Uruguay ranks first on the list of the best destinations for retiring abroad, according to the 2026 Global Retirement Index published by the firm Global Citizen Solutions (GCS). We present to you an excellent property if you are considering settling in Uruguay. Located in the city of Colonia del Sacramento (founded in 1680)—and connected to Buenos Aires by a 50-minute ferry ride or to Montevideo via a two-hour drive—this home sits in the heart of the Historic Quarter, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Facing the Río de la Plata, its ancient walls appear on city maps dating back to 1731. It is the only property in the Historic Quarter with a spacious, north-facing terrace, which is sheltered from strong southerly winds and enjoys sunlight throughout the day. It is just steps away from major restaurants and museums, and minutes from all essential services (banks, hospitals, schools, shops, etc.) Fibre-optic cabling and underfloor duction delivers fast, modern connectivity throughout the house. The property spans a total area of 480 m², comprising a main house (142 m²), a terrace (54 m²), and a garden (248 m²). At the back of the garden lies a second, fully self-contained house (36 m²) with its own private entrance. The property also includes a garage, rare to find in the Historic Quarter.
