My place
I have two domains, a beach lot 520 sq meters with two houses , edible garden, in process remodeling and adding, and a 2 hectares food forest farm that is a twenty minute walk up the hill. Both were purchased in 2000. The beach lot is in the center of the town of Rio Claro , Pavones, 2 minute walk to beach and river, close walk to restaurants and supermarkets. Banks and medical services are about an hour drive away. Farm was planted in 2000 and is quite mature now, has caretaker living in super rustic shack, no electricity or plumbed water.

A great place between the beach and the jungle! Brent is an excellent host, I had a great time there! He has a lot of great projects including building his farm in the jungle. He also has a lot of knowledge to teach about nature and plants. I highly recommend him!
