Overview
Agroforestry Farm with Conservation Easement
This 9.1-cuerda (approximately 8.85-acre) farm is located in Las Marías/Añasco, strategically positioned 15 minutes from downtown Las Marías and 20 minutes from Añasco, San Sebastián, and Mayagüez. The property features sweeping views of Añasco and Mayagüez Bay. Protected under a conservation easement in partnership with Para la Naturaleza, the farm actively produces through sustainable agroforestry practices. The land is planted with over 600 fine-flavor cocoa trees, already in full production, along with a variety of tropical fruits, spices, and edible crops, including cinnamon, allspice, guava, pineapple, cassava, taro, oranges, grapefruit, bananas, plantains, acerola, starfruit, soursop, blackberry, and tropical flowers. Infrastructure includes an off-grid 40-ft container home powered by solar and supplied by 4 rainwater collection cisterns. The interior features a full kitchen with a stove and oven, refrigerator, ceiling fans, one queen bed, and one full bed. Additional features include two forest platforms prepared for camping or eco-glamping, a gazebo with a firepit and rustic outdoor kitchen, an additional bathroom and storage structure above a septic tank, and a galvalume garage with unused agricultural equipment, including a 4x4 diesel mini digger, a 4x4 diesel UTV, and a wood chipper adapted for use with the digger. The property is registered with the Puerto Rico Department of Agriculture, Farm Service Agency, and NRCS, and actively producing under an agroforestry model that integrates conservation and farming. It is suited for eco-conscious investors, agro-tourism projects, sustainable retreats, or anyone looking to steward productive land within a protected natural setting.
