Fruit Haven 3
Fruit Haven 3 (FH3) is a 66.4 hectare (164 acre) farmland, up the hill past Fruit Haven 4, and next to Fruit Haven 8 and 7, on top of the mountain ridge. It is ideal for people who prefer remoteness and don’t mind a 15-20 minute ATV drive on Fruit Haven Road to arrive at the property (as well as generally higher yearly budgets to maintain the road). There is internet, running water, and solar power in the FH3 community area and in some of the private homestead lots (up to the owners to set up their own power and internet, the water is communal however it needs maintenance on occation too). There are multiple owners living in their cabins on the property, with guests renting the rooms in the FH3 community house. There is a large stream running along the north boundary, with a nice waterfall that has a pool underneath which is fun to swim and bathe in.
To live at this property it would be best to have a personal vehicle like a quad. We can easily find 200-250cc quad ATVs for Fruit Haven 3 owners. Used they can cost around $1500-$2500 depending on brand, condition, and accessories. We can also source used pickup trucks, jeeps, and 4×4 ATVs/UTVs. Our private Fruit Haven road can already be accessed to the paved road via gravel road with some streams along the way that any off road capable vehicles can currently access as of 2024.
Elevation and Climate
The elevation is 1000-1050m elevation on average. We are 3 degrees from the equator. This results in annual average daytime temps of around 24-28 and nighttime of 16-20. Tropical fruits that will grow well here: Jackfruit, mangosteen, banana, papaya, white sapote, mysore raspberry, citrus, durio graveolens and zibethinus hybrid, mangifera odorata and mangifera caesia, lychee, and many others.
The elevation on Fruit Haven 3 is just a bit too high for durio zibethinus / other lowland durians, and marang, for example. People who want to grow these fruits may wish to check out Fruit Haven 4 at 760-850m elevation.
