HACIENDAS EL PETEN

FINCA JAVA has created a few select opportunities to own your own farm and have it managed for you. It is in the spirit of responsible development that provides employment to the people while preserving the beautiful natural environment in which we grow organic coffee.

This is an organic eco-friendly endeavor. No chemical fertilizer, pesticides or herbicides will be used. The natural flora and fauna will be enhanced by our use. Your neighbors will be on the same program. We plan to provide for all our needs on the farm through organic orchards, beef, poultry, egg production.

  • Haciendas are + 5 Acres Fee Simple With Title Insurance
  • Each Hacienda will be named by Owner
  • All Haciendas are for one residence only
  • House location to be determined (approx. 1 acre)

El PETEN will be a world class destination resort and will include:

    to public educational tours. We are on the current coffee
    route created by INTUR, Nicaragua’s Tourism Institute.

The few coffee Hacienda partnerships will have full use of these facilities. To preserve the integrity of the farm:
