Property Description

​

About 30 minutes from the Andean jungle town of Palanda is this beautiful 31-hectare (76.5-acre) riverfront property in the heart of lush green mountains. 

 

Down by the riverfront part of the property, there is a large flat section where you can easily build a couple houses. On the upper part of the property, where you will be able to enjoy mountain views, there are additional areas suitable for building. With the building sites spread out like this, you can have a family compound or an eco-community with the houses nicely distanced from one another, and you won’t feel like you are on top of each other. 

 

But “What about the rest of the land?” you might ask. Well, you can easily get a few cows to graze the land AND plant a variety of tropical fruits! Just imagine growing and enjoying your own pineapples and other native tropical fruits.

 

As you have probably noticed, a truly special characteristic of this land is that not only does it have substantial riverfront access, but it also has mountainous terrain! You get the best of both locations – the soothing rushing of the river in the lower parts of the property AND gorgeous mountain views as you go higher up. Since this property is in the jungle-like countryside with few neighbors, you are surrounded by peace and quiet. 

 

The nearest “neighborhood,” a very small town with a cluster of houses, is about 10 minutes away. Drive another 20 minutes and you will reach Palanda.

 

Price: $119,000
