A103 Working 133-acre volcano-view ranch at Rio Piedras - $1,620,000 |
This large working ranch with potential for tourism development is being offered with its 40 milk cows as well as 12 horses. Located in the hills above the north end of the lake in the Mt. Tenorio watershed, it is especially fortunate in its plentiful water, which not only serves garden crops and orchards but also makes the ranch electrically self-sufficient through a dynamo in a stream. The ranch overlooks the village of Rio Piedras and the famous windsurfing area of Lake Arenal. It's great variety of pastured and forested terrain, with pretty valleys and hills to various heights make it a good property for tourism development, perhaps as a dude ranch. The higher hills could produce significant income as leased sites for wind turbines. The finca is approximately 10 minutes above the village of Rio Piedras, which is approximately halfway between Tilaran and Nuevo Arenal. |
