About this property

Stunning Cathedral Ceiling Bamboo house on Coffee Farm near Poas Volcano

Bamboo House and additional Cottage on Organic Coffee farm

Enjoy the Bamboo house with stunning panoramic views of Poas volcano and the Central Valley. This is a one of a kind living space designed by the great Costa Rican Bamboo builder, Martin Cato. The hand made bamboo ceiling soars to a glass dome that, at night, focuses the moon beam as it travels across the hand laid hardwood and stone flooring. Natural light illuminates the space from every side for a 360 degree view - see the wondrous multi-colored hummingbirds, butterflies, coffee fields, banana plants and grand colors of the Costa Rican natural surroundings. The house is set in the center of a five acre organic coffee farm. Very private and peaceful. Part of our vision is to live sustainable so the house is solar powered. You can still stay connected via Internet.

We love sitting on the deck late in the afternoon, enjoying beverages, and watching the sun set!

You'll want to hang out all day so we've provided gas stove, fridge and all the cooking utensils. There is a queen bed in the bamboo house and bathroom across the deck. Check out the Virtual Tour in the Photos section!!!

In addition we have an additional cottage adjacent to the house perfect for a second couple or children.

We highly recommend a 4x4 vehicle as we the farm is on a gravel road. The space has a sofa bed and loft as well as a kitchenette and bathroom. The cottage has a patio with view of Banana trees and the mountains. In addition there is a fire pit and garden area connecting the 2 living spaces. You'll love the locally made artisan bbq grill in the backyard.

Take a tour of the property with Jose, our caretaker. He loves people and is always delighted to show you the farm to cup process. Watch him roast a batch of our rich, tasty coffee - you 'll be drinking the fresh roast the next day. It's akin to eating fresh bread right out of the oven!

Eco - coffee tour.
Final stop while visiting Costa Rica. House is very comfortable for a couple, but as 3 that needed separate sleeping accommodations, it was less than ideal. Very remote and private location - beautiful setting - well maintained - was not as bird or wildlife influenced as other places we visited, but wonderful nonetheless. We’d stay here again.

RELAXATION EXTREME
Very peaceful and relaxing. Beautiful with a wonderful sleep on comfortable bed. Jose the manager was fabulous. The only reason for a 4 star was it was difficult to get the hot water in the shower adjusted. I guess it needs a new knob. Also, which no fault of owner, the road is very rough getting to their drive. You do need a 4 wheel drive.

Host profile image
Currently we live in Berkeley California and get to Costa Rica as much as possible. We have been loving learning about organic farming and sustainable living. We continue to grow in our appreciation for Costa Rica and look forward to sharing it with others.

Why they chose this property

We were drawn to the property because of it's incredible views and it's central location to both the city and tourist attractions .

What makes this property unique

We find it hard to leave the farm and spend most of our time relaxing on the deck of the house watching the hummingbirds and butterflies. Building with natural materials was a great experience and the feel of the house is so different then traditional structures.
