Located in the pre mountain "El Viento" this typical argentine estancia, which is 1,300 meters high, is dedicated to tourism but it is still a livestock place, concentrating on raising cows (pure Hereford), lambs, and goats.

A traditional country house, with historical and restored facilities, surrounded by native nature, with views of the Domuyo Volcano and the mountain range called “Cordillera del Viento”, along with the careful service of local staff will offer you a special stay, with guaranteed peace, enjoyment and rest.

The experience you will have at Estancia Chochoy Mallín will begin long before crossing the first gate.

The gravel road is steep, dizzying, and shocking. In the middle of the steppe of northern Neuquén, each curve is a new adventure accompanied by a pure beauty.

Afforestation, The Ranch is developing a 650-hectare afforestation project which, in partnership with Corfone S.A, and under a real estate contract of forest area, is framed in a project of Neuquén Province to form a wood region in the northern area of the province. You can also be part of this afforestation project through the "forest escrow" that proposes being part of small plots, becoming a forest producer, and part of a sustainable, environmentally friendly development.
