Ten thousand hectares along twelve kilometres of river.

The Alto Valle of Río Negro is a strip of fertile land held together by an irrigation system more than a century old. It's a productive, inhabited region: towns, schools, hospitals and roads, with fruit growing that goes back generations.

The territory sits on that strip, in the General Roca department, with twelve kilometres of frontage on the river's south bank, facing the town of Mainqué. Fifteen minutes from Cipolletti, forty-five from Neuquén airport. Dry climate, wide temperature swings, nearly three hundred days of sun a year — the same climate that gets the valley's pears and apples onto export markets.

It's a valley with a lake, too. Much of what gets developed here is organised around that: fronting the river, fronting the lake, or looking down on both from the bluff are three different things, and they're what explains why two plots of the same size are nothing alike.

The territory is developed by Biopueblo. NetX Gen is not and will not be the registered owner of that land: it markets one of its neighbourhoods, Chacras de Soluna, under a signed agreement with the developer, and connects it to the node network.

Separately, Biopueblo has assigned NetX Gen a macro-parcel to develop a neighbourhood of its own. That is still being defined, and this page describes it as what it is: a project, not a product for sale.

The distinction matters because it changes who you're dealing with in each case. Better to have it clear from the start than to discover it at the deed.

Soluna is Biopueblo's first neighbourhood and the only one currently being sold: around a hundred hectares divided into fifty-six smallholdings, between the riverbank and the bluff. Plots run from just over fourteen hundred square metres to twenty-five hectares.

It's a neighbourhood before it's a communal ecovillage: plots are individually owned, and a set of rules covers what can be built and how much of each plot goes to production and to native vegetation. You can live here year-round, and it's designed for that.

The neighbourhood's rules prioritise natural building, and not as an aesthetic preference: earth, straw, timber and local stone give walls with high thermal mass, which is exactly what a valley with a twenty-degree swing between day and night asks for. A wall that is slow to warm is also slow to cool, and in the Alto Valle that shows up on the bill all year round.

It is slower than a prefabricated module and cheaper in materials, and there are people in the area who have already built this way. The cost goes into time and labour, not freight.

The other route — prefabricated modules — isn't available here yet. It depended on a local franchise around Cipolletti or Neuquén that isn't running, and the prices manufacturers publish are US market prices that don't carry over to Argentina. When it exists we'll say so; until then we'd rather not offer something nobody can actually order.

Biopueblo has assigned NetX Gen a macro-parcel of around nine hundred and seventy hectares on the eastern side of the territory, fronting the river and the lake, to develop a neighbourhood of its own under the Lighthouse name.

The intent is productive: this is the stretch of the corridor meant for agroecology at scale, applied research, and a core of hospitality and work. Unlike Soluna, a smallholding neighbourhood already being sold, this is a larger mixed-use development.

It is being defined, and that's the honest way to put it. There is no settled area, no dated phases, no commercial model and no price. When there are, they'll be on this page.
