Located on 7.5 acres (3 hectares) of land, with 10 fully-furnished one-bedroom housing units, a 3 bedroom/2 bath house attached to the main lodge, an inifinity pool, a 2500 sq ft wellness center, spa facility and breathtaking yoga studio, and main lodge with industrial kitchen complete with appliances, dishes, and utensils. With a comfortably furnished lounge area and activity room complete with dining balcony overlooking the breathtaking jungle, this property provides a move-in-ready start for a sustainable co-housing community.

 

The wellness center features 4 bedroom-sized spaces (can also be offices, treatment/ meeting rooms) and 2 bathrooms on the lower level; and an expansive, open-air octagonal teak wood yoga studio space with durable Palmex roof and rain shades, plus kitchen and storage on the upper level.

 

Another 2 bedroom/2 bath house is also on the property, as well as a fully functional glamping tent with bath & shower.

 

Water is sourced on the property from an abundant mountain spring, and the available Wi-Fi is excellent.

 

The land is full of edible plants and fruit trees (mango, plantain, coconut, guava, noni and more), plus a large hydroponic greenhouse and free-range chicken pen with roaming space. You can harvest up to 200kg per year of organic tumeric and ginger. Along the jungle trails down to the creek bordering the property, you’ll find a re-forested area of 600+ semi-hardwood Pochote trees (quite valuable!) and other diverse flora in abundance.

 

The land can also be developed further into 5-7 additional lots for sustainable home sites, plus plenty of space and organic soil for more permaculture planting. Neighboring land could be available on both sides of the property for future expansion.

 

There is an infinity-edged pool with lounging area and bathroom, plus an expansive laundry/storage facility. Property includes everything you need: pool furniture, stocked kitchen, appliances, all furnishings.
