Promised Land PropertiesWould you like to live near Mighty Rivers Eco-farm?      While naming our property management project, we remember our pioneering days at Mighty Rivers when Mother Lapp affectionately referred to Costa Rica as “the promised land.” Indeed, three generations of Lapps settled here, adopting the land and loving its people and freedom. Seven years ago Mother (Barbara P. Lapp) was laid to rest a few miles from the farm, beneath the shadow of several tall royal palm trees. We remember her struggle to live and her passion to serve and love. We are assured that her warm spirit still lives and shines upon us, in the land she had adopted. Most of all we love the connotation of “Promised Land” as being a condition of our hearts – a place of rest -that calls us out of the kingdoms of this world, and causes us to love, work and live in harmony with people and nature. Since our settlement in the hillsides of La Alegria de Siquirres, people from various parts of the world have joined us in conservation and permaculture activities that make the La Alegria neighborhood a model for healthy, tropical living. We truly appreciate the freedom, adventure and beauty that the Caribbean coast has to offer. If you want to stake out a place to call your own, either for retirement, part time residence or a full-fledged homestead, we can help you get started. Please note that here in Costa Rica we measure land by the hectare and square meter. There are 2.4 acres in a hectare, and 10,000 square meters in a hectare. Most of the properties we contract fall into either homestead, eco-developement or preservation catagories. Homestead properties range from about 1 to 20 hectares, suited for year around gardening and animal husbandry. Eco-development properties are suited for dividing into lots and creating lodges or residences. (Property here is almost tax free, and there are few building restrictions.) Preservation properties are less expensive per hectare and much larger, suited for putting into some type of nature preservation or reforestation program, which in turn reimburses the owner for keeping the land pristine and undeveloped.

Northwest of the mountain range that is home to Mighty Rivers Eco-farm, there is a very rural area known as Argentina. So, let's just call this 200 square meter home Argentina. The home sets in a 1.5 acre, or 6,000 meter lot, accessible by an easy 5 minute gravel road drive to a larger town, Pocora which is on Limon Highway 32.
Argentina has a living room, laundry room, dining room, office, 4 bedrooms and 2 baths. The home is surrounded by a large lawn and set back about 75 meters from the road. Argentina is great for the settler who wants to live a little closer to San Jose, conveniences in Guapiles (twenty minute drive), main airport, etc. It's also great for the home gardener who enjoys fresh air, freedom from city life and ice cream at Mighty Rivers Eco-farm!!!

Twin Waters Farm is our newest and most exicting listing. This is an opportunity to get a piece of the “Rich Coast” in a wholesome, somewhat remote area a few miles into the mountain from Mighty Rivers. We are selling this property for a friend, and we are hoping to attract a buyer who can appreciate Twin Water’s outstanding benefits as a conservation spot, while also utilizing its potential for eco-development of several homes or a lodge, etc.
Twin Waters is located about 10 minutes from blacktop road, near Alegria, Limon Province. The Perla River borders one end of the property. It has electric and mountain water. Telephone is expected, with cellular service right now. This location has excellent hydro and solar energy potential. A stream is only about 100 meters back from public road. Land is rolling but not steep. The mix of pasture and woodland is beautiful. The back parts of the property are accessible via trails, which can be upgraded to a driveway. The property fronts on a decent gravel road, accessible year around We have many photos which I can send on request. Here are some principle details of Twin Waters: Area: 8 hectares (19.2 acres) Elevation: 400 meters, approx, above sea level. Climate: Tropical. Afternoon showers are common. Average temperature is mid 80s F, cool nights. Price: $5 mill Costa Rican Colones. (at current exchange rate this is $68,965) I believe this to be a reasonable price, for the quality and quantity of land being offered. However, the owner may accept offers.
