Descripción
A long, narrow and magical piece of land with native forest, hills, meadows and its own stream, right in the heart of Chile, 300 km from Santiago.
We are Sebastián (Swiss-German), Ceci (Chilean) and parents of three daughters. Three years ago we started this dream: a regenerative, experimental project with a true community soul – a place where dreams still fit.
Here we don’t work, we live from sunrise to sunset with all kinds of land-based tasks. You swim in summer, practise ice baths (Wim Hof style) in winter, grow 100 % organic food, build with wood, cob and straw bales, distill essential oils, make preserves, and live surrounded by native forest and your own waterfalls.
Who we’re looking for
Motivated people with independence and real commitment.
Recommended minimum: 3–4 weeks (the longer, the better).
Medium & long-term volunteers (3–24 months) are especially welcome.
What we offer
Healthy home-cooked food (exactly what we eat ourselves)
Basic accommodation: main house, cabin under construction, converted van-room or nice camping spot
Composting toilet (biodegradable hygiene products only, please), solar shower, solar electricity, cable internet (zero Wi-Fi, phones on airplane mode inside the house)
Private mountain-water lagoon for swimming
Current projects
Finishing the big straw-bale & cob house
Building volunteer cabins + therapy cabins
Food forest, market garden, preserves
Chickens, goats & cheese-making (coming soon)
Especially welcome
Farmers, gardeners, carpenters, builders, plumbers, electricians, solar experts, natural builders, content creators… but truly anyone with good energy and eagerness to learn is perfect.
This is NOT a resort or a yoga retreat with Wi-Fi.
This is real, pioneering, no-filter rural life.
If you’re ready to unplug from the virtual world, reconnect with the earth and truly grow… we’re waiting for you with open arms.
Recommended minimum stay: 3–4 weeks
Ideal: several months or a full gap year
Sebastián, Ceci & the family ❤️

Algo más...
As we live as ecologically as possible, we are for example using a composting toilet and biodegradable shower lotions in order to not affect negatively the natural balance.
Please be aware that you´ll get much more in contact on a daily basis with earth, wood, straw and animals, like Cats, Dog and Ducks. A lot of what we harvest takes only 10 minutes from the field onto the plate.
Also, as long as we all live under the same roof, it would be very nice if the daily routines, including bedtimes would be respected, as everyone needs a good night of sleep, in order to be energy renewed the next morning and ready to rock the world again in this beautiful Paradise.

Acceso a Internet
Acceso a Internet limitado
Tenemos animales
Somos fumadores
Puede alojar familias
Puede acoger a nómadas digitales
Yes, but That would mean a different kind of deal, what would have to be discussed beforehand.
Espacio para aparcar autocaravanas
Yes absolutly, there is enough space for large vehicles, no more than 12 ton and not adwisable to be longer than 10m due to a winding entrance.
Podría aceptar mascotas
We try to keep nature away from too much predators, but have two cats and a smal Dogy ourselfs, but if someone would have a well domesticated dog, not barking all night long then yes it would be posible.
