The Vision
Algodon Wine Estates is owned by InvestProperty Group, a venture capital and real estate development firm based in New York City, with affiliate offices in Buenos Aires and San Rafael, Argentina. As a homeowner in Algodon Wine Estates you will be dealing with an American company that has already developed strong relationships with local attorneys, accountants, businesses relating to infrastructure, and also the local government. Algodon Wine Estates has the privilege of being named a project of special interest by the city of San Rafael. InvestProperty Group has a vested interest in Algodon Wine Estates and is an American company, which helps to mitigate many of the risks that foreign real estate investment might entail.Located in the foothills of the Sierra Pintada Mountains at the base of the Andes, our San Rafael, Mendoza based boutique winery and golf estate encompasses over 2,050 acres of picturesque terrain that harmoniously intermingles with working vineyards, fruit, olive, and nut orchards, water reserves, and spectacular tree-lined roads. This remarkable property features a world-class boutique winery and tasting room, as well as an 18-hole championship golf course, driving range, two boutique hospitality lodges, and an award-winning restaurant specializing in authentic Argentine gourmet cuisine. The championship tennis center, Jose Luis Clerc tennis academy and clubhouse, championship polo fields and clubhouse will be completed in May 2009. Some of the property's original structures, whose elegant rustic style adds a certain element of charm and comfort to the estate's overall character, date as far back as 1921. Algodon Wine Estates' oldest vines were planted in 1946 and are comprised of seven varieties of grapes including Malbec, Argentina's signature varietal. The surrounding resort and golf course frame this vineyard estate, creating an alluring sanctuary of relaxation and tranquility.
Algodon Wine Estates incorporates the innovative concept of a vineyard and golf estate living community by offering 300 homesites, ranging anywhere between 1-15 acres each, as well as 50 condominium-style casita townhomes and approximately 12 tennis villas for private sale and development. As a prospective owner, you may choose a homesite or villa casita amidst the vineyards, grassy knolls, and golf green of our Wine & Golf Village, or perhaps a spacious tennis villa surrounded by our more than half-century year-old olive orchard and adjacent to the Tennis Center; you may prefer a homesite surrounded by the vineyards, fruit orchards, polo fields and pastures within the Vineyard & Polo Village; you may opt for an exclusive lot in the Desert Village among the rolling foothills and vistas of the Sierra Pintada Mountains, and be privileged to some of the estate's most stunning views. Or you may choose to cultivate your own personal vineyard on the estate's most expansive homesites within the North or South Finca Villages, and enjoy the privileges of your own exclusive family label. Each of these locations operates under the same dynamic of unparalleled views, sensational natural surroundings, and the pleasurable endowment of an immaculately cultivated vineyard and golf estate.
Homesite owners will have the option of choosing from several architectural designs when customizing their homes, each keeping within the overall integrity an Argentine vineyard estate. An Algodon Wine Estates artisan and design team will be happy to assist homesite owners when determining which design works best for them in relation to location, landscape features, and personal taste.
