Polo Anyone? This BA listing features several outdoor amenities including 7 Class A polo fields.
A property in Buenos Aires is now the most expensive listing in South America but, interestingly enough, the house may not be the biggest attraction for potential buyers. Spread out over 185 acres in the Buenos Aires neighborhood of Pilar, the La Felicitas Polo Club features the 29,000 square foot main residence, a 6,400 square foot clubhouse, two stables, a tennis court and a 12 acre lake suitable for aquatic sports. The listing’s finest amenity, however, may actually be the seven Class “A” polo fields which have served as the site of several tournaments in recent years. Sotheby’s Argentina describes the property as being “built with the highest standards” and possessing “everything necessary to provide guests with maximum comfort.” Visitors and media outlets describe the property as vast and deserving of a car or helicopter for proper orientation. While it has yet to be included on the Forbes annual property ranking, La Felicitas tops Argentina’s last listing superlative, a $12.9 million estancia in Chubut Province, by almost $10 million. In comparison, the next most expensive listings that Sotheby’s currently promotes in Buenos Aires are a $2.4 million, three-story home in Barrio Parque adjacent to the parks of Palermo followed by a 4 bedroom residence in Belgrano Chico for $1.5 million.
