Altos de Socorro: Hilltop Farm with Expansive Ocean Views

More about this property

Nestled in the cool mountains of Hojancha, this 27-acre property offers a unique opportunity for individuals seeking to create a serene lifestyle harmonized with nature. Its gentle hillside contours present breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean, Gulf of Nicoya, distant volcanos, and the verdant slopes of the surrounding area. The land features a productive orange grove along with various fruit trees, and there is ample space to accommodate horses and smaller livestock if desired. Additionally, there are approximately 8-10 potential building sites suitable for a small permaculture community. The cooler climate here is perfect for fostering an organic garden, which can be quite challenging in the hot coastal lowlands. The property boasts a newly constructed, well-designed 4-bedroom home with elegant teak ceilings and a spacious veranda offering stunning ocean vistas. It is bordered by a year-round stream that provides water to the property and the nearby community of El Socorro. With pumps and a large water tank in place, a consistent and abundant water supply is ensured. Electricity is supplied by the public grid, and high-speed, reliable wireless internet is accessible. El Socorro, part of the Hojancha municipality, is characterized by its close-knit community, annual horse parade, effective local government, low crime rate, and stunning natural landscapes. An increasing number of residents from both abroad and other parts of Costa Rica, seeking refuge from the crowded Central Valley, have contributed to a welcoming and diverse local economy. Located just 40 minutes from Hojancha's center, El Socorro is also within an hour of the tranquil, less-developed Pacific beaches of Carrillo and Camaronal. The area offers access to quality public and private medical clinics, with the regional public hospital in Nicoya conveniently located less than half an hour away.
