Own Land in Patagonia
While Also Helping Protect It
Invest and protect the landscape near Torres del Paine by joining a global community of explorers and conservationists in Explora’s debut Conservation Reserve.
Have you ever dreamed of not just exploring one of the most remote and spectacular areas on earth, but protecting a piece of it? Owning land and participating in a community with world-class amenities?
Mirr Ranch Group is proud to partner with one of the world’s leading exploratory hospitality groups, Explora, to offer the opportunity to explore and own property in one of the most significant landscapes in South America while partnering to fund its protection in perpetuity. A Reserve where owners will have access to world-class amenities and concierge services while also partaking in a compelling conservation project managed by the Nature Conservancy to create a world where people and nature can thrive.
The Opportunity.
Private funding is the primary vehicle to ensure these lands are conserved. As travel increases in places like Torres Del Paine, the urgency to protect the lands and wildlife become increasingly important. It is up to us to ensure these landscapes stay wild.
Explora is giving 30 families the ability to not only conserve this land, with The Nature Conservancy, but also have access to world class experiences and luxury amenities that can only be possible through a company like Explora.
The Location.
The Torres del Paine Conservation Reserve is a 14,800-acre private conservation reserve just east of Torres del Paine National Park in the heart of Patagonia and National Geographic’s fifth most beautiful place in the world. The park encompasses 448,284 acres of pristine natural glaciers, native forests, lakes, and rivers including the geological natural wonder known as Torres del Paine, and the Southern Patagonian Ice Field.
The Impact.
The Reserve aims to protect remote territories through a sustainable management model to safeguard rare landscapes, cultures, and ecosystems for perpetuity while also being able to enjoy the services and amenities of a world-class resort that Explora is known for. Within its borders, there are more than 20 species of mammals, 140 species of birds, and 3 ecosystems, with over 32% of the property being timberland. The Nature Conservancy has teamed up with Explora to lead and provide the conservation plan to adequately protect and improve the ecosystems within the Reserve.
This is the debut Reserve and will be the first step towards the ultimate goal of this community to impact 1 million hectares globally with conservation initiatives in our reserves.
Experience Explora at its best.
Going forward, this new model will allow discovery, recreation, and adventure while funding and supporting the protection of whole ecosystems for the benefit of all. This model goes beyond the traditional conservation easement, to strengthen the connection between hospitality, exploration, management, and protection.
