I am looking to move to Uruguay. I think this site / service is wonderful and it is all of the many minds that offer advice, ask questions, share ideas that make it so. For some finally settling down in their new expat abode might be that "ah" moment, but for me I think one of those top 5 "ah" moments is going to be sharing first-hand experience in forum, or blog to a potential expat seeker (preferably while I sit munching on local cuisine, at a cool cafe, while I type away on my notebook).
With that said, I am open to share and get started.
A little about me: I'm a professionally schooled Naturopathic doctor (N.D.) and an artist. I'm not big on urban living, but I don't dodge any busy city as long as it's vibrant with lots to offer. My thing is more a laid back country setting with great views of the hills, and not to far from a big body of water (beach, lake, river, creek).
Feel free to chime in with tips, ideas, links, etc. If you have a property that fits my style, please share.
I am single, but who knows that might change when I move.
Thanks for reading and I look forward to offering more.

Welcome,

The only place I have been to with actual hills is around Minas and it is a long way from the coast.
When we drove up to Tacuarembo we saw flat topped cerros dotted about the landscape

but mostly it was a lot of pastureland, plantations for timber and soy fields.

Most of Uruguay is pretty flat.

has properties at the coast from about $150,000 US. She has a good website and it will give you an idea of the mid and upper quality houses .

I also used Alicia Romano in La Floresta

and others who don't have much of a presence online.

>I am looking to move to Uruguay.<

Does this mean you have done your homework and after reviewing all the possible countries you have decided on UY? What country are you from?

I suggest driving north from punta del este on route 12. Laguna del sauce would be my first choice. It's very nice there and only minutes from everything.

I would also encourage you to continue north on 12. Find el Eden. Search that area. It is breathtakingly beautiful and will likely be a sound investment over time, but it is sparsely populated, so finding clients may prove difficult.

Jose Ignacio is also a very nice area where your services would be appreciated.

I found a gem for 105,000 and had my "ah moment" after unpacking my container and settling in. My neighbor has every sort of farm animal known to man and I look forward to starting my farm someday.

Good luck with everything. I hope you find all the things you are looking for: peace most especially.
