Have you ever wondered what the Sounds of Silence are? You will be able to hear them on this farm.
The house is located on a family run tree farm. It's huge windows give you a view that will keep you looking for hours, it is built from our own harvested wood, and the floor came from a dismantled local church.
If the season is right you can watch migrating birds fly in swarms over your head. You may spot many types of toucans, birds of prey, and woodpeckers! There is a small butterfly farm just a few steps from the main house, just for the fun of it.
You can see many native trees, as well as trees grown for harvesting. Pick blackberries, guavas, sour oranges, and fruits you never knew existed; have a barbecue in front of the best view in Costa Rica!
If you like to KAYAK, this is a great place to have a base. The Pacuare and Reventazon Rivers are just minutes away. Daily Rafting trips are available from local tour operator.
