Set in the hills of El Alto, about 30 minutes from the town center of Santa Fe, this titled property offers a rare opportunity to live immersed in nature while running a small-scale, fully operational coffee farm. With approximately 22,754 m² of land and more than 3,000 coffee plants - including Arabica, Geisha, and Catuai varieties - this farmstead blends homesteading potential with a meaningful agricultural lifestyle.

The house is a well-built, comfortable three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bathroom home, estimated at around 230 m². It has been thoughtfully renovated to create a more modern farmhouse feel, blending rustic charm with clean updates. Local hardwood accents, stone details, and ample windows create a warm and welcoming atmosphere. There’s also a unique skylight in both the kitchen and main bathroom, bringing in natural light throughout the day.

One of the home’s highlights is a second-floor bedroom known as “the tower.” This room offers exceptional views and a quiet retreat, while its private bathroom is located just below on the first floor. Surrounding the house is a large, wrap-around terrace where you can relax and enjoy the sights and sounds of the surrounding forest and birdlife.

The property is fully off-grid, with a solar panel system in place. One system is dedicated to powering the refrigerator and a second for the home’s lighting and other essentials. The land includes several fresh water springs and two small creeks, ensuring ample water supply for both the household and the farm. There is also a caretaker’s house on-site, currently used for storage, which could easily be adapted for other uses.

The access road to the property runs through El Alto and requires a 4x4 vehicle. While the final 15 minutes is a dirt road, ongoing roadwork and maintenance in the area have made the drive increasingly manageable. At the time of this listing, heavy machinery was actively improving the route.

For coffee enthusiasts, the infrastructure is in place: there are drying racks and storage facilities, meaning the only missing piece is the roasting equipment. The farm is currently producing and includes both mature and newly planted trees (from the last 3 years). The coffee has a rich and well-regarded flavor profile, and the previous owners even hosted guided coffee tours on-site.

At around 700 meters above sea level, this elevation supports exceptional biodiversity. It’s a true haven for bird lovers, with a wide range of species regularly visiting the property. The land itself is lush, shaded by native trees, and ideal for those seeking a homestead lifestyle with the added reward of growing and harvesting your own coffee. While it’s not intended for commercial-scale production, the farm offers plenty of options for small-batch sales, eco-tourism, or simply personal use.

This is the kind of place for someone looking to slow down, reconnect with nature, and live with purpose - all while being surrounded by the peace and beauty of the Veraguas highlands.
