  Description

  Welcome 🌞
  I'm developing a peaceful off-grid fruit garden beneath a beautiful Cenicaro tree.
  The project started in early 2024 and is steadily growing into a natural, simple, and calm living space.
  The surrounding area is quiet and spacious. You will find the Farm Buena Vida, the pizzería MadDogs, a number of fenced but empty lots, and a colorful small settlement that is not yet inhabited—creating a relaxed and open atmosphere with plenty of privacy.
  This is an ideal opportunity for someone who enjoys nature, independence, and slow, intentional living.
  
  What I Need Help With:
  
  🌱
  Watering and caring for the young fruit garden
  
  🧹
  Simple upkeep and daily maintenance
  
  🌙
  Staying on the property overnight
  
  💬
  Communicating with us when needed (we support you from the background)
  
  The work is relaxed and suited for someone who likes calm days and self-directed tasks. Perfect for couples because of space and privacy.
  
  Location & Mobility:
  - Remote, natural, and quiet
  -Recommended: rent a motorbike or bicycle
  
  🚶 Beach: ~35 minutes walking
  🚶 Grocery store: ~20 minutes walking

  Simple off-grid living space
  
  ☀️

  🍳
  Outdoor kitchen with gas stove
  
  📶
  Mobile reception available (no Wi-Fi)
  
  🚽
  A comfortable outdoor toilet
  
  🤹🎵
  I'm leaving my loved stuff for you:
  A Handpan, juggling balls, frisbees, a contact staff,..
  
  What You Cover:
  - Minimum stay: 2 weeks
  - Your drinking water (19L = 90 Córdobas ≈ $2.50)
  - Your food
  (I provide a list of affordable stores in Rivas and Popoyo for smart shopping)
  
  Who This Place Suits:

  - Independent, calm, reliable volunteers
  - People who enjoy off-grid simplicity, quiet surroundings, and meaningful small-scale projects

  A wooden house with two levels. The second level would be your Bedroom with a stunning view into a fully green hilly landscape of Nicaragua (and an amazing sunrise with rising fog often).

  Also a gas cooking system and easy cooking utensils.
  Also there's a toilet and a shower

  There are buses for under 5$ going to Rivas, Nandaime and Managua.
  You can rent a motorbike for 300$ a moth or buy one for about 700$ or less (sell and buy).
  The Beaty of popoyo is definitely the beach and the surf opportunity's.
  But also it's a nice mix between tourism expands and locals. A lot less busy than San Juan del sur or granada.
  Also there are hot water pools and ocean pools in the area. Horseriding on the beach and a few more things.
