Club del Lago

The surroundings of Club del Lago are one of the quiet classics of Uruguay's east: a residential neighborhood grown up around the golf course opened in 1983 on the shores of Laguna del Sauce, the first in South America to certify the ISO 14001 environmental standard. The American-style course — 6.823 yards designed by Enrique Serra, with long fairways, deep bunkers and fast greens — structures a wooded landscape running between the sea and the lagoon. The available lots allow you to build in an established, peaceful area with every service close at hand, fifteen minutes from Punta del Este and near the international airport. For those who make golf a way of life, or simply value living inside a park maintained with care for four decades, it remains an address of unquestionable prestige.

The current offering is organized into seven sectors with residential lots starting at around 1.100 m² and scaling up to plots of more than two hectares for those looking for a bigger program. The neighborhood's master plan — available on the official site along with the lighting, hydrant and built-house plans — lets you choose your position with precision: facing the golf course, near the clubhouse or on the wilder edges. The infrastructure is documented in a level of detail rare for the area, a sign of serious management, and sales are handled through authorized agents. The neighborhood already has a significant number of built houses, so you're buying into a real neighborhood, with services up and running and clear value references.

The Club del Lago neighborhood grew up between the sea and Laguna del Sauce, at km 116,5 of the Ruta Interbalnearia, around a landscape that has had more than four decades of professional care: the golf course opened in 1983, the first in Latin America to certify the ISO 14001 environmental standard. Living here means living inside a park managed to international standards, where the fairways function as permanent meadows that no development will ever cover. The complex's hotel, the services of Portezuelo and Solanas and the international airport are minutes away; Punta del Este, fifteen. For lovers of greenery — whether or not they play golf — this is one of the most serene and established addresses along the entire lagoon corridor.

The golf course is the asset that underpins everything: 6.823 yards of American-style design by Enrique Serra on the shore of the lagoon, with long fairways, deep bunkers and fast greens, open 365 days a year with a permanent tournament calendar, including La Augusta, its events venue. An active, well-managed golf club is the best guarantee of upkeep for the surroundings — and therefore for land values — that a neighborhood can have. Demand for living next to the golf course is structurally stable, largely insensitive to market trends, and the supply of lots in established areas like this one keeps shrinking. As a long-term wealth investment, it's about as defensive as the Uruguayan east coast gets.
