There is wildlife in wild natural abundance, including jaguar, ocelot, puma, jaguarundi, sloths, kinkajou, agouti, and many of the animals found in pre-Columbian times. Bird-lovers know of the phenomenal avian life in Costa Rica, and the avifauna here is both extensive and impressive – from the tiniest hummingbirds to the huge crested Guan; brilliant red Tanagers, electric-blue Dacnis, Emerald Toucanets, flocks of bright yellow and green Sulphur-winged Parakeets, Fiery-billed Aracaris, and, of course, the Resplendent Quetzal – thought by many to be the most beautiful bird in the world.
A Lost World
After bumping along a rough track for a journey of two hours by jeep – deep into the jungle and mountains of Costa Rica as far as you can possibly go, it’s quite a surprise to suddenly arrive at the most extraordinary place – a place so incongruous that it shouldn’t be there, a Lost World where the mist and clouds drift and hug the mountains creating a scene more reminiscent of the setting for a Jules Verne or Arthur Conan Doyle novel.
A Safe Haven
This amazing property consists of a house, staff quarters, quest cottages, a school, study/leisure centre, studio room, a schoolhouse, extensive gardens, a pub, outside bar, clubhouse, cloud chapel, stables, bird observatory, hot tubs, thermal wellsprings, miles of pure rushing rivers, a hundred waterfalls, and miles of hiking trails – all carefully crafted from hardwood, imported Canadian cedar, tile and stone. It is completely off-grid with its own hydro-power system, kitchen & herb gardens, and ample water from pure springs. A testament to “Off-Grid Safe Haven” living, it is a totally private, secure, and confidential safe haven, set in the midst of a cloud-forest paradise, forgotten by time.
Price Reduced: $475,000.
Access road.
Although it is a heaven-sent centre for recovery, relaxation, reflection, rehabilitation, study, invigoration, inspiration, and healing – this is not an easy place to reach. It is several hours from civilization, accessible via a rough mountain road. This is a place for the adventurous soul and creative spirit.
