Machaca Camp Area , Emeri Grove, Toledo,, Toledo District

This beautiful, unique Teak and Cacao farm consists of 299.19 acres of land situated along Machaca Creek (Machaca Camp Area) in Toledo. 60 acres have 23 to 24-year-old Teak trees on it, another 20 acres have 8-to 10 and 11-year-old Teak and Mahogany trees planted. 66 acres have 500 Cacao Trees per acre on it, which are all producing. The property is well maintained in an environmentally responsible manner.The teak, being 24 years old, could be harvested in part or in its entirety now, or could continue to grow as an investment. The logs can either be loaded on the farm into containers for export or sawn on site into squared timber for the domestic or foreign market.With mature teak and mahogany trees, and new cocoa trees in production, the farm is expected to make a profit within the next 2 years. Profits can be expected at hardwood harvesting time now that the teak is 24-year-old.The Machaca Creek provides an abundant supply of water for irrigation. The Plantation is well maintained by a crew of 2 employees including a Resident Manager. After the teak is harvested, the farm would be ideal for a mix of sustainable agroforestry crops which might include various spice trees and other hardwood trees for eventual harvest. The warm, semi-arid climate is ideal for cash crop like Bananas, Papaya, Mango, coconuts and citrus fruits-all of which are currently grown in the area. With the wooded corridors which run throughout the farm and provide habitat for endangered wildlife including, agouti, coatimundi, ocelots, tayra and monkeys, ecotourism or conservation would be an excellent possibility.Toledo is the little hidden gems for the avid nature lover, fisherman, (especially world-class fly fishing), adventurous explorer and its the culture and chocolate capital of the Toledo district.The age and health of shareholders without a new generations interest in farming is the main reason for selling.
