A beacon in the Andean-Patagonian forest.

Lighthouse is the Patagonian corridor's habitat asset: the development where the standard gets set — how it is built, to what specification, and how far preservation reaches. What works here is what gets repeated at the other territories.

The project is designed and measured against five capitals — natural, human, social, built and financial — as well as return. That's the difference between a development with environmental talk and one that can show what improved, with what number, and over what period.

Master planning is being done by Regen Village OS together with a local architect, with a digital twin and an environmental impact study. It is the stage we are raising for: there is no approved master plan yet, and that work is exactly what this round funds.

The property sits in Andean-Patagonian forest, inside a biodiversity hotspot. It has native forest, eleven lagoons, a river of its own and a thirty-two-metre waterfall. It neither borders Lanín National Park nor falls under its jurisdiction: the park is landscape context, not part of the project.

Twenty minutes from San Martín de los Andes, twenty-five from Chapelco airport and forty-five from the ski centre. It's the hard combination to find: real seclusion with a town full of services half an hour away.

The land sits outside Mapuche community territory and outside National Parks jurisdiction, with clean title and approval under the Native Forest Law.

This is the preliminary land-use study, set on the property's actual terrain: which band goes to residences, which to hospitality, which to production, and what stays outside development altogether. It stays a preliminary study: the approved master plan is still to come, and the areas will move once the plan closes.

What it does settle is the criterion, and the criterion is what decides the value of the development: building concentrates on the lower band, the one that already has made roads and power arriving, and the closed forest higher up stays out. The reserve isn't an environmental concession bolted on at the end; it is what holds up the price of everything else.

The detail — plots, areas, phases and numbers — is worked out in the master plan and shared in the investment material, not on this page.

Of the two hundred hectares, forty are held as permanent nature reserve. It's the part of the project that exists to stay as it is: permanent means it remains outside every future phase and outside any reclassification.

The rest is designed with the native forest as a constraint rather than an obstacle, with the environmental impact study built into the master plan from the start instead of filed at the end.

We'd rather publish the hectare than the percentage. An area figure can be checked by walking the site; a preservation percentage invites rounding up.
