It is one of the best sheep stations in the district, and has been run by the same family since 1915. Mainly a sheep breeding farm with a secondary use as tourism using the main house for such purposes. Presently stocks a heard of 4000 Coridale & Merino breed. Also has 80 horses and 30 cows. Net yearly income: cattle and tourism combined: U$S 40.000. Hotel activity generates U$S 15.000, mainly web based activity from international travellers. Infrastructure and improvements The farm is easy to manage with two permanent shepherds as it is divided into several paddocks that give on to the main settlement or `casco´ of the `estancia´, thus avoiding having to herd the cattle over long distances to move them from one place to another. Installations: House, sharing sheds, corrals, garage, fencing, etc. are all in good order. The main house--presently in use--together to what used to be the second´s house (guest house) now used to receive tourists, are sheltered from the Patagonian winds by a hill and abundant poplars and weeping willows. In the main house there are 2 bedrooms with private bathrooms and another twin bedroom that shares the bathroom with the main bedroom.

The second house also has three bedrooms and two bathrooms. There is an English style garden with lawn and - according to the season- flowers. Guests are lodged in the main house and the guest house and the common table is shared with them. Should they wish to do so, guests can partake of the working of the estancia. The maximum number of people than can be accomodated at one time is 15 although upgrading is easily achievable at an approximate building cost of U$S 60.- per sqft. There is a section of the garden that is set apart for camping and this includes use of the `quincho´ or bbq area and bathrooms with hot and cold water.
