About Honduras........
As of late Honduras has been called the best kept secret of Central America, and the next Costa Rica and Panama. Having a government and culture that is very friendly to foreign investment, a stable and growing economy, freedom to live a peaceful and family-friendly life; coupled with some of the world’s most picturesque scenery and temperate climate, it is no wonder why many expatriates and investors alike are excited about this special Central American locale.
Foreigners in Honduras have the constitutionally-protected right to sovereign ownership of land, without any Honduran residency requirements (we are very familiar with this as we are non-Honduran resident, U.S. citizens ourselves). Also, foreigners can easily set up bank accounts and business entities in Honduras (as we have also done).
Honduras is becoming very popular with foreign expats and retirees as they can live very comfortably on $500 every 30 days. Health and dental care is modern and very economical.
Honduras has a population of approximately six million, with about 40% of its population living in the three major metropolitan areas of Tegucigalpa, San Pedro Sula, and La Ceiba. The other 60% live throughout the beautiful coastal and inland rural areas spread throughout the country.
Honduras is centrally located in the middle of Central America. It is about 2,000 miles from the United States via the newly renovated Pan-American Highway, or a 2-3 hour direct flight from Houston, Atlanta, or Miami. The currency, the “lempira” is currently trading at approx 19.1 lempiras per U.S. dollar.
About Yamaranguila, Intibuca........
The Spanish colonial-era village of Yamaranguila is located in the department (state) of Intibuca and is approx 7 miles from the Spanish colonial-era town of La Esperanza, the capital of Intibuca. La Esperanza has a population of about 6,000 people. La Esperanza is a thriving and peaceful city with a full-service hospital, dental facilities, full-service banking, a number of English-speaking private schools, and a Canadian hydro-electric project that supplies affordable energy to the area (70% of Honduras’ energy is supplied through hydro-electric sources). Currently La Esperanza is a scenic 2 ½ hour drive from either San Pedro Sula or Tegucigalpa. The highway is newer and easy to navigate. Yamaranguila is a quaint little town that is becoming a very popular location for Hondurans who want to build a nice getaway vacation home, due to the area’s ideal climate and peaceful lifestyle.
The department of Intibuca is home to the majority of the country’s native ”Lenca” population (the indigenous indians of Honduras) and boasts of some of the most temperate and fertile land in Central America. Due to these conditions, as well as the agrarian lifestyle of the Lencas, Intibuca produces about 80% of the produce consumed in Honduras as well as some of the world’s finest cloud forest coffee.
The area is picturesque with abundant pristine mountain water and air, with breath-taking cloud forest views.
Currently there is a new highway (not a “hustling and bustling” one like in the U.S.) that is being completed that will link the Copan (Mayan) ruins with Tegucigalpa (Honduras’ capital) and will run through he scenic “Lenca Trail”. This new stretch will be the new Pan-American link from Guatemala to Tegucigalpa and southern Central America.
No crime and stress problems here..... a beautiful, clean lifestyle.
About our property, “Finca Paraiso”........
Finca Paraiso is located about 3 miles from Yamaranguila and ranges in elevation from 5,500 to 6,000 feet. The average daily temperature is between 72-78 degrees Fahrenheit, with nightly lows of 58-65 degrees (no heaters or artificial a/c needed here!!!!). The rainfall is ideal..... Simply put, the climate is perfect.
This area is being highly sought after for people who want a peaceful and safe getaway location with ideal weather conditions. Electricity is being extended to this area as the highway is being completed. Also, there is great off-grid opportunities on the finca through solar, wind (constant breezes), and hydro sources. Phone service is available either through wireless or by having landline service installed from Yamaranguila at reasonable rates. There is abundant drinking water available on the finca via pristine spring water sources on the property or by the local spring-fed community water system...... both of which are pure, clean spring water.
When the new Copan to Tegucigalpa scenic highway route is completed in the next year (runs less than a quarter mile from Finca Paraiso), the property could easily triple in value from that alone (quadruple at the price we are listing the property for).
The entire property is fenced with barbed wire fencing with some additional cross-fencing. There is a nice spring-fed running stream on the property with small cascading waterfalls and beautiful vegetation. Also along the stream there are large amounts of sand and rocks that can be utilized for various construction and landscaping purposes. There is always a nice breeze that blows through the mountain pines, producing a wonderful ocean-like sound.
There are mature pine, roble, guayava (fruit producing), arrayan (fruit producing) and abundant live oak trees on the property as well as 4-5 other local species. The property has a very nice roll to it with abundant tropical vegetation and nice shade trees along the stream, which bisects the property. The pasture areas are of high quality grass for grazing. The soil is rich, organic, tropical soil.
The upper portions of the finca have picturesque, far-reaching mountain cloud forest views.
There is a 16 week season that is drier (though not really dry due to the tropical mountain forest location) than the rest of the year and some of the vegetation is not as green as the rest of the year. That is when the pictures below were taken. The stream is nearly full of water three-fourths of the time.
Due to the elevation and inland location of the property hurricanes are a non-issue here.
It is home to many tropical bird and butterfly species. There are no wolves, coyote, big cat, snake, or predatory bird problems.
The property has road frontage as well and is located within 2/10 of a mile from the new road described above that is being built. However, one car or less weekly is the norm on the road fronting the property.
In Honduras there are three types of land ownership. First is a “private document or deed” (some are centuries old), which can be legally disputed. The second is a registered “private title or deed” (many have this), which the government can technically exercise eminent domain on like in the U.S...... third is the “Escritura Publica” (sovereign registered document), which is an absolutely sovereign title. This document can be difficult to acquire at times because land owners have “legally” stripped their land (trees) bare to the dismay of the government. (Land prices commonly triple with this type of title). Finca Paraiso is titled with an escritura publica with easily transferable, totally sovereign ownership rights.
There are no property taxes.
This property is ideal as an investment and as an offshore investment all profits are non-taxed for foreigners.
Cheaper, lower quality Central American property is selling online and on the local market for very high prices per acre (or square meter).
We are listing Finca Paraiso at the unheard of price of $295,000 (only $2,810 per acre) due to an immediate investment need.
I am willing to owner finance Finca Paraiso at this price with only a 15% down payment.
Finca Paraiso will be sold on a first come basis.
Showing is by appointment (we travel a lot on business).
Thanks for your time and interest,
Shimone
