Ranch for sale in Sosua
If you want to escape from the pressures and stresses of daily Western life, and be ‘one with nature’ then this is the place for you. Set in the stunningly beautiful mountains above the town of Sosua is this ‘special’ place that took the owner five years to find after searching the world. The ranch has a lovely river running through the 200 acres of hills and green pasture that the owner rides each day. The ocean views from the top of the hills are well worth the effort and a road has already been mapped if the new owner wishes to have a villa with mountain and ocean views.
The present ranch house is set in the valley and was designed and built by the owner whose love of the land is reflected in this Cana roofed wooden home that is cool in the endless hot Summer Dominican days. The main feature is the raised wooden porch that encircles the whole building. This is the place to sit and admire the changing colors of the countryside or watch the horses running free in the pastures. The present owner decided to share his passion for this land by teaching people to ride the hills, valleys and river beds. He then built a series of accessible foot paths to two waterfalls and lakes below where visitors can swim and dive in the clear river water. He even installed a zip line with safety harness from the highest waterfall for the adventurous and thrill seeking visitors. For those less adventurous they can simply admire from a purpose built hut the beauty of the scene, especially around 2pm when the sun catches the full glory of the waterfall cascading to the lake below. The next phase is to build the tree houses in the chosen trees along the river bank. Many guests come here for the tranquillity, and the opportunity to discover themselves. The ranch lends itself to providing a number of discreet Cana roofed cabins cantered on the already built meeting place complete with solar power, water, and bathroom.
The main house could also become a focal point, a place to meet and talk on the porch while sitting back and watching the clear night sky and galaxy of stars. The sheer beauty of the land was the first thing that attracted the owner but the generosity of spirit of the local people who ask for nothing but give everything completely captivated him.
This ranch is ideal for anyone who wants the peace and tranquillity, but it has such potential as a retreat for those in the major cities who need to reenergize themselves. The International Airport of Puerto Plata is forty minutes away of which thirty minutes is through the ever changing mountains and countryside. The popular resort of Sosua with its four sandy beaches, restaurants and shops is also only fifty minutes away and beyond is Cabarete ‘The Adventure Sports Capital of the Caribbean.’
