Eco-friendly
Latvia can provide more than you'd ever expect when it comes to buying a
dream vacation home or investment land or property. Latvia brings the
wonders of nature together with gorgeous sandy beaches, thriving green
forests, and acre after acre of untouched fertile lands. Everything about
Latvia promises an eco-friendly place to live and work. Tourists are amazed
by the country's beauty; and many retirees and
real estate investors long to live there.
Known as the "heart of the Baltics," Latvia is beautifully situated along
the Baltic Sea. The country is comprised of about 64.6 thousand square
kilometers featuring many lakes and rivers. With well more than 2,000 lakes,
the opportunities for luxury
real estate development (vacation properties, resorts, condos) along
waterfronts are numerous. The Salaca River, which is about 95 kilometers in
length, makes up the largest salmon spawning ground in the eastern Baltics.
Another salmon-rich river is the Venta River, which is 346 kilometers long
with a confluence basin of 17,600 square kilometers.
Latvia environmental funds have been dedicated to the development of
environment protection, treatment for water and sewer, protection against
radiation, regional development, and energy conservation. These funds come
from the local and state budgets as well as from individual and
organizational donations. Due to the clean environment of Latvia, many
endangered species have found refuge there, including the black stork, the
white-backed woodpecker, the lesser spotted eagle, the European wolf, and
the European lynx.
There are many other contributing factors that make Latvia
real estate
appealing. Latvia has no atomic power plants. There are 956 biological
plants and 6 chemical treatment plants. There are also 477 mechanical
plants. Forests make up about 44 percent of the country's territory; about
half of the forests of Latvia grow in mineral soil with a fourth of them
being moist forests.
Farming
Real Estate in Latvia
Latvia
real estate offers many opportunities for farmers. About 39 percent of
Latvia's
immovable property is agricultural land. The typical farming property
features farmsteads, fields, and pastures. The climate in Latvia is ideal
for farming as well with mild summers and moderate winters, and a high level
of precipitation and humidity. In seeking a
house for sale or
land for sale, you'll notice the farmlands of Latvia are characterized
as rural areas where residents live in harmony with nature. With ancient
traditions such as the annual Jani bonfire, year round festivities, and many
farm owners offering bed and breakfast services with tourist activities,
there's always something to enjoy in Latvia.
Latvia has fertile farmlands, with specialties in pork and bacon, dairy
products, and pedigree livestock farming. Organic farming, which began in
Latvia in 1989, is growing substantially. By 2004, there were as many as
1,043 organic farms in Latvia thanks to an action plan developed in 2003 to
create interest in organic farming. This resulted in the areas of organic
farm
real estate almost doubling from 2003 to 2004.
With
immovable property being so affordable in Latvia today, it's a great
time to grab fertile farmland. View houses and
