Having a garden in Encarnacion radically changes life in a Paraguayan home. The climate allows outdoor use almost year-round, and local culture deeply values outdoor space (parrillada, quincho, family gatherings). We filter houses in Encarnacion that declare a garden or patio. For people coming from apartments in other countries, houses with gardens are often a pleasant surprise.
Wide range. In urban townhouse-style homes ("PH"), the "garden" can be a 20–40 m² inner patio. In residential-neighborhood houses: 200–500 m² is typical. In casas quintas and gated communities, 1,000+ m² is common.
Very common. The parrilla is core to Paraguayan culture, and almost any house with a garden has at least one. The quincho (covered outdoor dining area) is common in mid-to-high range houses.
By default, maintenance is the tenant's. For large gardens (1,000+ m²), some landlords include contracted maintenance in the rent.
