Program Details

Welcome to our peaceful mountain homestead in Costa Rica! 🌄

We are looking for a mature, responsible couple who enjoys a quiet lifestyle, takes pride in caring for their surroundings, and appreciates living close to nature.

Our 90-acre property is a private home and natural sanctuary where we focus on maintaining and improving the land and living spaces through practical skills, shared responsibilities, and cultural exchange.

What we offer:

• A private apartment for two people.
• Shared seasonal farm produce.
• A peaceful mountain environment surrounded by nature.
• A flexible daily schedule.

In exchange, we ask for approximately 25 hours of collaboration per person each week.

We value independence, initiative, mutual respect, and open communication. Our goal is to create a comfortable and cooperative environment where everyone can contribute their skills while enjoying life in Costa Rica.


Activities & Shift

Our daily activities follow the natural rhythm of homestead life rather than a traditional work schedule.

Participation averages approximately 5 hours per person per day, with flexibility depending on current projects and individual schedules.

Activities may include🔨:

• Housekeeping: thorough cleaning, household organization, and maintaining comfortable living spaces.
• Gardening: planting, landscaping, and caring for the grounds.
• Animal care: feeding and caring for domestic animals.
• Outdoor maintenance: maintaining walking trails and outdoor areas.
• Repairs: basic carpentry, painting, and general repairs.
• Creative projects: contributing practical skills and ideas to improve the property.
• Organization: organizing supplies and maintaining household systems.
• Teamwork: helping coordinate daily priorities with our existing property team.

We especially welcome couples with complementary skills, where one person enjoys hands-on outdoor projects while the other prefers cleaning, organizing, and maintaining a comfortable home.

We encourage volunteers to share their experience, contribute ideas, and work independently or collaboratively according to their strengths.


Rules

Our homestead is a peaceful private home and natural sanctuary. We ask everyone to treat the property, animals, equipment, and one another with kindness, care, and respect.

Our expectations include:

• Cleanliness: maintain high standards of cleanliness and organization in private and shared spaces.
• Privacy: respect personal boundaries, privacy, and quiet time.
• Communication: communicate openly about schedules, responsibilities, and concerns.
• Responsibility: be dependable, proactive, and considerate of others.
• Animal welfare: treat all animals gently and responsibly.
• Safety: use tools and equipment safely and report maintenance concerns appropriately.
• Nature conservation: respect the natural environment, water sources, and wildlife.
• Property security: keep gates secured and follow property safety procedures.
• Visitors: welcome outside guests only with prior approval.
• Respectful behavior: maintain a peaceful environment free from aggressive or threatening behavior.

We appreciate self-sufficient, emotionally mature individuals who are comfortable balancing independence with community living.

Our goal is to create a positive and respectful experience where everyone feels safe, comfortable, and valued. ❤️
