Casa Grande
The Carrithers family welcomes fly fishing and horse riding guests to share their home in this incredible remote and wild place in Patagonia.
Estancia Ranquilco sits on almost 100,000 acres near the tiny towns of El Huecu and El Cholar in northern Neuquen Province, Argentina. It is made up of Ranquilco and the winter estancia Colipilli.
The main lodge is located three hours by horse from the trailhead at one of our gaucho camps, Buta Mallin. It is made up of Casa Grande, the original family home built by Ashley Carrithers almost thirty years ago, guest cottages, original stone and adobe buildings, barns and corrals.
Casa Grande is a stone-crafted, architectural masterpiece overlooking the Trocoman River, featuring a massive great room with a cathedral ceiling, an immense hand crafted stone fireplace and lovely long dining table.
Ranquilco is an abundantly special place where pure Nature reigns with as little human intervention as possible. There are no phones, no televisions, and even the electricity which is generated by falling water sometimes releases the participants to the gentler, kinder glow of candle and fire light.
