Tilapia gone, lovely farm now reduced to $150,000
B14 Tilapia farm on beautiful riverside 8.7 acres - $175,000
From the ponds, a typical tilapia, the most popular eating fish in Costa Rica. Tilapia cages in one of the ponds.
This tilapia operation, located at the village of Libano about 10 miles west of Tilaran, was idled in March, 2009. The village corporation that created the farm gave up the property to the bank that had financed their enterprise. The riverside acreage is still very attractive, though the ponds are dry. The formerly rough 10-mile road to Libano is now paved, so getting to this lovely Canas River valley is now a breeze, and the farm now has potential as a residential development. The ponds occupied just 15% of the land.
The Canas River flows through the village of Libano and then passes beside the former Tilapia farm to which it used to supply water for the ponds. The formerly brimming ponds are now just long deep holes in one end of the acreage.
The farm borders the Canas River.
The ponds are now dry.
There's lots of level land with scattered woods, a banana grove and, on the other side of the distant forest, the Canas River. The Canas River flows down the beautiful valley.
On the other side of the distant trees is the Canas RiverThere's lots of space for farming or building in the 8.7 acres.
The Canas River, after passing Libano, flows down this beautiful valley on its way to the Tempisque River Basin.
The acreage, about 1 miles from Libano, is reached by this pretty farm road. Two horses wait for their riders near the Libano church.
The road from Libano roughly parallels the river on its way to the farm and other ranches.
Two horses wait for their riders near Libano's church. The village is just 15 minutes from Tilaran via paved road.
