Nearly 3,000 Hectares — Premium Cattle Ranch in Rocha
A large-scale cattle ranch in the department of Rocha, offering the rare advantage of on-site feed production through nearly 900 hectares of soybean- and maize-suitable cropland — supported by dedicated cattle management infrastructure, a natural lake with future irrigation potential, and strong road access at the junction of Route 14 and Route 16.
Total area: approximately 3,000 hectares
Feed-producing cropland: nearly 900 hectares suitable for soybean or maize production (soil types 2.21 and 10.7)
Water resource: large natural lake on the property, with future irrigation development potential
Livestock infrastructure: purpose-built facilities for cattle management
Located at the junction of Route 14 and Route 16, the ranch offers well-connected access within Rocha. It sits approximately 280 km from Montevideo and 180 km from Punta del Este — within reach of both the capital’s logistics and export infrastructure and the country’s premier coastal/tourism hub.
This ranch stands out for its ability to produce animal feed on-site. Close to 900 hectares are suited to soybean or maize cultivation on favorable soils (types 2.21 and 10.7), allowing an operator to grow a meaningful share of herd nutrition directly on the property — reducing dependence on external feed purchases and strengthening margins through cost control and supply security. The remaining land supports grazing at scale, backed by dedicated cattle management facilities designed for efficient herd handling.
A large lake is present on the property. While not currently developed for irrigation, it represents a strong asset for future investment — offering a new owner the option to develop irrigation infrastructure to expand cropping intensity or provide a reliable water source for livestock.
