Description

Welcome to "Las Tapias," a stunning 2,836-hectare ranch located in Santo Domingo, Merida. This property is comprised of three distinct land parcels, designated as #01, #02, and #03. While each parcel has separate owners, together they form a magnificent landscape offering an exceptional investment opportunity. Strategically positioned just 10 km from the charming town of Santo Domingo, along the Troncal Apartaderos - Barinas highway, "Las Tapias" is conveniently located approximately 75 km from both the vibrant cities of Merida and Barinas. Access to the ranch is straightforward, directly from the National Highway Apartaderos - Barinas, via a service road that branches into two paths, one for each parcel, ensuring easy and efficient access. The internal roads, primarily dirt and gravel, are generally in good condition, with only a small section needing repair. The slopes of the agricultural areas do not exceed 30%, and the fertile, sandy-loam soils with a slightly acidic character (pH between 5.5 and 6) are suitable for mechanization due to their moderate stoniness. Water abundance is a key feature of "Las Tapias." The internal streams maintain a constant flow throughout the year, decreasing by only 25-30% during dry periods. Additionally, the streams bordering each parcel, fed by lagoons in the Páramo (high-altitude plains), retain their unaltered flow, ensuring reliable water resources. Irrigation systems, including sprinklers and micro-sprinklers, are directly fed from the streams, perfectly complementing the efficient water management for agricultural activities. The ranch includes three houses: the charming "old house," an older structure with adobe walls that is in a state of disrepair; the "new house," constructed with plastered blocks and in fair condition; and a third house currently under construction. There are also two sheds in good condition, offering possibilities for various activities. With a central transformer supplying 110 and 220-volt electricity to all three parcels, the ranch is equipped with the necessary infrastructure to meet modern needs. The Páramo area features scenic lagoons, with 4 in Parcel 01 and 2 in Parcel 02, surrounded by spectacular landscapes, ideal for tourism development, including horseback riding, offering unique experiences to visitors. "Las Tapias" falls under the jurisdiction of the "Sierra Nevada" National Park, with an existing Land Use and Regulation Plan that supports current agricultural, livestock, and tourism activities, as well as the implementation of new, low-environmental-impact activities. With complete topographic surveys and legal documentation, "Las Tapias" presents itself as a unique investment that combines agricultural productivity, sustainable water resources, and tourism potential in an exceptional natural environment.
