Permanent supply
Lanín National Park (412,293 ha) and Nahuel Huapi National Park (717,261 ha) create absolute physical and legal boundaries around the most desirable land in the region. The supply of premium land is permanently and irreversibly capped.

USD transactions
All real estate in Patagonia is quoted, negotiated, and transferred in US dollars at the capital level. This is standard market practice — not a workaround. It insulates the asset from Argentine peso volatility.
