How to Spend $4 Million South of the Board - Way South of the Border | Pichi Chacay For Sale in Patagonia
categories: Alpharetta Real Estate, Luxury Homes, Stuff I like to talk about
Like you, I get all sorts of random email. Last week, though, I received one that caught my eye, probably because I’m a mountain boy at heart: 183 acre ranch in Patagonia. That’s $22k per acre of awesomely beautiful terrain.
I applaud the sellers for reaching out internationally and promoting their property world-wide, so I thought I’d post it for you to see, too. Eight kilometers to a Jack Nicklaus golf course; 20 km to the ski hill at Cerro Chapelco; 8 km to the airport; views of Lake Lacar and Lake Lolog as well as the Lanin volcano on the boarder with Chile. For people whose earning a livelihood only requires an internet connection, this place is the ticket.
Here is a full photo gallery of 35 pictures of the property called Pichi Chacay. I strong encourage you to install the piclens plug-in for your browser to get the best effect.
The main house is 2,700 sq feet, with three bedrooms and four bathrooms. There is an additional 540 sf "mountain cabin" with a bedroom, bathroom and kitchenette. Finally there is a an approximately 1,000 sf guest house with two bedrooms and a bathroom. For the horses, there are three stables and a paddock.
Did I mention that there is plenty of clean fresh air and fresh water springs on the property? Sounds a lot better than the commute is I-285, huh?
I got to thinking, if I had $4,000,000 to spend on a property, what could I get in Alpharetta, or Atlanta for that matter? Certainly nothing that compares to the natural beauty of Patagonia.
Did you know that there are 110 properties in Atlanta listed for sale at $4M and above? That was more than I expected. Of course, there is the $45M Le Reve Estate in Cumming , that I’ve mentioned before. Most of the other mega high end real estate in Atlanta is in Buckhead and Tuxedo Park (near Buckhead).
In North Fulton, there are ten properties priced over $4M. In Milton, the 30 acre horse estate on Hopewell Road at Bethany Road, you know the one with the HUGE covered riding ring, is for sale for $9.2M. The 38-stable barn is shown to the right: nicer than most houses.
Near Dorris Road and New Providence is a 32 acres horse estate, shown right, on the market for $7.9M, originally $10.5M. It also includes a 3BR / 3BA caretaker’s house and a 2BR guest cottage.
If you’re not into horses, you can go to western Roswell near Jones Road and there are some exclusive properties there.
East of GA-400 you can go to Country Club of the South and have three opportunities to spend more than $4M. Three point seven million will get you the most expensive home in Windard on the Peninsula.
All this is to say, the dollar still goes a long way in Patagonia. For half the price of a horse estate in Milton, you can get six times the acreage and hundred times the view. I’m not so sure about the local school system or the major league baseball team ;->
I’ve read that if you write down your dreams, they are more likely to come to pass. Thanks for indulging me.
If you want to just dream about Alpharetta/Roswell million-dollar real estate, this link will take you to the current list of 423 homes priced over $1,000,000 in North Fulton .
Our thoughts and prayers are with the Warmath family and their community as they go through this very tough time in their lives. We hope and pray that Kevin recovers.

For those like me who read this blog everyday, this will likely be the last post on this blog, as Kevin passed away this weekend. He will be sorely missed by readers like us, but even moreso by his family and friends, I’m sure. The caringbridge website has a memorial set up for him. Not sure if links are allowed here, but it’s caringbridgeDOTorg and the site is kevinwarmath.
Warmath family, all my best to you. Your husband’s work was appreciated by many families around the US, myself included.
Kevin our dear friend, may you rest in peace. We pray for your family in these tough times.
