  Description

  I am building an ecofriendly farm, cabinas and hostel on my 8 acre property directly on the Seirpe River in Seirpe, Costa Rica. I raise pigs, chickens and sheep at the moment with a small garden. I already have 3 basic cabinas set up, 2 dorm style buildings and a caretakers cottage as well as my 3 bedroom house with kitchen. My plan is to expand the garden, the enclosure for the animals since they are never caged and are free roam and build a platform on the backside of the property for yoga or other retreats. I do all of the work by myself and a couple helpers at the moment.

  Accommodation

  I have a dorm style building with twin beds, 3 basic cabinas with a full bed and a caretakers cottage with AC, a full bed and a twin bed. The kitchen is in the main house. I also have a dock and pier with hamocks on the river and enough flat land to pitch as many tents and you could want. Each room has a small refrigerator and shower. Food is available for a discount a a restaurant in town for all volunteers or you can use the kitchen in the main house if you want to purchase and cook food

  What else ...

  There is a free boat shuttle available to get across the river, great food in Seirpe that is in walking distance once you get across the river as well as small supermarkets. Nightlife is usually on my dock across the river. Seirpe is a small village of approximately 5000 people. You'll get to know the locals, see the ebb and flow of the tourists and be able to eacale it when you cross the river
