Land Size!

Maybe somebody on board can help you with information, but most of us who live on North Coast are more familiar with Puerto Plata to Rio San Juan. Farm land in Monte Cristi should be very cheap in comparison.
As far as I know, "tarea" doesn't have an English translation other than, as Escott told you, about 1/7th of an acre.
biggest qualification is how big a piece you are buying. Land that is .40 per m2 in 200,000 quantity is less than 629 which may be 20x-40x that price.drvisitor said:
It is also a matter of multiplication to figure out how many m2 you have. It can be any shape.
Not sure what you want an example of. You multiply the the dimentions and you get square footage or meters or yards. Doesn't have to be square or rectangle and it can even be round although the math is more difficult.
Sometime land is separated by rivers, cliffs and other natural boundries so they are NOT square.
100 Tarea is 62900 m2. You will pay less when you buy 100 tarea than if you bought just one per tarea. Larger the parcel the less the price.
Hope this helps

He he..we got a live one here
only IF you don't buy a traffic circle or a "pie" shaped" tarea. On the other hand instead of square meters you could buy rounded meters. There're cheaper but they come on the market and sell quickly.

When I was in DR in July, someone bought each tarea at RD$18,000. I met him in the Province of Monte Cristi. I don't know where he bought the tarea at (wasn't significant to me at the time) and I don't remember exactly how many he bought (I know he bought a lot).
Does RD$18,000/tarea sound cheap compared to the areas you guys are familiar with?

John-what did you start here??
Rounded meters were once sold by a guy who sold a very famous bridge. Oh, what was the name of that bridge?? Anyway Escott can probably give you the math on rounded meters. Hurry, he might be out there right now trying to buy some of them.

I don't know much about the math-I only know rounded meters sell very fast, especially in the winter when the tourist flock to the Dom. Rep.drvisitor said:

Let's cut the crappo! 
A tarea is part of the old way to measure land in the DR. Just like Caballerías is the usid used in Cuba and other places.
Look, at 629 sq mts per tqrea, we usually figure 6 tareas to the acre. 15.9 tareas is considered a hectare (10,000 sq meters) and 2.5 acres = a hectare.)
Any parcel of land in the DR is measures in areas, and hectares on the official documents.. However, in most land deals, people talk about "tareas."
$18,000 pesos for land in Monte cristi is huge!! It had better be irrigated prime farm land. Preferible\y rice farms....and then it is still dear.
The way to check for prices it to ask around in the area. See what other lands are selling for....Only PIB, on this board, could find out from her family the approximate price of a parcel of land in that area...
The rest are guessing.
