Location

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 sleeping. These temperatures are approximately 5 degrees Centigrade (9 degree F) cooler then temperatures along the Pacific Coast.

The farm
The 5 ha farm has incredible 360 degree views of the Pacific Ocean, surrounding mountains and Central Valley.
Many different habitats are contained within this beautiful farm including, forest, pasture, reforested area with many native species planted within the last 3 years, and many 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 Toucans 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 5 hectare farm has public road frontage, and the farm has also an internal road/easement (to get to two lower parcels of 5 hectare each, which get their water also from the 80 meter water well mentioned above).
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.
