Mountain home with fireplace in Jarabacoa

If what you miss is cool mountain air, this is the house for you. It sits about 10 minutes from downtown Jarabacoa (example data), on a paved road that climbs to a small cluster of country homes. It has 150 m² of living space (example data) built in wood and stone, three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a fireplace in the living room and a long veranda facing the valley.

The lot measures 1,400 m² (example data) and includes avocado and orange trees, a small vegetable garden and room to park several cars.

Life here

Jarabacoa enjoys cool weather most of the year, with rivers, waterfalls and trails for hiking or mountain biking. In town you will find supermarkets, clinics and schools. Santiago is under an hour away (example data) and Santo Domingo about 2 hours (example data).

Rental potential

Mountain homes rent well on long weekends, Easter week and Christmas, mostly to families from Santo Domingo. The estimated gross yield is about 5.6% a year (example data) — lower than on the coast, but with less competition. It is only an estimate.
