Boutique community of 32 lots of 4,000 m² with 17 ha of common land and ponds

About

La Morenita is a boutique gated community in the countryside of José Ignacio, about 10 minutes from the village and the coast. It sits in the wine-route area, among ponds and vineyards. One agent notes that local zoning does not allow plots under 3 hectares in the surroundings, which protects the views.

The project covers about 30 hectares. It has 32 lots of about 4,000 m² (one source says 31), and about 17 hectares are common areas. In 2026 lots were offered from about U$D 160,000; one listing asked U$D 199,496.

The common areas include two ponds with jetties, a jogging trail around the community, fire-pit areas, a football pitch, padel and a children's play area. Water will come from wells, with tanks and an internal network; each lot will have its own wastewater treatment unit. The community has its own electrical substation. Security includes motion-detection cameras, face and licence-plate recognition and patrols.

Works are managed by Carlos Marasco and the landscaping is by Identidad Paisajismo. Infrastructure works were due to finish in December 2025. The sources give no information on common charges or building rules. It is a relatively affordable option for the area, aimed at buyers who want a country retreat near the sea.
