Set on an impressive 42-hectare estate in the heart of southern Chile, this exceptional property combines privacy, natural beauty, and the timeless character of traditional German-Chilean colonial architecture.
Surrounded by beautifully landscaped, park-like gardens with mature trees, ornamental plantings, and expansive lawns, the residence offers a peaceful and elegant setting. The spacious two-story home features generous living areas designed for comfortable family living, entertaining, or hospitality use.
The ground floor comprises two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a formal dining room, two welcoming living rooms, and a spacious kitchen with direct access to a large covered terrace, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living. A solid hardwood staircase leads to the upper level, where three additional bedrooms and two further bathrooms provide ample accommodation for family and guests. A particular highlight is the oversized bathroom featuring a classic claw-foot bathtub with relaxing views over the gardens.
Throughout the home, traditional German-Chilean colonial details, including elegant colonial grid windows and quality timber craftsmanship, create a warm and inviting atmosphere filled with natural light.
The gardens offer a large swimming pool in a short walking distance to the house.
To the left of the property, you will find the caretaker’s house, a workshop and hay storage. On this part of the land, around 100 old apple trees of different varieties still provide a rich harvest. The current owner produces apple cider vinegar in big, wooden barrels, which are stored in the cellar underneath the main house. At present more apple trees are being planted. Additionally, two green houses produce different kinds of vegetables, apart from a large potato field.
Going up the hill you encounter a large, partially covered area that is used as a plant nursery. At this point the first seven hectares are fenced off the remaining 35 hectares.
A well maintained path that can easily be accessed with a 4-wheel-drive vehicle, leads up the hill. Just the last 5 hectares are only accessible on foot. Here, we are 100 meters above the house.
A year-round freshwater stream runs from the top to the bottom of the property, providing a reliable water source for irrigating gardens, fruit trees, vegetable plots, and greenhouses. In addition, the property benefits from its own private well. Part of the water supply is pumped to two elevated storage tanks, creating a gravity-fed reserve system. This allows water to remain available even during power outages or other emergencies, providing an additional level of independence and security.
Opposite the house to the other side of the road you have access to the river Menetúe.

This property is a precious example of the so-called German-Chilean colonial style houses which were built by German immigrants during the 19th and early 20th century.
Offering extensive acreage, a meticulously maintained setting, and a wealth of possibilities combined with the old world’s charm, a property of this caliber is an absolute rarity in one of Southern Chile’s most desirable regions.
