3-hectare waterfall farm in Sante Fe

Lots of waterfalls, fruit trees and privacy and yet just a short walk from town. This property is just over 3 hectares ( 8 acres) of land at the outer edge of the town of Santa Fe, Veraguas, Panama (population about 3,000 with a small percentage of non-Panamanians living there).

The land is bordered on 2 sides by a small cascading river which shows that it is steep in many places. It has several different types of structures (cane house, shop/barn, animal pens) totalling almost 5000 sq. ft. of metal roofs. There is a superb view of the mountains and National Park which surrounds the town in three directions.

There are 3 sources of water coming to the property: the municipal tap water, municipal farming water, and the river (which is so clean that the town’s water comes from it). In addition, the area gets over 100 inches of rain a year which can be captured in the large cement cistern on the land.

Up until the late 1990’s the property was used to raise organic hogs and make sausage so there is good infrastructure to the land and some covered buildings including a small very rustic cane house with metal roof. The property also has 3-phase 480-volt electric service (an unusual level of service for heavy machinery from its “sausage factory” days) and is directly on a road that goes right into Santa Fe town.

This land comes with a full legal title. While it is located at the edge of the village of Santa Fe, it lies over a ridge so it is very quiet and feels extremely rural – even the noise from Santa Fe's traditional annual festival is completely blocked – yet it has all the advantages of being part of a small town. It is rare to find a property with all of these services and features within the town limits of Santa Fe.

Santa Fe, in the province of Veraguas, Panama is a small town at an altitude of about 1500ft (460 m). Due to its altitude and unique conditions, it has a very pleasant temperature year-round temperatures range from 75 to  86 daily.  Fruit trees abound. It is about one hour by car from the city of Santiago and 5 hours from Panama City. A new road has been built to the Caribbean Coast which is one hour and thirty minutes from the town of Santa Fe. Santa Fe is situated near the central divide and will likely grow but, because of its location, this property will still feel private and secluded.
