Help with DIY projects at a sustainable jungle home near Puerto Viejo, Costa Rica

Detalhes

  Descrição

  An off-grid 1.5 hectare property in a beautiful jungle setting. The house is solar-powered, with water capture from the roof, 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. 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 Workawayers would have their own private room and bathroom, and we would work together on DIY of the house and various tasks around the garden and, learning from each other. I'm 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 two more bedrooms, a kitchen and the large 100 sq metre deck / yoga platform. The garden has also mostly been planted but I would like to continue to build food forests and other infrastructure.
  In their free time Workawayers can hike through the lush rainforest, birdwatch locally, or alternatively take a 1 hour bus ride to nearby beaches and towns such as Puerto Viejo and Bri Bri, where there is plenty of surfing, swimming, snorkeling, kayaking, chocolate tours etc, as well as shops, restaurants and bars.
  This location is most suitable for nature lovers.
