003) Land, completely virgin (no fencing), covered by the area's typical semi dry semi high forest, containing various varieties of tropical hard wood (quebracho blanco, colorado etc).
Soils of the Paraguay Chaco are generally quite fertile. The properties soils are again of outstanding fertility, being sedimentary Regosols + Regosols/Luvisols, sandy-loamy high in nutrients, especially Phosphate.
These are NOT the poor and easily degradable soils of the Amazon Basin. Correctly managed they maintain texture and fertility.
The region's climate tropical semi-humid, hot, 1.000mm anual rainfall, very pronounced half year dry season,
located in a macro zone of sweet water ground water(high salinity in ground water is a restriction elsewhere in the Chaco)
The area is still VERY remote, 8h drive from the next paved highway, in Paraguay's exreme north.

It could A) be a speculation on appreciation.
Land with comparable characteristics cost 4x that much in Brazil (Mato Grosso do Sul) or Argentina (Formosa). Paraguay is still a bit of a backwater, and the Chaco in particular, but one sees the agricultural frontier approaching and prices rising strongly.
Or it could B) be for the agro producer with sufficiant experience and financial resources to develop it.
Agro activities are starting only now. Currently only cattle breeding/grazing/fattening is being found. Natural condition would allow cultivation of a variety of possible fuel crops like Guinea Grass, Jatropha. Presently however infrastructure is lacking to make that viable.

The northern Chaco is not for the family farmer. There are no schools, no villages, no public services.
