Yes, I agree. The land up here is sublime. It's fairly remote, which puts a lot of people off. Heck, that's the reason we DID buy up here. (Our farm is across the road from this one.) CR is doing a lot of work on the infrastructure in this community, too. Building bridges, renovating water lines... I think expectations are high for a thriving rural community.
@rhondak_ManorMiravalles I will be in Costa Rica for the first time June 4th but only in the Tamarindo area for now. I would really like to see everywhere down there because I am interested in buying farmland to retire early on
@@jasonmclean2408 Tamarindo is not so far from us. Could be a day trip... but it would take up an entire day from your itinerary. I'm not sure about the exact driving time... I've not been to Tamarindo and may never even bother to go. It's way too touristy for me and outrageously expensive. This part of Costa Rica is very, very different. Bijagua de Upala (the closest town) has everything we need for day to day living, and it's home to plenty of tourism activities as is Tenorio National Park and Rio Celeste. But up here on this mountain it's more different, still. Ranch hands still ride their horses to work every day and work their cows right there on the road. Very laid back way of life. A real throwback. Nobody speaks English. LOL Best place to retire for me, no question.
@rhondak_ManorMiravalles that sounds perfect, unfortunately I am only just starting to struggle at beginner Spanish. It will take time but dam the idea of having a farm growing all my own food all year round in a peaceful place sounds perfect
P.S. I love that song. It's called "Old Pen" by Cody Francis. I think it really carries the "pura vida" message, especially when you listen to the whole thing.
Shaun, I was going to recommend this video for you to watch, because it's the best one I have to show how great this mountain is for homesteading. It's a big parcel, not going to sell fast. Most people, like us, can't afford that much land and even if we could, we don't have the resources to care for it properly. However, it's fairly typical of the region, small and large farms alike. It's directly across the road from our place and was originally part of the same family estate.
@@MMAnimalSanctuary_Rhonda We'll have to figure out our budget. I think we're hoping to at least get 5-10 acres to start as it seems like we can still do a lot with that amount of land. We're watching lots of homesteading videos though and tons to learn before we make that leap! My wife at least grew up going to her families cattle farm in West Virginia, so she has some experience.
@@theaustinstravel we have approximately six acres ourselves and it is all we need! There are parts of this farm I haven't even seen yet. LOL Michel was a city boy...he's had to learn how to use power tools and string trimmers, and whatnot. But I've always been a farmer, gardner, etc. And interestingly, although I grew up in Georgia, I moved to Southwest Virginia in 2004 and lived walking distance from the West Virginia line. Where did your wife live in WV?
@@MMAnimalSanctuary_Rhonda She actually grew up in Memphis, but her Dads side of the family did cattle farming in Jane Lew, WV and she spent a lot of time summers and holidays visiting growing up.
@@theaustinstravel how cool! Yes, I'm familiar with Jane Lew. It's up 79 north of Flatwoods, which was always the first sign of civilization after coming off 19 from Beckley. Been a long time since I've been over that way, but yeah... I know where it is. :-)
How much and how many hectares are in the description. You can look on Google Maps or Waze and calculate the distance between the Miravalles Volcano and San Jose. The property is about an hour from Liberia. No house. It is raw land, as described.
No idea what the max altitude is. I have personally never climbed that mountain. Physically not able. I do know the minimum is around 800 meters above sea level. The volcano itself is about 2000 meters, and the highest peak of the farm is significantly below the cone. So if I had to guess, I'd say around 1,000 meters.
Very nice we are trying to make a video like this very professional, good luck with finding the right neighbors Pura vida
That is the nicest property I have seen for sale in Costa Rica so far

Thank you, Cash! I was finally able to pick up a condenser mic when I was in the states a coupleof weeks ago. Makes a world of difference! ❤

Hah! Thanks, Greg! Well... if we actually manage to help our neighbor sell this, it might be something to consider! :-)
How much is the land? I love the music and you described it all very well!
Hi, Ruth! :-) Thank you! The seller is asking 4,200 USD per acre, which works out to about $600K.
