Hacienda 500 hectare Lodge, Hotel, Horseback Outfit in the Andes in pure nature!
Thank you very much for your interest!

Earn your money amidst the untouched nature of the Chilean Andes by 310 sunny days per year!

We are running our Hacienda Los Andes as a lifestyle – company. The Lodge is open for guests 8 months a year, the other 4 months we use to travel around.
Of course one could even increase the company’s rate of returns, but for us freedom and spare time is much more important than money. Every year we can prove a raising of the returns, also because every guest is registered with his personal address and takings for the Hacienda. The annual rate of returns, all expenses, registered exactly, is 13 %. As the owner you hardly have any costs of living, because all normal costs as food, housing, electricity, water, car, etc… are included in the expenses of the company and can be put down until 100 %.
In our region you have 310 days of sun in a year, and after the take over of the new owner we keep on living approx. 3 km away from the Hacienda – no wonder if you have a look at the photo on the right – we don’t want to leave this marvelous place! So if there raise questions we can be contacted directly by the new owners. Our professional website http://www.haciendalosandes.com gives you a vivid impression of our products and our company.
The Lodge Hacienda Los Andes


Live, work and earn money on 310 days of sun below the Southern Cross. A Turn-Key-Business.

The new owner can earn money immediately – from the first day on - far away from any stress. The newly erected Lodge Los Andes is situated on a 150 year old hacienda and lies amidst the unspoilt nature of the Chilean Andes. The gorgeous land of 500 hectares (1.2 mill acres) stretches out between the banks of Rio Hurtado (ca. 2.5km/4 miles of river banks) and the summit of the Cerro Gigante (2450m/8160ft).Only a few hectares of the land are used for agriculture. The large rest is a national park which constantly invites to be discovered on foot. There are hiking trails through the unspoilt landscape of the Andes, on which you come across cactuses, river banks, gorges and sumptuous meadows. The buildings of the hacienda – stables, barns, working quarters, owner's house and guesthouse – are surrounded by palm trees, colorful bushes and gardens. The lodge was built in 1999 to 2000 according to European standards of architecture, with a lot of wood and natural materials, clay roofing tiles and wall paintings to create an exclusive atmosphere. The estate has got all modern conveniences (electricity, drinking-water, biological sewage treatment, central hot water supply, central heating for all rooms, internet, telephone).On the construction site with its more than 1000 square meters, there are the owner's house with garden, the elegantly styled Hacienda Lodge with 6 guest rooms (all with en-suite bathroom and facing the palm tree garden), sauna, whirlpool with a view over the Andes and also corresponding common rooms – e.g. restaurant, also called "Comedor"- with its own bathrooms and an open fireplace, all in rustic colonial style. The spacious and professional kitchen contains a store-room, cellar, dining room for staff and toilet.
Furthermore, there are sufficient and well equipped stables for the horses, tack room, training paddock, wine production room, garage for car and tractor on the estate.

You continue work the following day, uncomplicated, in safety and have got your own business
The Lodge Los Andes: The Lodge Los Andes, the gate to the wilderness of the Andes, is a comfortable and cozy outdoor center and hotel. The guesthouse on the 500ha large estate boasts thirteen beds of various categories. International tour operators offer products, but direct customers make up more than 80% of total turnover. Apart from the high-quality website in four languages which can be found on all search engines at the top of the lists, many customers come on recommendation, reports of travel guides and intensive advertising in Chile.
The absolutely professional business is renowned in Chile. It has got a superior price level, and there has been a lot of media reports on it.
An enormous advantage for tourism is that there are 310 days of sunshine per year, that the Lodge is open all year, that it is away from the "tourist tracks", and the region offers extremes of nature and clear air. All this invites guests to relaxed days in the Andes. This region has got the starriest sky in the world and famous observatories of many nations. The guests will find a charming combination of untouched wilderness, the beautiful Andes, holidays close to nature, relaxation and recovery here.
The Lodge exclusively offers its guests a 3km/4.8 miles long river with romantic bathing places, the national park of 500ha with its own walking paths, a whirlpool with a view to the Andes, a sauna and a sunny palm tree garden to relax. In addition, the lodge offers its guests many trips: riding tours (guided by the owners or guides), hiking, mountainbike tours and many other local activities.
Apart from the 6 rooms, the Lodge also offers a camping site by its own river.
The Lodge is listed in more than 15 different travel guides all over the world as an insider tip. The guests come from all parts of the world in order to enjoy the magnificent landscape and the healthy climate in an exclusive environment.
The turn-key-business Lodge Los Andes is in full working order at the moment. Guests are welcomed there every day. The business will be handed over ready for immediate occupancy, fully furnished (e. g. with first-class trained horses) and 100% ready for operation, including a complete saddle chamber with 12 saddles, well trained horses, workshop, tractor with devices and trailer (almost new), the hacienda's entire furnishing (kitchen: dish washer, fridges, food processors), complete furniture of all rooms, bedding and the entire hotel equipment.
Of course, the hacienda's team, who works well together, comprises a gardener and farmer, an expert on horses, room maids and cooks. They are interested in continuing their work at the hacienda. The manager-couple is also willing to work for the new owners for a longer period.
The new owner can immediately – without any restrictions– work and live at the hacienda and earn money. The Austrian/German manager-couple runs the Lodge themselves, they have been familiar with Chile for more than 13 years and want to sell the Lodge for private reasons. In the future, they will breed and train criollo horses nearby.

