A102 16.5-acre farm with river, 3BR home, barn, workshop - $200,000, negotiable |
In the hills less than 30 minutes east of Lake Arenal, a stone's throw from the Continental Divide, lies this beautiful farm with over 300 yards of frontage on the robust Rio Quequer. The farm includes an island in the river. Nearby is the village of La Cabanga. This is nothing like a midwestern farm in the United States. While the major part of the farm is almost level and gently contoured, the terrain slopes down sharply to the river (thereby relieving any fear of flooding) and old-growth forest covers a substantial part of the slope. Also, there are no row crops. Instead, the terrain has been developed for beauty with large swaths of lawn accented with many fruit trees of differnt types as well as ornamentals. The owners have partly finished a viewing platform which enhances enjoyment of the surrounding hills and forests and the energetic river below. The home has 3 bedrooms and 1 bathroom and is more spacious than the usual Tico home. There is also an open-sided barn and a very strongly built workshop with an alarm. The location provides better than the usual Arenal-area time to the Central Valley because a few miles farther to the east, a traveller reaches at San Raphael de Guatuso the paved highway system leading to the cities of San Carlos, San Ramon, and San Jose. |

The dormant Volcan Tenorio rises impressively a few miles north of the finca. |
