    Are you looking to free yourself from the Matrix and live a more agrarian life? This 15-acre farm in the interior of Puerto Rico (elevation 1500 in the mountains) is for a very specific individual, couple or family who have decided to get out of the Matrix and live a more sustainable existence. Although it’s possible this property will appeal to an investor looking to create an Airbnb with a “tropical oasis feel,” once most see what farm life in the mountains is really like, they realize they’re in over their heads. What makes this farm unique, even among the many farms for sale in Puerto Rico: • First thing is that it’s organic. Most farms on the island have been sprayed with Roundup and pesticides, and have tons of chemical fertilizer in the ground. Not this farm. We use a combination of compost and goat manure to work in harmony with Mother Earth. • Apart from that, all the trees are mature. From day one, you can feed yourself (and if applicable, your family). Fruit trees can take between seven and 15 years to mature. We’ve done the hard work for you! • It’s way off the beaten path. On top of a hill, on a small municipal road that’s not very well traveled, houses aren’t spaced closed to one another in these backwoods. This farm is for someone/folks who like(s) seclusion, quiet and privacy. Once inside the gate, the house is 400 feet away, opening up into a truly sustainable farm where we’ve been raising livestock for the last 15 years. • The farm has a very unique collection of fruit trees from South America, Southeast Asia, West Africa and The Caribbean. • It boasts one of the largest collections of sustainable bamboo from South America and Southeast Asia on the island. • It’s already set up to house livestock humanely. There are also hurricane shelters under the house. Some specs you’ll want to know: • The farm is 15 acres, although we only farm on 7.5. We’ve let the rest return to Mother Earth. • It’s in the mountains, so expect vertical farming. If you’re looking to get into shape or you are already in excellent shape, this is the farm for you. But don’t let this scare you. We came here having worked behind desks the previous 20 years. • The house upstairs has 1 bedroom, which may seem small but it’s anything but. It’s an open-floor plan. No walls to stop the airflow or the energy from flowing freely in the living room, kitchen and dining room. The bedroom is quite large, separated by a halfway to allow for a separate office without encroaching on the bedroom. The bathroom is very large. Just check it out. The shower was constructed in such a way that no door or shower curtain is needed. The entire house is wheelchair accessible. • Downstairs is a separate dwelling containing an unfinished apartment of two bedrooms, a kitchen, bathroom and living room. And while it’s not finished, it’s already plumbed for hot water, which is not common in Puerto Rico. • The farm has over 90 fruit trees, along with 30 cacao trees and a huge collection of sustainable bamboo (nine types for a variety of uses). • The title is clean. We are the only owners; there are no heirs. Who this property is for: • Folks who are ready to kick the Material World to the curb and live a very different existence • Someone who’s ready to eat off the land and who’s tired of worrying about toxicity found in store-bought food • People who aren’t afraid of work. Farming in the tropics isn’t the same as farming in a temperate climate. However, we are eco-organic sustainability consultants and can mentor you to get where we are with our knowledge and experience. Reach out today to schedule a showing. We will ask you for proof of funds as this is a cash sale. Banking in Puerto Rico isn’t the same as in the States and we’ve been down this road with other potential buyers. This is an “as is” property. We can consider seller financing for a portion of the sale. Inquire about them.
