Beautiful 60 acre farm for sale in San Cristobal with Ocean Access. The property is about a 35 minute boat ride from Bocas town, two thirds of the way between Isla Colon and Almirante. On the sea frontage there are mangroves with a shallow slip way taking you to the land at high tide or a dock with wooden walkway at other times. The slip could be made deeper and the walkway wider and stronger. The land itself rises to a couple of hills from which you can see the sea. There is a stream running through the property. The front has been cleared and is used for pasture for a number of cows. The land is extremely fertile,. To the side is a teak plantation with over 5000 teak trees which can be harvested over the next 20 years or so (which would pay back your initial investment in the land). To the back is jungle with all kinds of trees (like cocoa, banana, bread fruit), plants and wildlife. There is an old farm house which could be restored and used as a guest house or farm workers' house. There is a wonderful sense of peace here and you awake only to the sound of the birds. The island is surrounded by coral which makes it fabulous for diving and snorkelling. The neighbours are friendly and Indians come by to sell you freshly caught fish and lobster - yet, the shops and restaurants of Bocas or Almirante and just a short boat ride away. The price is $299,000 ONA which makes this property extremely good value, This would be a great place for a farm, a self sufficient home or a small eco community. |
