Originally listed at $995,000 for this magnificent, well-built house on 27 acres, the owner has divided the property into three parcels to facilitate its sale. Each of the parcels shares the area’s gorgeous mountain views, multiple potential building sites, farmland, and roughly equal frontage on the village’s main road as well as on a clear mountain stream that flows year-round. While all three parcels and the house can be had for the reduced price of $850,000, each of the parcels is also offered separately.
The first of these, where the house stands on 2.77 hectares (6.85 acres), is an outstanding value at $450,000. The house beautifully fits its setting, featuring high teak ceilings and a spacious veranda with an outdoor kitchen and a majestic view of the Pacific Ocean. Built to the exacting standards of its German and Swiss owners, the home has excellent appliances and finishes, four bedrooms and two baths. Importantly, this parcel has among the best water availability of any farm in the area, bordered by a stream that flows year-round, which provides water to both the property as well as the neighboring community of Altos de Socorro. Pumps and a large water tank ensure a plentiful and uninterrupted supply of water on the land. Also, potable water is available from the community water association. The land gently slopes down in every direction from the house and provides enough space for a permaculture food forest or to maintain a coffee farm interspersed with a variety of fruit and other trees. A native forest reserve borders the stream.
The second parcel of 3.68 hectares (9.1 acres) includes two very good roadside building sites (these could also be segregated by the buyer and sold separately). Like the first parcel, this property contains plenty of space for fruit trees, coffee and gardens as well as several excellent building sites with views of distant volcanos on the mainland and, closer by, the green peaks, slopes and valleys of this special region. The price of this parcel is $165,500.
The third and largest parcel of 5.4 hectares (13.36 acres) contains the flattest portion of the original property. Like the other parcels, this portion has beautiful mountain views, significant frontage on the road and stream that flows year-round as well as a separate spring and creek. The asking price is $270,000.
All three parcels have access to potable water from the community water association, electricity from the public grid, and reliable fiber-optic internet.
