OFF GRID 6 ACRE COFFEE FARM

Asking $325,000 negotiable. Las Lomas de Carazo is a small farm (hacienda) overlooking the Carazo Plateau in south-central Nicaragua Loma means “hillside” and from the front porch of the farm house you can see in the distance the small towns that populate the plateau and an inactive volcano that dominates the landscape to the south. A safe distance to the north you can see an active volcano. The rich soil of “Las Lomas” yields a constant supply of seasonal fruits, vegetables and many beautiful flowering trees and plants. There is always something in bloom. We grow our own coffee on the farm and when in season we have delicious avocados and many other fruits and vegetables. You can also make fruit juices such as ptitahaya and maranon juices All grown on the hacienda. And every day we have fresh eggs from our hen house. . I buy 100lbs of coffee every year from the owner, french roast, awesome coffee

Our winding entrance road is lined with red flowering shrubs that lead to the 6 acre (3.5 manzana) hacienda. The 2325 sqaure foot (216 square meter) farm house is on one level and has three bedrooms, three bathrooms and a large kitchen. The kitchen window overlooks a walled garden which also serves as entry way to the house and garage. A fourth room can serve as an office or extra bedroom. The open dining area connects the kitchen to the the TV area which then opens to our large front porch with its gorgeous views of the Carazo Plateau. A two car garage is connected to the home by a covered walkway and includes a small bodega (shop) and laundry/utility room. A nearby 700 square foot (65 square meter) outbuilding has guard quarters, an equipment storage room, chicken house and coffee processing area. Rain water collected during the rainy season is filtered by a three stage filter system that supplies the home with safe drinking and cooking water. Our solar panel system is augmented with electricity from the local electric company.

The master bedroom has an exterior door that leads to a very picturesque “rancho” with a bar and sitting area where you can enjoy a hot cup of your own coffee in the morning or a cool drink in the afternoon. The nearby town of Jinotepe has a modern grocery store. Within one hour you can drive to the city of Managua, Masaya, Granada and local attractions such as Catarina, Laguna de Aoyo, the Isletas de Mombacho and Lake Nicaragua. The Pacific Ocean is one hour to the West. I buy a 100 lbs from this finca every year, excellent coffee!!
