A country estate of rare beauty and architectural integrity.Salto, Argentina.Ensconced within a magnificent 15-hectare, or approximately 37-acre, private park designed by the German landscape architect Otto Becker, this gorgeous residence is a rare jewel in the pampas. Accessed by 4.2 kilometers, or about 2.5 miles, of improved road, the estate is located only 200 kilometers from Buenos Aires. A scenic boulevard lined with palm trees leads to the strikingly original construction, built around the turn of the 20th Century and completely renovated in 2006. This 1,600-square-meter, or roughly 17,222-square-foot, house was built by the prominent Estrugamou family.

A complete restoration project was undertaken between 2001 and 2006, equipping the structure with modern facilities while preserving its original style. The house features seven en suite bed-rooms, four full baths, a home cinema, a wine cellar, a music room, and a double-height library.
