On Rocha’s Atlantic coast, less than an hour from José Ignacio and just minutes from La Paloma, lies one of Uruguay’s most unique stretches of land: 589 hectares at the exact point where Laguna de Rocha meets the Atlantic Ocean.
The property features more than 5 kilometers of shoreline along the lagoon and 350 meters of direct ocean frontage—a combination that is virtually impossible to find today on Uruguay’s coast. From its rolling hills, reaching heights of 42 meters, panoramic views extend simultaneously over the lagoon, the surrounding countryside, and the sea.
The entire property lies within the Laguna de Rocha Protected Landscape, part of Uruguay’s National System of Protected Areas. The area is internationally recognized as a Ramsar site—a wetland of global importance—and as a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. This protection ensures that the surroundings remain preserved over time: free from mass urbanization, with open landscapes and untouched nature.
Four ecosystems coexist within its boundaries: elevated grasslands, wetlands of ceibo trees and rushes, a natural stream, and a coastal dune belt. It is home to flamingos, black-necked swans, migratory birds arriving from North America and Patagonia, and species unique to the region. The area also contains archaeological evidence of human occupation dating back more than 4,500 years.
An exceptional opportunity for a development project with its own distinct identity, or for anyone seeking a uniquely expansive refuge in one of the last untouched corners of South America’s Atlantic coast.
