The villa is situated in Chacras de Coria - - now a chic, rapidly evolving rural town just ten minutes south of Mendoza's city centre, where fine traditional vineyard land abutts a second advance of top-end residences. The Mendocino gentry have long had their villas on private estates here - - on 'Viamonte,' the winding road at the base of the Andean cordillera. But the new crowd, Mendoza’s modern business elite, are bringing with them an influx of fine dining establishments, art galleries, shops and the like. And there’s a new buzz that welcomes the additions to the quaint, and increasingly bustling, village. The property consists of: A walled estate with automated, remote-controlled, electronic, full security entrance gates: 6,650m2 (~ 1.65 acres).
