Chacras de las Sierras

About

Chacras de las Sierras is a farm-estate development in the Sierra de las Ánimas, Lavalleja department, north-east of Solís de Mataojo. It is reached via the Camino de las Sierras from Ruta 8 (km 82.5); the developers put it about an hour from Carrasco airport and roughly 45 minutes from Punta del Este. The site sits more than 400 metres above sea level.

The estate of almost 1,100 hectares is divided into about 60 farms (one listing mentions 61 titles) of up to 20 hectares; in 2026 listings, 15-hectare plots were offered at U$D 200,000–220,000. Each owner may fence and build on only about 30% of the plot, with the rest left open to free movement, and more than 100 hectares are common land with native woodland, waterfalls, streams and a flora and fauna reserve. Owners hold the common areas through shares in a trust. Over 30 km of internal tracks link the farms.

The project offers 24-hour security, resident staff, waste collection, firewood supply and upkeep of tracks and gardens. It has a club house, a polo field and school, horse care and riding over more than 15 km of hills, and its own vineyard producing the Las Sierras wine together with the Deicas family.

According to one listing, common charges are around UYU 15,000 a month and cover security, maintenance, tracks, waste, saddled horses and club house service. It suits buyers looking for a country or weekend home in hill scenery with shared services and plenty of space, rather than an urban lifestyle.
