When landowners decide to invest capital in their Uruguayan farm, it’s usually driven by one of two goals: adding lasting value to the asset, or turning around an operation that has drifted into decline and needs a fresh start toward profitability.

Over the years, we’ve delivered a wide range of special projects across the farms we manage — airstrips, irrigation systems and boreholes (12.000 USD for a 35 meter deep borehole), contractor housing, and the internal road networks that keep a property running smoothly day to day. To give an idea, the cost of constructing an entirely new internal road is 8.000 USD per km. We’ve also designed and built keylines in crop fields, developed drinking water systems for livestock, installed new cattle corrals, and cleared land of invasive bush and weeds to restore productive pasture.

At their core, these projects fall into two categories: improving the farm’s productivity, or strengthening its infrastructure — and often, its overall look and feel. A well-executed special project doesn’t just add value on paper; it changes how a property functions and how it feels to walk it.

Our approach is straightforward. We prepare a detailed budget, present it to the landowner for authorization, and only then move to execution. It’s a simple process on paper — but keeping a project on schedule in Uruguay takes experience, local relationships, and constant attention on the ground. That’s exactly where we add value.
