Although all the real estate market in the area concentrates on developments in the coastline, such as the nearby towns of Punta del Este or José Ignacio, these clients decided to come with a new product and introduce country side living to a pristine market.

The Uruguayan landscape reminded them of what used to be their home in Provence, France. They also had experienced what happened to Provence for the last 40 years, where the seaside spots were all taken by real estate and massive tourism and the countryside started to be the best option to retreat. The proposal for the gated community Cerro Aspero consists of an outmost respect for the environment. Enhancing what the local flora and fauna have to offer. To make the place even more glamorous and attractive to potential clients, big masses of productive olive and almond trees were planted following the hilly topography of the land. So as to make sure water was available for the plantation all year round, 2 major lakes were made to guarantee enough water for irrigation. The property has been divided in 34 big lots of a minimum of 5 hectares. The purpose is privacy among owners and sharing the countryside life. As the master plan keeps developing in the future, new products such as boutique hotel, art museum, scenic trails, etc., will be added to the overall experience.
