Uruguay World Community

Mission: Our hope is to build a world community of people looking to settle somewhere beautiful, safe, and easy to emigrate to. We are flexible and open to all kinds of arrangements. As of right now, we would only lease the land to people we have come to know and trust. If you are interested in emigrating to Uruguay, get in touch with us and come and meet us. If we build a relationship and mutually agree that sharing the land would be a good option, we can then talk about legal options for living on the land. However, we expect this relationship-building stage to take some time, so do not expect to meet us online and immediately come move to the land. Alternatively, we would love for people to settle nearby to us on their own land, so we can share resources and build a community together. We are a family with young children, but would love to develop a community that represents all ages.

We imagine a little village. One where we have our own individual homes and lifestyles, but can live in community with one another. Get in touch if you share this dream!

From www.ic.org/directory/uruguay-world-community/:

We are a family originally from Chicago that has chosen Uruguay as the place we will settle and raise our kids. Patrick (b. 1985) and Ashley (b. 1985) and Isabel (b. 2013) have 9 acres in the beautiful Uruguayan countryside in between Nueva Helvecia and Playa Fomento. Our land is 2 hours (by bus and ferry) to Buenos Aires, Argentina, and 1.5 hours (by bus) to Montevideo, Uruguay. Our land is fertile, our water clean, and we are looking for people with whom we can share our abundance! Whether that means to share in living on the land, in agricultural production, sharing tools or animals, sharing in schooling children, or coming together to share knowledge and have fun, we would love others to come to come live nearby!
