| This property borders our project "Rancho Santa Cruz" and shares the same entrance from the main road. Therefore with your neighbors at Santa Cruz, you will also have 24/7 security available because neighbors "in these parts", as in most rural areas, look out for and take care of each other. Additionally, besides being an extremely safe and secure region, properties of this size always have several, full-time, live-in staff so "security" is very rarely, if ever, an issue. Note: Not to complicate matters but we, at ... www.YucatanRanchFarmandHome.com ...are also the owners/developers of Rancho Santa Cruz next door to Rancho Roca listed above. Santa Cruz is also for sale but our goal is not to sell Santa Cruz as we are fully committed to and moving ahead on our projects. Our family/co-investors were however concerned, after the untimely dive in the US economy (and temporarily, my personal investment funds, as a result), that we/they might, at some point, take a loss that we could not afford and so we have put Rancho Santa Cruz on the market for what we have in it while we meantime work to recoup our start-up capital to continue.... That, as you may have read by now, on our site, is actually how and why YucatanRanchFarmandHome.com came into being in the first place. In order for us to continue developing Rancho Santa Cruz therefore, we have, besides our listing here, prepared an ad on www.Viviun.com, (http://www.viviun.com/AD-118731/ ), with the intention of selling up to 10 building parcels ...or "Ranchitos" that we are for now making available very inexpensively and with a number of amenities and advantages to potential buyers which we think are unique. This model of course could also be employed on a similar or much grander scale at Rancho Roca or even combined with the efforts at Rancho Santa Cruz. We are open to discuss potentially mutual and advantageous arrangements. How does Rancho Santa Cruz potentially affect the new owners of Rancho Roca you ask? Number one, we would be committed to helping the new buyers get established, make improvements, design and build their facilities and/or houses, and arrange for and help hire laborers, contractors, engineers, and agricultural and livestock experts. From electrical installation to fencing to home construction, to planting, harvesting, and marketing cash crops,...to simply translating and/or arranging for management functions on the rancho, we would and can be available. Whether we sell just a few more parcels or we sell the entire ranch, we have no doubt that the usual neighborly relationship and spirit of cooperation will be available to the new owners of Rancho Roca. With the progress we are seeing almost daily now, it is fast becoming very likely that we will soon have the capital we need to take Rancho Santa Cruz, as a whole property, off the market, and therefore will be available to join forces at some level with the new buyers at Rancho Roca. Electricity: Right now the power lines from the road have been installed as far as the buildings and corals of Rancho Santa Cruz, approximately 1 km from the entry to Rancho Roca. If you, as a potential buyer, are interested in running power to Rancho Roca, your only option is to connect to and extend the privately owned power lines on Rancho Santa Cruz. A big advantage for buyers right now (besides the incredible Dollar/Peso exchange rates!) is that Rancho Santa Cruz will not charge the new buyers of Rancho Roca to hook up to our power lines thus otherwise enabling us to recoup some of the initial cost of the first kilometer of our installation as is usually the case. Given today´s costs, we estimate that should be a minimum savings of at least $6K-$8K or more to the new owners...right now. I say, "right now" because if Rancho Santa Cruz does sell before Rancho Roca, we have no way of knowing if the next owners will be in a position or be disposed to a no-fee hook-up. By the way, we have estimated (subject to confirmation) that running power an additional kilometer from our transformer to the property line of Rancho Roca would cost approximately $12,000.00 US (approximately 1km w/1 pole per 100 meters) plus $3,000.00 for a substation and 45 kva transformer. This would provide 3-phase electricity (110v,220v,330v,) for several homes, a shop, a barn, and an extensive, in-ground, irrigation system. Additional costs would of course accrue to run the power from the property line to the intended location of homes, out-buildings, and irrigation facilities. In this case, and using the existing facilities as an example for estimating, we would add an additional 200-300 meters of run or an additional 2-3 or possibly four poles at $1200.00 each/100meters of run.

| Investment opportunity: We have several investors interested in purchasing and incorporating part of Rancho Roca while also investing in the commercial side of our Neem Plantation at Rancho Santa Cruz next door. As such, they have proposed the following: Sub-divide Rancho Roca into two parcels. Parcel one ($115K US) would include the 100 acres nearest the main entry, two wells, the cenote, the cattle corrals, and the two semi-completed existing houses. Parcel #1 would be deeded and owned outright by the new owner. Parcel #2: The investors would incorporate and purchase parcel #2 (240 acres) retaining 51% ownership and deeding back in shares, 49% ownership to the buyer of parcel #1. The owner of Parcel #1 would have an opportunity therefore to own 49% of the total shares of Parcel #2, and...share in the profits (after costs) of parcel #2 while also having recreational access not only to his/her own 100 acres but also the 240 acres of parcel #2 ...PLUS ...the additional (95% of) 255 acres of Rancho Santa Cruz. Investors would put up the necessary development capital, arrange for government assistance, and manage and market the various products, while the owner of Parcel #1 would be free to enjoy the entire rancho, share in the profits, but have no management pressure or additional investment requirements in Parcel #2. Please contact us directly for further information on this and any other of the properties we are offering. Thank you! |
| Below are photos of the new access road currently under construction between Ranchos Roca and and Santa Cruz. This entrance will be for the exclusive use of both ranchos. Below: Road building Yucatecan style. This is a very labor intensive, sometimes grueling (depending upon temps/time of year) effort. First they clear mostly undergrowth, and in this case gratefully, just a few trees in the road-path, up to five meters wide along the fence/property line. Next they remove tree roots and break, by hand, rocks and boulders in the path which are then used as the road base. When this process is completed, dump trucks carrying 3 metric tons per load deliver crushed rock which will provide the permanent, smooth finish and , year-round access to the users. Here below, most of the clearing has been accomplished. In process is the removal of roots and the laying of the rock base. The entire almost 500 meter road will be ready for final finish by early January, 2009. |
