Acreage and a few hectares

Is it reasonable to be looking in the farming areas of Uruguay for a small farm to retire onto? A small garden, small orchard and some honey bees. We have all the skills for all these activities and would like to keep our hands in.

Hi! We are looking to do the same. We would like 2 or 3 hectares to do a small organic farm. I’ll post here if I find information.

I know of a 5 ha farm just off Ruta 5 up north, about 30-35 kms from Rivera. He has always been organic but I confess, growing organic here is a challenge but can be done. Anyway, he wants to sell.

Absolutely!
There are many areas around Montevideo, Atlántida, en even Maldonado (where Punta del Este is), where you can buy a farm and operate it.
If you enjoy the back country, many Departamentos (provinces) have small farm economies, dedicated to organics, conventional fruits & veggies, apiculture, and dairy. In Colonia, right across the river from Buenos Aires, there are many farming towns where communities of descendants of Swiss, Russian, German, Italian and Spaniard immigrants still reside and work.

check out the site uruguayproperty.com
There are several farms and plots of 3-5 hectares en Lapataia, near Punta del Este or on the Ruta 39 that you may find suitable.

There are developments that offer that size acreage, from what I have seen. Good real estate broker/agent can assist you there.

Most chacras are 5Ha minimum. Soil is variable from great to granite, we have much of the latter in the Sierra de Las Ánimas.
While Uruguay has a history of dry cropping, that has not worked well during this drought and the droughts of last 2 years. Uruguay has a huge amount of ground water so a well is good. Our water is at 150ft down.
While on the subject of water, Uruguay is very flat and large areas are prone to flooding during intense rain events. Keep flooding in mind as you buy land. We looked at a farm near Solis and saw that it was prone to flooding and would not have access during high water. We asked the realtor who said that there was no flooding problem. The yellow "PARE" tape was still lying by the road where they had closed it due to flooding. Buyer beware!
After 6 years here we are grateful that we are able to do everything form construction to repairs of all kinds. To date we've hired a backhoe and a well drilling rig and that is it. Finding competent people is often a challenge here. Definitely a DIY kind of place.
