Working Organic Farm With Home And Educational Center High In The Mountains Near San Isidro

This working organic farm, nature retreat and teaching center was designed with permaculture and sustainable principles in mind. The farm hosts volunteers, student groups, interns, adventurists and individuals looking for a healing retreat or wish to perform community service. The farm currently supplies fresh produce to restaurants, local markets and individuals. Access to the farm is relatively easy as it is only 35 minutes from the popular Pacific Coast surf town of Dominical and 15 minutes from the growing city of San Isidro del General, or Perez Zeledon as the locals call it.

The property is "water rich" with 3 year-round creeks, over 20 springs, a small pond, a fully contained river swimming pool and countless hidden waterfalls.

Approximately 10 acres of the 57 acre property is used for organic cultivation while 2/3 of the land is comprised of primary forest that borders a large nature preserve. The land is biologically diverse as it provides travel corridors and a natural sanctuary for the amazing array of Costa Rican wildlife living in the area. Once a sizable pre-Columbian village, there is a deep history to the property. Signs of an ancient culture can be found with old walking paths, bridges, rustic stairways and many indigenous artifacts that have been found on site.
