It would really help to know where you are looking and how big a finca you want.

Do you require street water, electricity, phone?
Should it be flat? Have a nice view? Distance from town? neighbors?
Are you looking for a something cheap or something really special?
Are you going to live on the property? raise cattle? goats? fruit? garden?

I have a small finca (18 tareas) on a hill with a nice ocean view, with a spring on property. It is about 4 miles out of town (Cabrera) on an unpaved road. It has some oranges (mostly the sour ones) and lemon on it. It isnt really on the market but I would consider selling it as it is too small for my needs. I can make pictures availible.

shadley000@aol.com if you want to discuss this offline....

I thought that an acre=45,000sq.ft.?

By my calculations your 18 tareas would be 42,746 sq.ft.,a little smaller than 1 acre.I guess that is why the titles always say;18 tareas,mas o menus!CRISCO

Criss - an acre is 208 ft. x 208 ft., so actually 18 tareas is slightly more than an acre. (Hillbilly Charlie)

How big is an acre?

An acre still is and always has been 43,560 square feet (or 4,840 square yards or 4046.856 square meters). When I worked in the DR, we always used the "ballpark" figure of 6.5 tareas per acre when estimating farm sizes.

That seems to be about right. 4046.856/629 = 6.433 tareas per acre. shadley000's 18 tarea parcel would contain about 2.8 US acres more or less.

A note to Carmen

Primero: Una tarea tiene 629 metros cuadrados
Un hectarea tiene 10,000 metros cuadrados
Por lo tanto, un hectarea tiene algo m?s que 15 tareas.(15.89)
Un hectarea es equivalente a 2.47 acres, y generalmente, aqu?, hablamos de 6 tareas por acre...

Los t?tulos de tierra siempre hablan de Hectareas y ?reas...para describir la cantidad de tierra.

Ser?a mejor que tu nos dice donde piensas a vivir, pues ese dato es primordial para poder ayudarte.

Saludos
