Mon, 01 Mar 2010 16:02:55 +0100

Gavilan Wine Estates Gavilan is a 200+ acre vineyard development in the Mendoza region of Argentina. Situated within the city of San Rafael it lies on the foothills of the Andes mountain range. The 50 year old vines on 100 of the acres are nurtured by the rich glacier waters of the mountains above. Only in the Mendoza region will you find the ideal wine climate. Hot during the summer days, cool at night and during the winter it cools just enough for the vines to hibernate San Rafael is a large city to the South of the City of Mendoza. There are currently over 170,000 residence living within the city. The airport of San Rafael is serviced by Aerolineas Argentinas, the national Argentinean airline. Direct flights are available from Buenos Aires, the capital. The largest airport in the region is Mendoza, which is serviced from Santiago de Chile as well as Buenos Aires. It is an international airport with customs and immigration clearance. Gavilan is located on the northern board of the city in the Las Paredes district. With the property being on the city limit line, it guarantees there will be no construction obstructing the mountain view of the estate lots. Gavilan is unique in many aspects. Although you will find other wine estates offered by various companies, only Gavilan offers the estates in connection with a full hotel/resort operation as well as 24-hour security on site. The hotel operation gives an estate owner, who wants to build a vacation home, the opportunity to rent his/her house and offer their guests the amenities of the resort. Amenities like biking, horseback riding, the hotel library with 5000 foreign language books (the biggest in San Rafael), full concierge service, ski/snowboard escapes during the winter season, tennis court, restaurant service and, of course, full maid service. The owner also has the advantage of having their personal 5 acre vineyard or olive orchard be serviced by the professional caretakers of the existing Gavilan Vineyards. No hiring of staff, no expensive equipment to purchase. The vineyard experience is headache free for Gavilan Estate owners. The Wine Cellar in the main lodge offers wine bottle and barrel storage for owners and their guests. Many international Wineries have discovered the phenomenal potential that lies to the east of the South American Andes Mountains. The unique climate and the nutrient-rich waters that come from the glaciers throughout the year, the sandy desert soil and the 330+ sunshine days in the year all make this part of the world exquisite for growing grapes. With Gavilan Wine Estates everybody can now enjoy the lifestyle of a vineyard. The Price and Legal Stuff: Gavilan Wine Estates are less than $70,000 for a typical 5 acre (2 hectare) estate. Our smallest estate is offered under $50,000. We offer in-house financing on the estates with as little as $10,000 down and financed over 5 years. Property transfers will be done through an Argentinean “Escribano”, which is a notary/attorney who is licensed to handle real estate transfers. Legal property rights are very much like in Europe and North America. Transfers are recorded to a property recorders office and are government guaranteed. The transfer cost for the estates is $2000, all other costs are covered by Gavilan Estates. The buyer has the choice of selecting the ‘escribano’. We gladly give a list of available ‘escribanos’ in San Rafael. Escribano Bressan is the best known foreign investor ‘escribano’ for his excellent English skills. The ‘escribano’ can also setup an Argentine Corporation for those that want to stay anonymous with their investment. At this time we offer these properties simple for a ‘reservation’. No transfer will take place before October/November of 2009. Each reservation guarantees the sales price for the estate selected at the time of reservation. It is accompanied by a $1000-deposit, which is fully refundable if we will not close by November 2009. Deposits are handled through our US headquarter and are held in trust in the US. About the developer: Gavilan Vineyards (www.gavilanvineyards.com) is owned by an Argentinean company which is wholly owned by ICT Group, a US corporation. ICT (www.2ICT.com) is in business since 1994 and is a Florida corporation. In the US you can reach us by calling 305-867-7676. With years of experience, we offer selected properties with high return value. Our company is not a real estate broker but a real estate developer with footing in the investment market. While developers in the US were riding on the real estate bubble, we advised our clients in 2003-2004 to sell their US holdings. With the same foresight we say that this region of Argentina is a goldmine. In contrary to most other companies offering vineyards in Argentina, we have a high ranking representative of ICT on-site 365-days. We do not manage the sale and property from a desk somewhere else in the world but right from San Rafael.
