Cattle farm or private retreat

High in the hills of Caldera, Chiriquí, at an average elevation of 1,350 meters above sea level, this 55-hectare farm offers the rare combination of a working cattle ranch and a truly private hideaway. The property consists of two titled lots and lies about 6 km from the paved road, roughly a 45-minute drive on a gravel and dirt track. A 4x4 is required, and the effort is rewarded with cool mountain air, wide views and absolute quiet. The land is fully fenced with barbed wire and divided into four paddocks of well-kept improved pasture, currently used for fattening cattle. The terrain is varied, with about half rolling and half steep, and rises from 1,161 meters in the lower area to 1,450 meters at the top. Internal roads and trails make it easy to move around the property, whether on foot, on horseback or by vehicle. A corral and cattle chute are already in place for the day-to-day work with livestock. Water is one of the property’s great strengths. Two natural springs provide year-round water, which flows by gravity to the house. The water intake is also suitable for generating electricity, and solar panels are a further option for anyone who wants to power a future home. Cell-phone reception is available on the lower part of the farm, while the upper part remains pleasantly undisturbed, ideal for those who truly want to disconnect. A simple wooden house with three bedrooms, a separate kitchen house and a newly built stone house with shower and toilet are ready for your workers, or for you while you plan and build your dream home. Mature orange and lemon trees surround the buildings, and the setting is reminiscent of the Swiss Alps. Coffee plants of the Obatá and Catuaí varieties are also growing on the property, giving you a head start if you would like to develop a small coffee project.
