Manguera Azul
Overview
A livestock-and-forestry property of 1,186 hectares in the Manguera Azul area, Lavalleja department, Uruguay. A very good full-cycle breeding livestock farm, with pasture-and-finishing improvement potential on more than 50% of the area, and an average CONEAT index of 83.
It has forestry-priority and forestry-suitable soils. A fully-equipped property, with excellent natural water, shelter and shade in every paddock. Scenic, quiet setting, under 200 km from Montevideo and Punta del Este and an hour from the city of Minas — a traditionally livestock area now seeing strong demand for forestry development, given its soils and proximity to port.
Commercial forestry, with 269 effective hectares planted: 32 ha of Eucalyptus Smithii planted in 2019, 140 ha of Eucalyptus Dunii in 2020 and 160 ha of Eucalyptus Smithii in 2021. Cattle capacity for more than 1,000 head, on improved fescue and red clover pastures, among others.

The Investment Case
