Hacienda Buena Vista, considered one of Puerto Rico's best
remaining examples of a coffee plantation, consists of an 87 acre
agricultural complex constructed in the mid-19th century. The hacienda's
principle buildings, grouped together within a three acre area, include the
hacienda manor house, a carriage house, horse and mule stables, a
caretaker's house and office, two warehouses, a hurricane shelter, a corn
mill and slave quarters.
A canal, beginning at the top of "Vives Waterfall," goes through an aqueduct
and on to the coffee mill, which is a two-story wooden building located to
the northwest of the Hacienda Manor House. At its height Hacienda Buena
Vista produced and processed more than 10,000 pounds of coffee per year for
shipment to Europe. The Conservation Trust of Puerto Rico purchased the land
and buildings from the Vives family in 1984.
Hacienda Buena Vista is located in Barrio Magüeyes, on road PR-10 north of
Ponce, Puerto Rico. The Conservation Trust of Puerto Rico completed
restoration of the hacienda complex for use as a living musuem. Reservations
