Due to personal exigences, the proud owner of this magnificent private country estate has found it necessary to relocate abroad and is reluctantly placing his property on the market.
This exquisite property is located on 61.62 fertile acres of relatively high land and gentle rolling hills and has a large all-year creek which flows into the majestic Rio Grande, and onwards into the Caribbean Sea.
A lovely tree-line roadway welcomes you to this secluded, tranquil and serene country estate approximately 500 yards off the main highway, thereby providing a measure of privacy, while remaining in close proximity to the varied natural attractions. The Estate is located within minutes of the unspoiled Caribbean Sea and town of Punta Gorda.
The Estate has a total of seven structures, each with concrete walls, tiled floors and thatched roofing. The first unit is a cottage-styled great room housing the dining, bar and lounge areas. This comes with two stand alone half baths. There are three “Casitas”, spacious enough to comfortably accommodate two queen size beds, vanity and sofa. The first two Casitas have en suite bathrooms while the third unit’s is detached. Then, there is the Caretakers’ quarters and a two-vehicle garage. Also, there is a water tower equipped with a pressure pump to ensure an ample supply of fresh potable water at all times from the Estate’s own well. The units are fully furnished with everything from furniture to appliances to crockery and linens. In other words, this is truly a TURNKEY OPERATION.
Approximately fifteen of the sixty-two acres have been cleared and about ten of these have mature fruit bearing trees. The cleared area of the estate is professionally landscaped and has been continuously maintained by a dedicated caretaker and his family. Among edible produce on the Estate are are Bananas, Breadfruit, Cacao, Coconuts, Coffee, Grapefruit, Lemon, Lime. Orange, Lichee, Mali Apple, Papayas, Starfruit and Vanilla. In addition there is a sprinkling of trees suitable for construction such as Bamboo, Psalm Wood and Rosewood.
The wooded areas of the Estate is home to Armadillos, Howler Monkeys, Gibnut, Peccaries, Rabbits and a wide variety of native and migratory birds, including Hawks. There are hiking trails to facilitate the nature enthusiast. The property is so large that it could easily accommodate the installation of a swimming pool, tennis court, golf course, private airstrip or horse track around its perimeter.
The cleared areas of the Estate are like rambling meadows in varied shades of green, while in the immediate vicinity of the houses there are lush, manicured grounds with walkways, dotted with exotic plants flowers and shrubberies. It’s like having your own botanical garden! To enable the caretaker to clean and maintain the park-like quality of the campus, he has at his disposal two pickup trucks and a regular tractor. These items are all included in the purchase.
It should be noted that the Estate is not subjected to any nature conservancy program nor is its usage restricted in any way. It is unusual for a private country estate to come on the market with so much to offer. This property provides an excellent investment opportunity for the savvy buyer who wants to get into small farming, recreational outlet, eco-resort or private family retreat. At US$600,000,00 this is a real bargain.
