Without doubt, one of the charms of Santa Rita is its history, which goes back to the times of the Virreinato. The estancia originally covered 16.000 hectares in frontier land. The main house was built in 1790 by the Ezcurra family, then owners of the estancia, and extended in stages until approximately 1840. In 1890, the estancia was acquired by the provincial senator Antonio Carboni, founder of the small village of the same name located 2 km from the estancia.

Santa Rita remained in the Carboni family until 1988, when we became the estancia's proud owners.
