I know of an Urugruayo who is selling his house on 3 hectares in the campo for $50,000. On old route 8 between Soca and Solis de Mataojo.
20-27 kms (24-30 minutes) from the nearest beach towns of La Floresta & Cuchilla Alta.
For most people, the house would likely need work and the land is overgrown including a patch of very tall trees which might provide firewood for years or decades even.
If you message me I can direct you to it if you want to do a drive-by before making contact. I'm not a real estate agent, just trying to help someone I know. They are older and want to move into town.
