Stunning property.

We arrived after sundown and were greeted with a blanket of stars over the property. Our cottage was beautiful and the sounds of nature made falling asleep incredibly easy. We woke up to an incredible view and the sounds of the farm to start our day right. Then we had some of the homegrown coffee and couldn't be happier we got to stay here.

Peaceful

It was a super pleasant stay; the ducks in the morning were especially entertaining and the neighborhood was sleepy and quiet. Loved it!

Gorgeous Views

We had a great time with our stay. The cabin was clean and had great views of the property and the ocean. We loved all of the farm animal friends that came to visit us on the porch! It was perfect for a couple nights while we explored the east side of the island.

What makes this property unique

We welcome all plant, nature, Art & spirituality enthusiasts on our farm and share our dream & knowledge with them. Our farm is only 4 years old but with our hard work and commitment we have achieved a lot and already producing a lot food on this farm.

We use our vegetable garden to grow Eggplants, Tomatoes, Edible & Medicinal Herbs, Greens, perennial spinach, Sweet potatoes, Taro. Also have Kobocha pumpkin patches spread around the farm.

We have multiple mature fruit trees like Banana, Avocados, Pineapples, Lychee, Longon, Tangerines, lemons, Calamansi, Guavas, Lilikoi (Passionfruit), Dragon Fruit, Jackfruit, Star Fruit, Soursop (2022 first fruiting season), Papayas, Coconuts, Malabar chestnut, Bilimbi, Surinam Cherry & Coffee.

We have also planted more tropical grafted trees that are already 2 to 3 years old. Some of these trees include Mango, avocado, more citrus & cacao.

We practice various permaculture practices on the farm and hope to fulfill our dream of becoming self-sufficient & provide affordable/free food to our community. Our animal manure & organic waste goes to feed our trees. We rely on rainwater catchment and our grey water is diverted to water our plants. Our chickens are free ranging mostly fed from food scraps from the farm.

Our Art Cafe is a cool rustic hangout spot constructed from recycled sustainable materials & provides space to get your creative juices flowing. We provide paints, canvas & various other supplies.

Make yourself a nice cup of hot chocolate and hangout at our deck for stargazing at night. The milky way galaxy is fully visible in our sky due to very little light pollution. You will most likely see and wish upon a shooting star! If you're visiting in August, the Perseid meteor shower will take your breath away.

There is also a private access to some secluded waterfalls from the property. You can get adventurous and hike down and spend the day exploring and swimming in waterfalls.
