Tilapia gone, lovely farm now reduced to $150,000 |
B14 Tilapia farm on beautiful riverside 8.7 acres - $175,000 |
|
|
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. |

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 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. |
