About

Las Cárcavas is a small oceanfront gated development on the Rocha coast, on Ruta 10 at around km 204.5 in the Garzón area. It is about 15 minutes from José Ignacio across Rafael Viñoly's bridge over Laguna Garzón, inside the UNESCO biosphere reserve. It takes its name from the cárcavas, deep erosion gullies cut into the coast by rainwater.

It covers about 60 hectares (other sources say 51) with some 350 metres of ocean frontage; half the land is kept as an ecological reserve. There are 24 farm lots (chacras) of 7,000–10,000 m² and 16 turnkey bungalows of about 200 m² on 1,500–1,800 m² plots. The architecture is by Isay Weinfeld and the landscaping by John Brookes.

The heart of the estate is the Beach House, facing the sea beside a pond, with a pool, a restaurant using produce from the on-site garden, a bar and lounges. There is a Grill House for barbecues, a natural-grass tennis court, stables and trails through the pines, a children's play area, wooden boardwalks and a helipad. The gate is guarded and security runs 24 hours; the restaurant is also open to the public and the venue hosts weddings.

The developer is Gridock S.A., now controlled by Gastón Marquevich's Optimum Capital Partners; Eduardo Costantini was involved at the start. Reservations were already being sold in 2011. According to one listing, chacras were offered from about U$D 540,000 to U$D 3.2 million on the front line, and bungalows for U$D 0.9–1 million.

It is a very low-density project for buyers who want a secluded beach house in open nature near José Ignacio.
