papers in order, ready to deed
No services mentioned in the listing
Hey @grok, an American wants to retire in Argentina with US$200,000 for a house and a US$2,500 monthly pension. Pick 5 towns where that works and give the catch in each, one sentence per town.
US$180,000 for 11 hectares on the Río Uruguay near San Javier, Misiones, with Brazil on the other bank.
400 metres of riverfront on a 9-metre bluff
Tall eucalyptus on 3 hectares
It's 22 km from town. The listing pitches it as a 210-lot subdivision, already approved.
Two homes in Argentina on US$600k.
Summer is Llao Llao, Bariloche, where US$265k buys a three-bedroom house with a deck over Lake Nahuel Huapi. In June it's Maipú, Mendoza, where US$195k buys a house with a pool and a vine-covered pergola, and US$140k stays in the bank.
When AI makes most things cheap, I think money flows to what can't be copied. Land, water, a view, a quiet valley.
People with means will want somewhere to go.
Argentina has plenty of that, still priced like a country nobody trusts.
Six units needing work in Alberdi, Córdoba, asking US$150,000, and I offered US$23,000 down with the rest in payments.
No deal. The owner is buying another place and needed a bigger first payment for the deposit on it. The listing came down a few days later.
Almost a hectare of orchard 3 km from El Bolsón, US$210,000. A stream runs through it.
A two-bedroom house
More than 60 fruit trees, walnuts, apples and cherries
Power, mains gas and water
The house is small, 94 m². It's 11 years old.
Almost nobody here buys with a mortgage, so some sellers become the bank.
The Esquel house posted this month offers up to 72 months. A lot near Villa La Angostura takes US$8,000 down and 24 payments of US$500.
It's worth asking on any listing. Many say cash only, not all.
US$600,000 in Villa General Belgrano for a brick house in a park of old trees, with stables for four horses.
Pool and a quincho with a clay oven
Caretaker's house
Radiators fed by a bottled gas tank
The listing's text says 2 hectares and its spec sheet says 2,000 m².
US$750,000 at Las Pendientes, San Martín de los Andes, for a timber house the listing says looks at Lago Lácar and the Lanín volcano.
3,000 m² of land
400 m² built
Five bedrooms
Wood fireplace and a wraparound deck
It's sold as ski-in, ski-out.
No mains gas.
Is a lake house in Argentina a one-off? Not from what I've posted this month.
Nahuel Huapi, Correntoso, Huechulafquen, Pellegrini and the lakes around Villa Pehuenia, from US$22,000 for a lot to US$1.2 million for a house. The cheap ones usually come without services.
Three hectares at 1,900 metres in La Carrera, Tupungato, facing the snow on the Cordón del Plata, for US$100,000.
Water piped to every parcel
Ready to deed
50 minutes from Mendoza city
It's residential only, so no vines or orchard. Access is a right of way through an estancia.
US$370,000 in the middle of Tilcara, on a cobbled street a few minutes' walk from the plaza.
About 270 m² built, plus patios and galleries
Four bedrooms
Views of the Huichaira hills
Mains gas, sewer and fibre are in. The text says 737 m² of land. The spec table says 380.
An off-grid house above the Pipo valley outside Ushuaia, looking across to the End of the World train. Asking US$320,000.
Two bedrooms and a study, 112 m²
A 360° covered gallery
Wood stoves
No grid power. Generators run it, and the roof collects rain and snowmelt for water.
US$360,000 in Mar de las Pampas buys a stone and glass house in the pines, 200 metres from the beach.
Four bedrooms
Wood stove and a jacuzzi
Parking for three cars
675 m² lot, built 14 years ago
A US$300k retirement in Argentina, in two houses.
Summers go to Lago Meliquina, near San Martín de los Andes. US$110k buys a wooden house there under the Andes.
For the dry winter, US$89k gets a new house in El Mollar, Tucumán, with glass walls on the hills.
US$101k left.
If robots can build a house cheaply, the scarce part of a home becomes the land under it.
A machine crew can put up walls anywhere. It can't make another lakefront in Patagonia or another hectare facing the Andes.
That's my case for Argentine land in an AI economy.
Two duplexes, two apartments and three shops near Plaza Argüello, Córdoba, asking US$549,000.
I offered US$82,000 down, monthly payments to the owner for ten years and a final payment at the end. The broker replied the same day.
Want in on something like this? DM me.
US$160,000 for a casona on 1.3 hectares outside Nogoyá, Entre Ríos. It's 76 years old.
Five bedrooms, two of them en suite
Wood fireplace and a stone staircase
Pool, gallery and a parrilla
9 minutes from town, 2 from Ruta 12
At that age I'd budget for work before moving in.
Good read if you're saving to buy in Argentina. An expensive country can still be the quickest place to build the cash, as here most homes are paid in cash.

Where to make money and come back home able to start your business or start compounding by investing.
Yes, the US and Switzerland are "expensive" in terms of cost of life but many underestimate how much money you can sill make and set aside.
In many other places simply you can't set aside and you never start investing.
