Re: How big is a tarea?
I am not one hundred percent sure of these figures (calculated it from a real estate advertisement for the DR) but they should give you a general idea.
15.95 tareas = hectare
7.25 tareas = acre
And, I think, 629 sq. meters = tarea.
Hope this helps.

Re: How big is a tarea?
A tarea is the traditional unit of land area in the Dominican Republic and some parts of Central America, generally equal to 900 square varas, so it is the area of a square 30 varas (about 25.05 meters) on a side. In the Dominican Republic, the tarea equals about 628 square meters or 751 square yards; this is 0.0628 hectare or 0.155 acre. The Spanish word tarea means a task or job, so this unit, like many land area units, originated as the area which could be "worked" in a given time.

About 1/6 acre here in the U.S. Most of our homes here where I'm at in the Chicago area are somewhat larger, about 1/4 acre. If I remember correctly, an acre consists of about 44,000 square feet.

Re: How big is a tarea?-To Ms.Sarah
Well I paid about 12,500RD per tarea. A little more than the high end you mention. However, I am very pleased with the location both visually (coconut palms, river, next door to my friends, etc) and business wise (it's a corner lot just off the highway, 1 mile to the east of Airport Maria Montez, about 3 miles east of Barahona). I don't feel like I've been ripped off by any means. I have plenty of space to build my house and a small business. A dream come true - for real!
