Opportunity rich property: From nature preservation to private or location specific development. Location This hill top farm is located in the village of Barroeta, near the city of Atenas. Following the main road from airport to the beach you will pass Atenas. Continuing this road for 4 miles, you turn left into the village of Barroeta. After 2 miles you will find this farm at you left hand side. The local residents are working hard to complete the paving of the road with concrete which is 60% complete at this time. The location is nearly ideal with driving time to the airport and Pacific Ocean beaches - less than one hour. The new four lane highway located in the valley below the farm will actually reduce these driving times Driving time to Atenas is 15 minutes. Atenas, a very nice small town of 20,000 inhabitants and, has, according to a study done by National Geographic, one of the best climates of the world. Climate With an elevation of 2,800 feet (840 meters), the temperatures are close to perfect with no need for air conditioning or heat.. The average daytime temperature on the farm is 28 degrees Centigrade (82 degrees Fahrenheit), with night temperatures of around 20 degrees Centigrade (68 degrees Fahrenheit) for great sleepling. These temperatures are approximately 7 degrees Centigrade (13 degree F) cooler then temperatures along the Pacific Coast. The farm The 15 ha farm can be split in 3 separate smaller farms of each 5 hectare minimum, each with its own cadastral number/National registry number. The bottom 2 parts will be accessible through an easement; the top part has access from the public road. From all three smaller farms one has incredible views of the Pacific Ocean, surrounding mountains and Central Valley. Many different habitats are contained within this large farm including, forest, pasture, reforested area with 1,500 native species planted within the last 2 years, over 200 newly planted fruit trees (different varieties). Because of the many forested areas within the Cerro Atenas Protected Area (of which the farm is part), many birds like Tucans and the Guans are found on this varied farm, but also monkeys, armadillos, iguanas, and other wildlife are present. Amenities The farm has a 80 meter (250 feet) water well with 25 gallons per minute of water, and electricity and telephone are available to the farm as well. The 15 hectare farm has public road frontage, and the farm has also an internal road (to get to the potential 2 lower parcels of 5 hectare each). The property is fenced and cross fenced (presently cows are grazing the pasture areas). Due to this variety the farm supplies many options of use. Options of use Next to its current use this farm gives you many more options. For possible developments, the farms ‘Uso de Suelo’ or ‘use of the land’, can be obtained at the governmental institute called INVU. Important details to keep in mind are the distance one has to maintain to the river, forest and public road, when building. Pricing 15 ha (37 acres): US$ 525,000 If one would consider splitting up the 15 hectares into 3 smaller farms of each 5 hectare (12 acres), and planning to keep the top 5 hectare for private use, the second and third farm could be sold easily for at least US$ 200,000 each!
