Chile, South America

Price Upon Request

This lovely island pair consists of a 901.5-acre island (Guardiamarina Zanartu) and a smaller 49.42-acre island (San Andres). They are located in the sparsely populated Aysén Province of the Chilean Patagonia, a region of glacial lakes, channels, and fjords flanked by rugged peaks.

Many of the area’s popular tourist destinations are in the islands’ backyard, including the forest-shrouded Puyuhuapi Hot Springs, and the seaport of Puerto Cisnes, jumping-off point for fly-fishing adventures and one of the region’s most significant parks. Queulat National Park is renowned for its protection of wildlife such as condor, puma, and pudú, and the world’s smallest deer.

Guardiamarina Zanartu and San Andres are both undeveloped and have remained completely untouched and in the same family for more than 30 years. The larger main island is ideal for development of a fishing lodge, given the area’s abundant rainbow trout and salmon. You can create long walking or biking trails to wind through the evergreen Andean forest, filled with Southern beech and dwarf maitén. The possibilities are endless and totally up to the new owner’s imagination.

The Balmaceda Airport for commercial flights is about three hours away, and there are airports for small aircraft located in Puerto Cisnes and Puerto Puyuhuapi. The island can be reached by boat from Puerto Cisnes in about 3 hours. From Puyuhuapi, it's about a 1.5-hour boat ride. Upon arrival, you can relax on one of the several beaches, enjoy some fresh abalones or kayak or swim around the beautiful waters—it's easy to fall in love with this stunning island duo.