Foreigners can legally set up a company in Chile immediately and acquire land and title completely in their name. The company's current auditor (speaks German and Spanish) is willing to deal with all the paperwork with a notary and to continue to work for the new owner. The buyer should of course employ a notary to supervise all actions. For reasons of confidentiality we do not make any statements about the real turnover and earnings on the internet. However, we guarantee that after deducting all expenses two very big yearly incomes according to European standards can officially be saved. This statement can be verified in detail in written form that can be understood by the buyer.

Information about location and region
The Little North: „Norte Chico“ Offers unspoilt, wonderful landscapes, which can rarely be found nowadays
Chile Chico, the Small North – as is also called the 4th region - is situated only 500km north of Santiago. Aircrafts from Santiago arrive three times a day in La Serena, the well known spa resort on the Pacific, with a flight time of only 55 minutes. The 4th region has got a coastline of roughly 450km and an endless strip of the Andes, with summits of an altitude of almost 5000m. The valleys are enormously fertile, which is why this area is Chile's main producer of grapes, citrus fruits, figs, nuts and avocados – these products are exported worldwide. Concerning safety, everything is alright here, as the statistic of guests shows: More than 65% of the guests are female, many of them traveling alone. The northern Chile's "pisco" is famous all over the world. It is a clear, natural brandy which is distilled from grapes of the local sunny wine gardens. In autumn and winter on the northern hemisphere, the main traveling time here begins in a mild, dry climate from September to May. The blue Pacific with its fishing villages is as much part of the region as remote valleys, endless walking paths and the silence of the Andes, with condors flying above. Pisco de Elqui, very near valley Rio Hurtado and our lodge, is a well known resort in the valley of the same name. In this green valley, only 120 minutes away from the Lodge Los Andes by horse, on the historical Inca-Trail, there is one of the best preserved American-Indian ceremonial places in the north of Chile. More than 40 rock paintings are the last witnesses of the ancient Indian culture of the Diaguitas. They owned gold mines which later also lured the Incas into the Hurtado valley here in the north of Chile. They introduced an irrigation system, a labyrinth of canals, which also the Spanish used for their purposes in the 16th century and from which the farmers still profit today.The Spanish followed the Incas' old trade path, known as Inca-Trail, upstream the Rio Hurtado and further across the Andes. They called the pass "Linea Santa Rosa" and even today, like hundreds of years ago, thousands of animals move with their herdsmen on this trail from Chile to the summer meadows in Argentina. The community of Hurtado has only got 250km/ 400 miles of car tracks but animal trails that are thousands of kilometers long and on which the locals – just like the guests – travel on horseback. Of course, and that is nice, a lot has changed beside the traditional life. Hospitals, schools, community centers, renovations of the villages and the democratic development reflect the "new Chile". Thus visitors find in Chile's 4th region a mixture of old Chilean culture and ideas of life in the new millennium. The hospitable people who one can encounter here are small farmers, herdsmen, craftsmen and animal breeders. They live in small villages surrounded by huge, colorful massifs, the semi-deserts, the wide Sierra and the steppes. The blue sky shines more than 310 days per year. The crystal clear and absolutely clean air works like a magnet on astronomers – that is why the best known observatories of the European Union, the USA and Canada are situated here. Under this fascinating starry firmament of the Andes, one can go on an impressive discovery tour into the universe on one's holiday.

Dagmar Elsen, 2002:"The Lodge Los Andes is situated amidst a magnificent oasis at an altitude of 1000m / 3300ft in the desert-cordillera of the Andes, near the small village of Hurtado. Clark Stede from Germany and Manuela Paradeiser from Austria have revived a charming, 100 year old Colonial-style hacienda-estate and bathhouse which had been a wasteland for 30 years. Apart from excursions on horseback, they offer trips with four-wheel-drive and have built a trekking path for non-riders starting at the doorstep. The landscape of this mountainous, desert-like region is coined by romantic feelings of theWild West, with its cactuses and the typical Algarrobo trees. One comes to fertile oases here again and again. The canyons are steep and spectacular, the views across the Andes breathtaking, especially when the sun is sinking and covers the rocks with a fantastic world of colours.

Besides, there is ample opportunity to swim in the river and to relax in the evenings.
