La Perla Horse Farm/Handyman Special
|
|
Located in a quiet, remote area about three miles away from the lights of town, this serene 28-acre nature lover’s paradise is accessed by a scenic paved road. There is paved road access all the way to town. Before storm damage interrupted activity, this was the site of an active horse-breeding ranch. Animals thrive here because of the comfortable flat ground, fertile soil and gently funneled, indirect winds. There is a large pond that is perfect for the culture of Tilapia, a well, fences, and giant old sheltering shade trees on the estate. As a bonus, there is a two-story house with guest cottage that is in need of restoration. City water, electricity and telephone are on site. The first levels of the structures are built of concrete and the second floor is wood and plaster. There is a concrete cistern under the house for fresh water storage in addition to the state utilities. |

This location is among the very best on Culebra for growing trees, flowers and fruits because the soil is rich, the land is only slightly sloping, and the ever-present trade winds are diffused to just the right degree by the surrounding green hills. A ¾ mile walk beyond the property on a rustic trail takes a hiker or horseback rider to the surf’s edge on the incomparable Brava Beach where the surroundings are the same as Christopher Columbus found them. |
|
This is a very worthwhile opportunity for a buyer seeking a private and peaceful setting for tourism use or for raising horses or other animals or for cultivating trees and flowers and vegetables.
