Description
I live in a 4 hectare small holding in the foothills on the Andes which I have been working for the past 30 years.
There is an organic vegetable garden and a flower garden around the house. The rest of the property is native woodland with 2 hectares of pine plantation. There is a stream at one end of the land and a small river at the other end.
We are located in an area called Mallin Ahogado, 20mins from El Bolson and 2 hours south of Bariloche.
