Buy, invest and rent in Punta Ballena
Set on the highest point of the coast, Punta Ballena offers something scarce elsewhere in Punta del Este: elevation, forest, and open views over the bay. Casapueblo and the Arboretum Lussich define its character —art and nature— and explain why more and more developments are choosing this area.
Today, it's one of the areas with the most new projects along the whole coast. Sea-view towers coexist with gated communities amid the woods and subdivisions in a hilly setting, with entry prices more accessible than in established areas and strong appreciation potential. Its proximity to Laguna del Sauce and Solanas broadens the offering.
We work the whole Punta Ballena offering — off-plan and under-construction developments, lots and houses — with real information and direct advice. If you're looking to invest in a fast-growing area, with nature and views, it's one of the most interesting bets on the map.
