New Property in Argentina for Willem-Alexander and Máxima
According to political magazine ‘Elsevier‘, the prince of Orange and his wife have bought a new property in Argentina. The couple bought two acres of land on a villa park in the area of Patagonia in Argentina.
Last week the prince and princess announced that they intend to sell the property that they are building on the Machangulo peninsula in Mozambique after it is completed. the project has met with a lot of criticism in the Netherlands and the prince confessed that he had ’sleepless nights’ about the project. But they won’t be left empty handed.
Earlier this year the couple bought two acres of land of the villa park Muelle de Piedra, next to a lake in the ski resort Villa La Angostura. According to Elsevier, documents from the province of Neuquén confirms that the land is registered under the name Máxima Zorreguita.
Karin Howie of the real estate agency FB Propiedades says that the property is located next to the Nahuel Huapi lake. She also says: ‘I looked at the property several times with Máxima and her husband. They day that they decided to buy it, it was pooring with rain, but they were in love with the view. Howie does not want to say how much money was oinvolved, but according to the Argentinian press it costed 2,5 million US dollar.
It is not clear what the prince and princess will do with the land. Ski resort Bariloche is only 80 km. away, they rented a villa there this summer holidays. Last year the couple already bought a property of 1.500 acres in the same region. But apparently this was an investment by the couple and the Zorreguieta family. That Estancia Pilpilcura will open it’s doors soon for regular guests.
-------------------
Not a very wise move if this is true btw. They haven't even sold one property and are buying another one, while the last months they already got the reputation of being spoiled, overpaid and always on holiday (not completely fair, but sdadly that is what many think now). Undoubtably a lot of people will write angry & jealous letters to newspapers/on websites, about how the poor dutch taxpayer is suffering and the royals just seem to spend, spend, spend.

But if you are happy to pay their holidays, it´s up to you. I would never live in a monarchist country. I don´t like my money to be wasted.
