Hacienda Colca is a historical estate that goes back to the 1700s and is just minutes from the rural mountain town of Gonzanamá. This 270-hectare (667-acre) estate is well-known throughout the province as a high-class dairy producing farm.
More than half of the 270 hectares is mostly flat or slightly sloped. Currently these flatter areas are being used as pasture land for dairy cows, but they are completely usable for other things as well. The remainder of the land is mountainous with old growth trees. In these forested areas you will find many cedar, pine and eucalyptus trees which are valuable resources to the land. There are two streams flowing through the property, three springs, and a waterfall. Five water reservoir tanks hold water in reserve for the farm’s use.
The main house is located in a cluster with a farmhand residence and a shelter for the cows. The main and farmhand houses need some restoration to make them more livable. There is also another house about a kilometer away from the main house which is in better shape. You must remember, this is a historical hacienda, so some of these buildings are over decades old!
A variety of mature fruit trees are also found on the property such as oranges, avocados, limes, prickly pears, and chirimoyas. The main road to Gonzanamá intersects the property, so you can access other parts of the property more easily this way. It is conveniently located a couple minutes from the main paved road and 15 minutes from Gonzanamá.
