Chapelco Chico

Chapelco Chico is a sought-after forested enclave set between the Chapelco corridor and the shores of Lake Lácar, prized for its native cypress and coihue woodland, privacy and proximity to both skiing and the water. It has become a focus for higher-end developments such as Terrazas del Chapelco Chico, attracting buyers seeking large plots and architect-designed homes in a natural setting close to town. From an investment standpoint, the neighbourhood's combination of lake adjacency and scarce buildable land places it among the strongest appreciation candidates in the 10-15% 2026 corridor forecast. Premium positioning means lower gross yields of roughly 4-6%, but superior capital-growth potential and standout short-let appeal. Lots and homes here typically range from US$200,000 to US$750,000+, rewarding buyers who prioritise long-term value and scenic exclusivity.
