Description
We started the building of the eco project early 2022. I have a 3500m2 land 300 meters from an amazing surf spot in El Transito, Nicaragua.
We created 3 wood buildings which have ocean views.
From August 2023, the place became fully functional. From December 2025, we stopped welcoming guests with a full management and put the property for rent, looking for partnership.
So the Volunteer positions can happen time to time.
The buildings have no walls to offer a different experience and to connect with nature. We didn't push on the permaculture side, we have dry toilets and use as fertilizer and we have a natural filter for the water used in the kitchen.
2 Dry toilets, 2 showers without roof, 1 shared kitchen.
About me... I'm a French born in 83, make your calculations:P

There is so much to do and work on, great people around, and good surf. Jerome himself creates a lot of opportunity and emphasises the importance of getting to know the locals, which we liked a lot.
Thank you very much, we wish you all the best for the future of your project !
