The private home built by the late millionaire conservationist Douglas Tompkins and his wife, Kristine, set in the midst of the 300,000-hectare national park they created in Patagonia in southern Chile, will be available to rent from next year.

In 2004, the couple’s non-profit foundation bought a vast sheep ranch in the Chacabuco Valley in the Aysen region, then set about rewilding it while gradually also purchasing neighbouring land as it became available. In 2018, the land was donated to the Chilean government and combined with existing reserves to create the Patagonia National Park.
