Please keep us posted on your developments and progress. After all this discussion we ( well some) sort of feel as if we have adopted you. Perhaps your coming experiences, warts and all, may be a sort of test or virtual experience for others. I don't think you've mentioned how you were going to transfer your funds to Chile so that item will be worth a report later. Naturally you picked a time to travel when the dollar is relatively low in value against the peso. Murphey's Law is La Ley de Murfey in Chile.
Here is the name and email address of a real estate agent in the Osorno area and she has some large rural listings including some at the edge of the mountains. Naturally you can prepare a query in Spanish for what you are looking for and send it to multiple agents.
