5000 square meters of lush beautiful gardens and a private river located in a beautiful valley between two volcanoes in northern Costa Rica (1 1/2 hours from Liberia airport (2 hours to the closest Beach)... the area is lush rainforest in a valley between 2 volcanoes, warm in the daytime but not too hot, and cool in the nighttime... surrounded by rivers and mountain views. check out the gallery of the website for the small retreat center we run on the property for many pictures (www.echoesoflightretreats.com) . The house itself is very cute, small, cozy and clean and i can send some pictures upon request. It is a 2 bdrm one bathroom house with outdoor kitchen, lots of outdoor chill out space hammocks , yoga space, fire pit, tables and chairs, cushions etc... The house a hot water shower, a washer and dryer, gas and wood cooking stoves. The only catch is this is a wifi free area so fortunately or unfortunately depending on how you look at it... no wifi... (though you can get a local Kolbi phone chip and use data for basic internet needs and I am also happy to leave my post paid phone chip to whomever stays here). Wifi (slow wifi) is available in some businesses in the town of Bijagua 4 kms away. We live in a SUPER safe area out in the mountains a bit far from town (4.5kms/ 15 min drive/ 1hour walk) but we will be leaving our car and it will be available for house sitter to go into town to super market or bank...This is an amazing opportunity for a writer’s getaway or a retreat for those who wish to “disconnect”, great for artists who wish to paint or do art in an quiet inspirational environment, great for a Yogi looking for a quiet place to practice and meditate, great for a nature lover who wants to take long hikes and swim in pristine rivers. we have a lovely super friendly tibetan terrier (small shaggy white dog) who is 9 years old and very calm and quiet, as well as a pair of turkey. we will be leaving the country roughly from mid october to mid november (dates are flexible). We prefer if those who stay have at least basic gardening skills and are willing to make an effort to keep the house and outdoor spaces very clean. Thank you!
