I know that some of you don’t even know where Argentina is so it isn’t a surprise that you wouldn’t own or think to own Argentine real estate. What is surprising is that it has remained a secret for such a long time. Where else in the world can you find lots and lots of quality land, a stable government and low price per acre? The reality is that you can’t except for in Argentina.



The population of the world is exploding, the needs for food and energy is increasing. Along with that, cities are expanding at record pace and are consuming the surrounding agricultural lands in the process. Thousands of prime agricultural acres are lost every year and unused land is harder and harder to find not to mention more and more expensive. Just looking at China they are losing land to not only expanding urban sprawl but to pollution.

Argentina is the 8th largest country in the world but its population is the 30th and is not evenly distributed. Buenos Aires contains 1/3 rd of the nations population and most of the population is concentrated in big cities. That leaves millions of acres of prime agriculture/ranching land open and uninhabited. It also means that large tracks of land are intact and can be sold in one lump sum. It isn’t uncommon to find 30,000-100,000 acres for sale at unbelievably low prices (in the $25/acre - $100/acre range for good land but hilly and $500/acre - $1000/acre for high quality flat land).

Argentina has abundant quality land, abundant water and abundant resources all at the lowest prices in the world. Now with Bio-diesel becoming the next dot com industry, South America and in particular Argentina has the potential to be the top producer in the world. There are already companies in Argentina that will buy everything produced from Soy growers to use in Bio-diesel production. They are even going to property owners that are not doing anything with their properties and asking them to produce because demand is far greater that supply.

That doesn’t only apply to Bio-diesel; there are natural resource reserves that haven’t been discovered yet. There are great energy projects, ranching opportunities, government projects that are all going unexplored and un-funded. Argentina is a land full of opportunity and is prepared to return to world prominence. The citizens are educated; the government has taken very positive steps all in the effort to return to their former world prominence.

You may have heard of Juan and Evita Perón. They were the leaders of one of the most economically powerful nations on the earth (7th to be exact back in the 1930’s). They were on pace with USA, Canada and Australia. Instead of moving forward as these other countries have they spun out of control, which set them back by decades. This ultimately ended in the downfall of the country economically. Now after 60 years the country is finally getting back on its feet and is becoming a world player again.

The secret is out that Argentina has the land, the right prices, the economic stability and the will power to bring in outside investors. As an outside investor there is an opportunity to trade in your high priced land, and purchase high quality land at a fraction of the price. As you know with any good deal they normally don’t last very long.

The outside world is beginning to recognize the incredible opportunity that is called Argentina. The secret is out and now is the question how are you going to capitalize on this gem that won’t remain hidden for long?
