Exterior features:
The farms has a lake and water mirrors, water well, water springs, sheepfold, the farm is also suitable as cattle farm and organic farming. The farm holds prime forest with several water springs and magnificent rivers. The farm`s prime forest is part of the Monteverde Mountain Range which gives life to thousands of varieties of wildlife and exotic species of birds and tropical plants. Straddling the Continental Divide at 4,662 feet (1,440 m) above sea level and set within an almost mythic cloud forest, Monteverde is truly one of Costa Rica's most remarkable natural jewels.
'Often taking the form of fog, these clouds hover around the upper canopy of the forest before condensing onto the leaves of trees and dripping onto the plants below.
Understandably, the sun has a hard time breaking through this thick veil of clouds. This causes a slower rate of evaporation and thus provides the plants with a bounty of life-giving moisture. This moisture helps to promote a huge amount of biodiversity, particularly within the type of plants known as epiphytes.
These plants grow on other plants (including trees) non-parasitically, collecting their moisture and nutrients from the air, rain, and debris that surround them. Common examples include lichens, orchids and bromeliads, all of which are abundant in Monteverde. Cloud forests also tend to host a large number of endemic species, as their unique climates and specialized ecosystems create habitats that are not found anywhere else on Earth.'
The farm is visited by literally hundreds of exotic birds, thanks to its closeness to the Monteverde Mountain Range. The quetzal is one of them and the area is visited regularly by tourists looking to see the beautiful quetzals relaxing on the aguacatillo trees.
The farm is located at just 25 minutes distance from the city of San Ramon de Alajuela. The drive is very nice and paved, with only a couple of kilometers of gravel road just before reaching the farm.
