The property covers a total area of 1,046 hectares and is located in the department of Cerro Largo. According to the CONEAT soil classification, most of the land consists of medium‑productivity soils with moderate agricultural suitability, complemented by lower, wetter areas used for livestock, and a smaller portion of soils suitable for rice cultivation.
The most prevalent soils belong to group 4.1, which represent a significant share of the property. These soils are described as gently rolling hills, mainly used for livestock but with some agricultural potential (“The current use is primarily pastoral, for cattle breeding and rearing, and to a lesser extent agricultural.”). Group 2.20 also appears, consisting of more undulating hills used for grazing (“The use is pastoral, and the vegetation consists of summer prairie grasses.”).
Part of the property corresponds to group 3.52, which is naturally suitable for rice production (“The current use is mainly rice cultivation and livestock.”). The remaining area consists of soils from groups 3.14 and 3.31, which are low, humid zones used for livestock (“Practically no use or partially pastoral.” / “Low plains… poorly drained… pastoral use.”).
In practical terms, the property can be divided as follows:
Agricultural/rice area: around 60% of the total surface.Includes soils 4.1 (moderate agriculture) and 3.52 (rice).
Livestock area: around 40% of the total surface.Includes soils 2.20, 3.14, and 3.31.
This makes it a mixed-use property, with a balanced combination of agriculture, rice production, and livestock. It is neither purely agricultural nor exclusively livestock-based; instead, it offers diversified and stable productive potential.
Agricultural rents for these soils typically range between USD 200 and 260 per hectare per year, while rice‑suitable soils rent for USD 350 to 420 per hectare. Livestock areas generate between USD 70 and 150 per hectare, depending on management. Overall, the estimated average rent is around USD 205 per hectare per year.
With an asking price of USD 4,500 per hectare, the annual return is approximately 4.5%, which is consistent with mixed‑use properties in this region and with this soil composition.
In summary, this is a large, diverse, and well‑balanced property, with a good proportion of soils suitable for agriculture and rice, complemented by stable livestock areas. The rental income is solid, and the return is reasonable for the Cerro Largo market.
