    Beschreibung

    I live alone on a 1.5 hectare property in a sustainable residential development. The house is solar-powered, with water capture from the roof, hot water from solar heaters, 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 finishing the construction of the house and developing the land using permaculture techniques. I have planted about 100 fruit and nut trees from around the world and have built 4 ponds where I will be 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 Workaways and I would work together on various tasks around the garden and DIY of the house, learning from each other. I am very experienced in permaculture but have very little experience in DIY. The infrastructure of the house has already been built and three bedrooms, two bathrooms and kitchen already completed and being used and lived in. We will be completing further bedrooms, kitchens and the large 100 sq metre deck / yoga platform. The garden has also largely been planted but I would like to continue to build food forests and other infrastructure.
    There are no locally employed staff.
    In their free time Workawayers can hike or birdwatch locally, or alternatively visit nearby beaches and towns such as Puerto Viejo and Bri Bri, via public transport. At the local beaches and towns there is plenty of surfing, swimming, snorkling, kayaking, chocolate tours etc, as well as restaurants and bars etc.

    This site is most suitable for people who enjoy nature. The 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 1.5 kilometres away. The bus goes to Bri Bri and Puerto Viejo 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.
