Argentina boasts its share of glorious lakes, most of which are in the southern Patagonia region of the country. But just a short 310 miles southwest of Buenos Aires lies Laguna del Monte, and right in the middle of this water wonderland is La Sistina, which could become your idyllic island getaway.

These 1,730 acres of fully freehold privatized land could be your answer to total seclusion or the fulfillment of your dreams of owning a boutique resort. In the past, the island has been used for private game hunting, and is home to deer, antelope and a large bird population. There are flamingos, ducks, hares, southern lapwings, partridges, otters, pheasants, peacocks, and many more birds and animals there, making La Sistina your very own wildlife preserve.

What makes the island such a move-in ready property is the exceptional fully furbished colonial-style villa with its own electricity and fresh water supply, which is located on the eastern side of the island. Whether for family and friends or paying guests, the villa’s accommodations are spectacular: eight air-conditioned bedrooms over two floors, housing up to 18 persons.

With its spacious and bright open living area featuring wall-to-wall, floor-to-ceiling windows, the house delivers expansive views of the lake and garden. Guests can sip on great Argentinian red wine from the house’s own cellar while enjoying the ambiance. There is also a swimming pool to supplement all of the available water sports on the lake and other outdoor activities.

Utilizing traditional Argentinian style in its interiors, the house delivers a cozy comfort zone with scads of conversation-inviting couches. Included in the property are external staff quarters and a utility shed. With its own three-quarters-mile-long dirt landing strip, the island can be reached by private plane in less than one hour from Ezeiza International Airport in Buenos Aires.
