We bought near Monteria. A hour from the coast. Its perfectly flat and square. You can see every inch of it from your house. I looked at over 50 properties all over Colombia most the land is hilly and not usable. So you have to buy twice the property
Oh nice! Yea I am still looking.. i might head to look near san Augustine I think it's a bit flatter there too . But Yea here in Antioquia it's so mountainous.. which I love but difficult. Congrats on your property!!
@@SaraBurdick I should add if anyone is looking for a farm that you need to see the property deep in the rainy season to see if it's under water. Or deep into the dry season to see if it's still green and can sustain cattle and animals. It's hit and miss in most cases. Where I am near Cenagad de Oro there's lots of good land but 30 minutes away in any direction it's not always the case especially as you get closer to Monteria or the coast.
Just ran across this video as I'm an American and my wife is Colombian, from Bogotá. She can't come to the USA for at least 2-3 more years due to a visa fiasco we are dealing with. I'll be checking out your other videos
as someone who owns two properties in colombia a house and finca i'm interested in selling soon and i would like to know what do buyers like yourself look for in fincas ?
Sara, did you purchase that (or another finca) and if so, where? I'm trying to find a finca for sale with at least 200 hectares, but not having much success finding a broker or website that lists such property. I'd like to be in the general area from Pereira or Risaralda. I'd appreciate any suggestions or recommendations. Thanks.
no i didnt end up buying that one.. it was a bit too remote for me. there is not much online, i recommend local facebook groups.. and the best way is to visit the town you want to live in and ask around.. its a very word of mouth country!
So pretty! Where is it? Can you get financials for the coffee and plantain side of the finca? We visited a not too small farm near Armenia owned by an expat. He said even with record high coffee prices this year, he has negative cash flow.
The coffee growers always have negative cash flow, they are one of the most nefarious guilds in the country, without the authorization of the Colombian Federation of Coffee Growers you cannot move a single sack for distribution, they are good at exposing losses but always keep their profits hidden, when there is a crisis...which is almost always when they protest and form a union to ask for subsidies, they are a bottomless barrel.
I would honestly suggest that you look for something way higher; I mean in the mountain high Colombia (Boyaca or Cundinamarca); where you will find a farm that does not look so tropical, but you would get ammenities, a much better weather, no mosquitoes, and I can assure you would get like a 2 centuries old adobe house with red shingles in there. It's obviously more expenssive, but definetly much more worthy to you, safer and I would say prettier.
Rural Colombia is more than dangerous, if you want to live here stick to gated communities with 24 hour security. As for the cost, it might be your life.
The scenary in this looks amazing. Like something out of a wall paper
The land here is incredible! Thank u for watching

@@SaraBurdick mostly. I'm in the USA working at the moment.

How did you go about finding this
Asking around.. and facebook marketplace.. but driving and talking to people is best!
@@SaraBurdick I want a place out just like this . Do you have social media to get in touch
Looks nice. Thank you for sharing. 😊
Thank you for watching:)

Word of mouth and driving around. Where are your fincas?
What part of colombia?

@@SaraBurdick Thanks Sara. I'm checking out some contacts and hopefully I'll find a nice 200+ hectare finca within an hour (at the most) from Pereira.
@@dennisdean3925 yes I hope you do!
This looks very beautiful. which part of Colombia is this?
Outside of medellin.. near granada

Hi. Why especially Colombia?
I love it here
I would honestly suggest that you look for something way higher; I mean in the mountain high Colombia (Boyaca or Cundinamarca); where you will find a farm that does not look so tropical, but you would get ammenities, a much better weather, no mosquitoes, and I can assure you would get like a 2 centuries old adobe house with red shingles in there. It's obviously more expenssive, but definetly much more worthy to you, safer and I would say prettier.
So I have actually been looking in cundinamarca, boyacá and Santander area.. I think it is a better area to buy as well..and yes more $$ but worth it.
What does something like this cost
It was 27k usd
Rural Colombia is more than dangerous, if you want to live here stick to gated communities with 24 hour security. As for the cost, it might be your life.
bonito
Gracias
What is the asking price for such a farm? THe land is beautiful.
Its is amazing.. 30k USD... but negotiable.. i did not purchase it so its available:)
Hy i want help ur toors and programes. U guide me?
I don't offer tours but I can give you advice
Good place for tigers and leopards...😝😝👍👍👍👍♥️
Hahhaah noooo they would eat the chickens:)
Sure life has changed for you since you were a nurse in the USA. Make use of local and legal advice if you really intend to buy property.
Yes it has.. i will.. i have a lawyer here i use for everything:) he is awesome.
Love from Pakistan🇵🇰
If you buy this farm I’d like to be your first export customer for coffee beans. I’d build the business around your story.
Ooohhhh i will keep you updated.. i think i would need more coffee trees for that!¡ but sounds amazing
risk of being eaten by a giant snake in the night
Yea there are snakes here
Where is your bodyguard and his ak 47?
Noooo
Awesome! Just please loose the annoying stock TH-cam music. Like nails on a chalk board for people with discerning tastes for videos.
Ok! I prefer no music but i will look for better! Thank you
@@SaraBurdick sorry, haha. Epidemic Sound is very good.
