  Beschreibung

  An off-grid 1.5 hectare property in a beautiful jungle setting.
  The house is solar-powered, with water capture from the roof, solar hot water, and fibre-optic internet connection. It has stunning views, overlooking cow pasture, jungle and the Panama mountains and is about 7 km from Puerto Viejo.
  I am in the process of building a natural swimming pool, finishing the construction of the house, and developing the land. I have planted about 100 fruit and nut trees from around the world and have built 4 ponds where I am raising tilapia. Additionally, I have about 4 hectares of jungle property nearby, bordering protected primary rainforest, where I have planted a food forest containing about 200 fruit and nut trees.
  The Workawayers would have their own private room and bathroom, and we would work together on building the natural swimming pool, DIY of the house, and various tasks around the garden and, learning from each other. I'm experienced in permaculture but this is the first time that I am building a natural swimming pool and I have very little experience in DIY. The infrastructure of the house has already been built and five bedrooms, two bathrooms, kitchen and a large 100 sq metre deck / yoga platform have already been completed and being used and lived in. We will be completing a cooking area on the deck. The garden has also mostly been planted but I would like to continue to build food forests and other infrastructure.
  In their free time Workawayers can hike through the lush rainforest, birdwatch locally, or alternatively take a bus ride to nearby beaches and towns such as Puerto Viejo and Bri Bri, where there is plenty of surfing, swimming, snorkeling, kayaking, chocolate tours etc, as well as shops, restaurants and bars.
  This location is most suitable for nature lovers.

  This site is most suitable for people who enjoy nature. The surrounding development is 125 hectares, most of which is jungle, but there are also ponds and maintained roads to gain access, as well as some privately owned properties. It is not suitable for anyone who needs to be near shops, restaurants and bars etc. The nearest transport is a bus stop about 25 minutes walk away. The bus goes to Bri Bri, Puerto Viejo, San Jose etc. The nearest grocery store is 1.5 kilometres away. Occasional transport will be available when I drive to Puerto Viejo or Bri Bri etc. to go grocery shopping. I usually go to town about twice a week.
