Brand New Contemporary Home In La Cañada – Gated Community In Punta Del Este

On a 1,000 m² plot, this brand-new home offers a contemporary, efficient, and comfortable way to live in Punta del Este year-round. Located in La Cañada, Distrito 52, it combines modern architecture, excellent finishing quality, and an innovative construction concept within one of the area’s fastest-growing private communities.

The property is laid out entirely on a single floor, with horizontal architecture that prioritizes natural light and a constant connection with the garden. Its wood-clad volumes, pergolas, covered galleries, and large glazed surfaces create a warm and sophisticated aesthetic, where architecture and landscaping were conceived as one.

The social area forms the heart of the home, with a spacious open-plan living and dining room, large windows overlooking the outdoors, and a high-efficiency wood-burning stove. The kitchen integrates with the living space through a large central island and features high-quality cabinetry, Laminam countertops, and appliances including an electric cooktop and oven, creating a functional and particularly appealing setting for family life.

The layout includes four bedrooms: two suites and two additional bedrooms sharing a full bathroom, plus a guest powder room. The principal suite stands out for the carefully designed bathroom and the selection of materials and fixtures. The specifications confirm Laminam wall finishes and countertops, Egger cabinetry, Roca sanitaryware, and contemporary faucets—an arrangement consistent with the property’s overall standard.

One of its main distinguishing features is its CLT construction system—Cross-Laminated Timber, or cross-laminated wood—a mass-timber industrialized construction technology increasingly used in high-quality contemporary architecture. The crosswise arrangement of its layers provides strength, dimensional stability, and great construction precision. In addition, it offers thermal insulation, energy efficiency, and lower waste generation and environmental impact than many traditional systems.

In this home, CLT is not merely a structural solution: in certain interiors it remains exposed, bringing the natural warmth and texture of wood into the spaces and becoming part of the property’s architectural identity.

The specifications are completed by imported double-glazed windows, split air-conditioning units, and a high-efficiency wood-burning stove, creating a home specifically designed to provide comfort throughout all four seasons.

Outside, the covered galleries and pergolas naturally extend the social areas toward a carefully landscaped garden. The swimming pool, equipped with a heat pump, considerably extends its period of use and reinforces the concept of a home designed to be enjoyed year-round.

The location is another of its major attributes.

According to the developer, it is approximately five minutes from the Peninsula, downtown Maldonado, and La Barra, with fast connections to the city’s main destinations.

The concept is particularly attractive to young families seeking to settle in Punta del Este: living in a private, green environment while keeping schools, services, and everyday activities close at hand. Distrito 52 already has North Schools in operation and continues to develop its commercial and services hub.

These amenities are complemented by permanent security, controlled access, paved roads, underground infrastructure, sanitation, and lighting, while maintaining comparatively moderate common expenses for the level of infrastructure and services provided. Current commercial references place monthly homeowners’ association fees at approximately USD 250 to USD 300; this figure should be confirmed before being included in the final listing.
