Whether you're exploring the Uruguay real estate market for a home you can move into full-time…a vacation retreat you can visit a few weeks or months a year…a beachfront lot you hope to resell at a profit…or your own slice of sand where you'll build your dream home…you can find it in Uruguay.
In 2005 there were more than 650,000 square meters approved for property development in Uruguay. It is estimated that half of these new properties were purchased by either European or American buyers who discovered the wonders of this country over the last few years and wished to take advantage of the low prices, numerous facilities, and beautiful coastline.

Coastal Uruguay: Latin America’s Best Quality of LifePosted on April 25, 2012 by Suzan Haskins
Sipping a cappuccino at a small table in a shady plaza outside my hotel, I’m reminded of days and evenings spent in similar sidewalk cafés in Europe. Stately 19th-century neo-classical and baroque-style buildings with wrought-iron balconies line the square. Curtains wave gaily through massive wood-framed windows.

Small Town Beach Life in UruguayPosted on November 28, 2011 by Lee Harrison
I moved to Uruguay full-time in 2006. And since then I’ve explored more than a dozen different countries, from Spain to Argentina. I’ve lived in Brazil, have a second home in Colombia, and bought property in Nicaragua. Yet Uruguay is where I call home; and I can’t think of a better place to be right now. The lifestyle is unbeatable, and the cost of living and of properties is reasonable.

The Best Beach Deal in the “Europe of South America”Posted on August 22, 2011 by Ronan McMahon
A deserted beach that feels remote…yet isn’t… A beach where, beyond the breaking waves, white foam caps skim along the deep blue ocean. On land, a steady breeze rustles through the dune grasses…white clouds drift by and flocks of birds swoosh down, fishing along the coast. That’s what you’ll found in Rocha, Uruguay.
The Last Great Property Deal in UruguayPosted on July 22, 2011 by Ronan McMahon
Punta del Este is the top destination in Uruguay. Rock stars and billionaire fashion moguls vacation there. Pop starlets keep a summer home to “snowbird” the North American winter.
Big $28,710 Lots in Uruguay’s Best Beach TownPosted on July 18, 2011 by Ronan McMahon
On June 17th I told you about the opportunity at La Serena Golf in the province of Rocha, Uruguay. This is a great deal from a strong developer.
Not far away (but closer to Punta del Este) lot prices range from $40-$135 per square meter. That’s $162,000 to over $500,000 for an acre lot. And, these prices include projects without golf or tennis. Projects with hardly any amenities, in fact.
At La Serena Golf you have both. Half-acre lot prices start at $31,900. As a RETA member you can avail of our member-only pricing and get a 10% discount. That gives you an entry point of $28,710.
Uruguay’s “Beach Province” For Less Than $60,000 an AcrePosted on June 18, 2011 by Ronan McMahon
In the Uruguayan Department of Rocha, waves crash from the blue sea onto the wide, white sands. Small, rolling dunes…like you would see on Nantucket (off Cape Cod) separate the beach from gently rolling hills.
The Best Way to Play Uruguay’s CoastPosted on June 17, 2011 by Ronan McMahon
If you want to tap into the next trend in Uruguay’s “beach province” for less than $60,000 an acre…this is it.

Colonial City Life in UruguayPosted on May 31, 2011 by Lee Harrison

Colonia, Uruguay: Where History Holds its ValuePosted on May 24, 2011 by Lee Harrison

Uruguay’s Magical Beach TownsPosted on May 5, 2011 by Margaret Summerfield
Uruguay is on a roll. Both the economy…and the real estate market. New condos in Punta del Este, the country’s premier beach resort, now average $3,000 a square meter (that’s $300,000 for a 1,000-square-foot condo). But travel a little farther along the coast east from Punta, and your property dollars will go much further.
Living it up in Montevideo, UruguayPosted on November 26, 2010 by Lee Harrison
It’s warm and sunny on the early morning streets of Uruguay’s capital, Montevideo. The caretakers in the park are hosing down the sidewalks…waiters are straightening tables and opening bright yellow umbrellas at the sidewalk café. The neighborhood bakeries are open for cappuccinos and pastries, and newsstands are handing out today’s paper…

In today’s Alert, I’m going to show you three ways to make money from farmland in an investor-friendly country.
The case for investing in agriculture and food is pretty straightforward. Increasing populations and wealth in emerging economies is the primary driver. As people in these economies become richer they eat more food—and more meat.
Now It’s Easy—How to Make Money in Global Real EstatePosted on October 21, 2010 by Ronan McMahon

Mayhem in MontevideoPosted on July 14, 2010 by Lee Harrison
It was fairly quiet at my apartment, which is unusual. I can usually hear Tango music drifting up from the square, the crowds chatting while waiting to enter the theater, or at least a bus going by. Today however, there was no traffic, and no one in the square.

A colonial home with 17 bedrooms and two courtyards for $85,000 in Uruguay’s heartlandPosted on August 8, 2008 by Lee Harrison
Colonial homes for less than $50,000…dinner out with wine for less than $25 dollars…low taxes, honest people, and safe, sycamore-lined streets. That’s what you’ll find when you leave the beaches and venture into Uruguay’s interior. Gone are the jet-set crowds, the highrises, and the hot investment property markets. But in their place you’ll find a wholesome lifestyle, low cost of living, and a side of Uruguay that’s a polar opposite to the famous seaside resorts.
