About this property
Casa Harlequin at Margarita Hills
Cabina Harlequin is a container home located in the jungle in the neighborhood Cocles which is 15 minutes from Puerto Viejo. The home is built bordering Rio Negro and neighbors the owner's home on a 3 hectare farm. There are chickens, ducks, goats, and sheep. The bedroom and bathroom are on the first floor and the kitchen and sitting area are on the second level where you can enjoy farm fresh eggs and coffee watching the parrots, sloths, and monkeys from the deck. There is 100Mbps fiber optic internet.
A 20 foot container has 1 wall knocked out to expand the size of the bedroom. The bathroom is an add-on room off the back of the container which has natural stone tile throughout. The bathroom sink has a live edge wood pedestal (found on the farm). The container doors open up to the heliconia garden. There is a desk inside the cabin with a view of the garden. There is a trundle bed with a queen size mattress for an additional person. The open air kitchen is on the second level. There is a 2 burner induction stove, air fryer/toaster oven, blender, coffee maker, and refrigerator. There is a hot/cold water dispenser supplied with spring water. There is also a breakfast bar, a hammock. and sofa on the second level. The cabin is surrounded in trees and a small river so it is a lovely spot to relax and experience life on a jungle farm.
Casa Harlequin is located on a farm 2km from the main road with hills. There is covered parking.
There is a UPS backup inside the cabin for the router in case of power outages. There is also a gravity rainwater tank available in case of power outages (pump requires power). The water for the cabin is harvested rainwater. There are full house filters and a UV lamp filter that process the water. It is potable and can be used to cook with or wash vegetables. Spring water so that is also available. The cabin has a tankless hot water heater. There is a septic treatment plant installed which minimizes your impact to the environment.

About the host
Hosted by Theresa Field
My name is Tree and I live on the farm with my menagerie including 11 dogs and 6 cats. I am a software consultant and work from home. I enjoy meeting people from around the world who share my love of animals and come to the farm to experience the natural beauty of Costa Rica. I have a passion for protecting the environment and the jungle that I live in.
Why they chose this property
Cocles has beautiful beaches. There is both surfing and areas of reef that offer a great snorkeling adventure depending on the weather. There's a beach trail that follows the coastline from Puerto Viejo to Manzanillo. There are many supermarkets and great restaurants in the area. Jaguar Rescue Center is also located within 3km of the farm. The farm is 50% undeveloped and this serves as a jungle buffer which provides a home to our local wildlife. The following animals are often spotted on the farm: howler monkeys, 2 and 3 toed sloths, capuchin monkeys, agoutis, 2 species of toucans, macaws, parrots, and many more types of birds.
What makes this property unique
Margarita Hills farm spans over 3 hectares of lush jungle and meticulously curated gardens, all developed in perfect harmony with the natural environment. The property is uniquely framed by two vibrant creeks, serving as vital lifelines that attract a diverse array of wildlife. These natural water sources, coupled with the abundant food available in the surrounding flora, create a sanctuary for local fauna. Birds chirp melodiously in the canopy, while butterflies flutter among the flowering blooms, and small mammals scurry through the underbrush. This serene ecosystem not only supports biodiversity but also enhances the ecological value of the area, making Margarita Hills a true haven for nature lovers and a testament to conservation.
